I'm so sorry, Wanderlore. Just remember, it's the last gift you can give them, in return for all the love and loyalty they give...

They are like family - they ARE family, aren't they? I'm so sorry @WanderLore .
DH got a wild hair and cleaned out one of the rooms completely. There is some stuff that still needs to be put away, but it was a good use of our time. Insurance is still.... challenging, but I'm not feeling quite so overwhelmed. Tomorrow will be taxes (maybe). Sigh.

So sad to hear this.

20's tonight and frigid tomorrow. DH managed to get heat strips to work on furnace. Using them as little as possible because they are so expensive to use. Fireplace takes care of living area in daytime. We like a cool bedroom so just tossed another blanket on.
DGD called to vent. Training to start new job next week. Class of 100 people online. She swears that less than 1/3 of class acted like adults. Many of them failed class. Says she never thought she would see so much idiocy in one room. I spent today in a 2 hour training class. Fortunately everyone was professional. Gig starts Monday so we had to pay attention. I will use the 2 gigs to fill my work week.
Thought about Meemur's tired all the time comment as I scheduled my hours next week. Keeping a set schedule as much as possible. Easier for DH. Our low carb meals are going well. Made a roux with mushrooms and garlic then added chicken. Was so good we have had it 2x now. Have several new recipes to try.
Did more stocking up on medical items. Gotta get more arnica gel. Truck door didn't stay open, got me right above one eye. Instant goose egg. Arnica has really kept the coloring and swelling down.

Currently 5º/feels like -17º with likelihood of windchills going down to -30º. Double winter weather advisory -- Cold with wind chills possibly down to -30º and the other 1" of snow and winds to 45 mph low visibility/whiteouts. Hibernation is the name of my game!! I'm so thankful church is available on U-tube.
I got 2 loads of laundry done today, floors swept and washed a pile of dirty dishes. Did a major shop for next week in my pantry. I used today as a skip day for physical therapy. I'm allowing one skip day per week, and my back thought today was that day. Gal that was supposed to do vacuuming canceled so I'm going to have to do that along with all the rest in preparation for next week's family Christmas.

We've got the artic blast again soon too. UG.
Poor sweet dog passed in sons arms halfway to vet. He is wrapped up on the bed in the cold room. We all had long cries. What a precious dog he was.
I didn't know what we will do about laying him to rest. Everything is very frozen.
It's 2 right now. Coffee
