Good morning!
Thanks for starting the thread, lennon!
Womble, so glad to hear your pup is doing well! That's amazing that they're sending the stones to America for analysis, I can see not having a lab really close by but you would think there would be one a little closer!
This morning it is one whole degree warmer than yesterday morning--it's minus 8, with a "feels like" of minus 27.
Last night I did not take the dog out at 8, and everything was fine--she did not pant and she did not have to go out overnight. I feed her in 15 minutes and I assume she'll want to go out right away instead of waiting as usual. I woke up every 2 hours last night, not on purpose, it just happened that way, so I got up and checked the first floor faucets each time. One of the times it took me an hour to fall back but still got about 6 hours.
I'm going to do another load of laundry today, hopefully the pipes down there aren't frozen, maybe it will help to run the washer so I'll do that today and the next few days too. Other than that I will play it by ear to see what I can get done. Put extra seed out for the birds. And keep checking the faucets, of course.

Morning lennon , womble , Diane! Thanks for getting the weekend started lennon ! Womble I am glad your dog is feeling better! Diane that is cold cold cold ! Where I grew up that would have been lets go out and play in the snow weather but I have been away from there for a long while. Now it dips below 30 and I am so cold and staying in the house. I still remember in college once it was -13 below with - 60 degree wind chill factor so they canceled classes and a ton of people were out having a good time and we went sledding. The college was so ticked they said so much for letting students off so they did not have to walk to class - that we would have been better off in class rather than outside all day. So then they made it so if they canceled class due to weather that security would go around and shoo people inside. Also I just don’t have the clothes for it anymore which is part of it. We wore double long arctic underwear, pants, snow overalls over that with heavy sweaters, snow vests, arctic coats, heated socks, extra sets of gloves, ear protectors, hats, scarfs, boots, goggles with snow sun shielding, and etc. I just have a reg Fall/Winter LLbean coat and have no idea where even my fashionable Winter gloves are located in the house. I am off work today so trying to do some extra prep in the house for the week/month. I have got the laundry started which is something. I always feel better with the laundry going as it makes me feel that I am getting twice as much done with the washer/dryer working and me working. Extra bonus if the dishwasher is working too and the auto shredder. Next up is a pick stuff up run around the house for 10 minutes.

Good morning TML! How did you even move with all that clothing on? That's part of my problem here, I have more winter items like scarves and mittens but usually when I take the dog out I just put on my windbreaker. The last 2 days though, I have a hood and gloves as well. She did want to go out after breakfast, and she did a little better in the snow. And thankfully, hurried up and finished and came right back inside. I started the laundry, I will try to work on plants this morning.

I am so confused. I saw there was another page on the Weekend thread and wondered why was everybody writing on that. As my brain kind of focused I realized that, yes indeed, we did just have a weekend. And now it is Monday, not Tuesday or Wednesday. Can I just go back to bed?

Too many holidays in too short a period, danny, I am mixed up too. It doesn't help that some of the regular hosts on the cable news shows I watch were off for the holidays so that made me think weekdays were Saturday or Sunday.
I moved the laundry to the dryer and took stock of my bird seed, etc. downstairs. It looks like I need sunflower seeds--I think I get them from Walmart but I won't place an order until tomorrow or Wednesday in case they deliver from the store, I don't want to send someone out in below zero cold to deliver an order that isn't urgent. I'm sure I can come up with more stuff to make the free shipping amount.
The sun is out, I don't know if it's actually warming anything up but psychologically it makes it feel warmer.

Good afternoon, everypony!
I had the same confusion, danny15! I concluded that it must be Friday. NOT!
DONE: slept in caffeinated saw DVD and M off--they are shopping in another city and will be gone for a while updated log--could not remember yesterday at all checked online balance transferred $ checked email joined Braco livestream LD called and she is coming over to deliver a bench. I'm kinda bummed as I was looking forward to being alone all day. But it will be a short visit.
I'm gonna go back to bed and see if that helps

Good afternoon scholar!
The dog went out again, and I had lunch, and talked to my decluttering client...I did a little plant care and then got involved in watching Broadchurch on Amazon Prime.
This is the warmest time of day and the temp has gone all the way up to 4 degrees!
I saw that a town in Montana had a 54 below temperature (not wind chill) a couple of days ago so I'm counting my blessings). How do animals outside even live through that?

I posted in all three of my challenges, and now I'm going to go around and declutter everything except my containers of water from the purposely dripping faucets. Then I will have dinner.

Hi Everyone! I am still at it. Laundry and Dishes and Trash and a little PEEPing. Plus lots of kitty care I did not get over to see Mom today - I need to do some paperwork at her place and was not sure the office staff would be there today as the phone pick ups were slow. So I will go this week. Bad weather is us so far in 2024 though - cold, rain, ice, snow. I need a “I wish I was a snow bird” tshirt. I am on break again. Then it is back to the kitchen and more dishes - yay
