It was about time

Well, well, well, I knew at SOME point this had to come we haven't had a bad winter in a few yrs so it was due now it's here to stay awhile & it's not letting up any time soon, thank God we thought to get everything we needed. I just hope in DUE time this lets up a little where I can get to a few appts I have & it starts warming up a bit but if not then I'll just have to cancel & reschedule what appts I have. I havein to do that cause I don't know how the weather will be for the next appt & I don't like having to reschedule appts over & over again, so I'll just wait & see how it goes from here. Every 1 that's IN this mess just hang tight & keep warm & safe the roads aren't safe to be on them & the weather is too cold to be out in it so the BEST thing to do is STAY IN DOORS. it's 5:30 & I'm too cold sitting here so I'm going to crawl BACK in bed & stay there till I THINK about getting up to do my meds & get something to eat that's WARM & go right back to bed.

We had to go out this morning, but we came back home before noon. It is cold outside and the roads are iced. I am glad we can stay home now.

that's what I like to hear, it's flipping COLD outside, I went to the cabin to feed the fish & check on the dogs. After I got that done, I found the snow shovel & cleaned what I could off the deck that was like 3 inches deep, but I got it done being we do have some sun maybe it will melt what's left & I also cleaned off the car that's under a awning but still got a In or 2 on the nose & windshield, so IF we go out tomorrow that will be melted & ready to go. I put a pair of laytex gloves on UNDER my winter gloves to keep my hands warm.

I'm sitting at -4 right now. Frozen pipes. Cold drafts in a travel trailer not made for this weather. I was out in the snow earlier today messing with my trailer and then took the truck to get a Dutch Bros. I haven't thawed since then. I'll be so glad for the warm up the end of the week.

@2ndchances24 It's still snowing but up from the negatives now. Yes, they are not made for this but I had no choice 10 months ago when i had to sell my mini cabin. Going west this summer.

I don't like this extreme weather. It is warmer here, but winter is depressing.

it's the man up stairs that has control over the weather we have to look on the bright side, your not homeless you have food when you want it at any time of the day you have a bed to take a nap or a full nights sleep, it could be a lot worse, like you could be stuck with no power for weeks, or a tree falls on the roof, then what? There's a lot of people feel the same way, I'm 1 as well but instead of the negative side of it being cold & so on I just have to look on the bright side of what is going on.

@2ndchances24 Yes, some things can be better or others can be worse. I compare myself with people who are relaxed and happy even during the winter.

@dya80dya that's good, people that don't make a big deal out of small potatoes are good people to compare to.

I took a few hrs nap B-4 hubby got up to tell me it's 8 am to take my meds & CRAPOLA it was COLD, I had to get my hands warmed up to take my sugar test, that took about 20 mins. It was 50 degrees in here, by that time, & we had to change out 2 heaters to get the heat back up in here, the cabin is in the 60's.
