Friday Morning Brief

Green Bay, Wisconsin
February 3, 2023 6:34am CST
Good morning from frigid Green Bay, Wisconsin where the temp is -7 F (-22C) and feels like -26 F (-32C).
I don't want to go anywhere in these temperatures, but I don't have a choice. I have therapy at 9. So, I will be going out to start the car around 8:15 as I need to be there fifteen minutes early. I will hibernate when I get home.
Plans for today, work on books and notifications. Also, walk as much as I can. It should be a laid-back day once I get home from therapy this morning. I also need to fill my gas tank. I have a quarter or less than a tank of gas. It's payday, so that helps. What doesn't help is the fact I don't have my new debit card, so I will need to use my PayPal debit for everything until my new card comes in. I'll transfer the money spent from PayPal back to PayPal from my checking account.
As for getting gas, I'll go to the only full-service station this morning. It's a penny more and worth it in this frigid weather. I'll also get heat in the tank. It prevents gas-line freeze.
Tomorrow starts a heatwave for the next week. Temps will range in the 20s and 30s. So, the snow will melt. They're even talking rain. Not today. Today is frigid.
Because it's payday, I already have my bills paid, so that's a good thing.
Okay, I need to get dressed, start walking the hallway, eat, and get ready to leave. When I return, I will work on notifications and books.
How is your day shaping up? Are you at the beginning, middle, or end of your day? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I woke up early because we are having a very hot summer and I felt very thirsty. I plan to eat cold leftovers because I am not interested in any kind of hot meal. I´ll read, watch TV and mylot with iced water at my night table.

@marguicha I have two long-sleeved shirts on, and I'm finally warm enough. It's interesting the difference in the climate.

Ooh, that’s cold! I’m in Florida, escaping the cold. I’m having lunch with another myLotter today, after which I’m sure the federal government will ban such meetings. I scheduled all my bills before I left for vacation, and when I get home the new roof on my house will be mine!!!
You have a blessed day!

I'm sure you're enjoying the weather in Florida. Isn't it great to have all the bills taken care of?
I'm glad you'll have a new roof on your home by the time you get home from vacation.
Enjoy your lunch with another myLotter. What fun!
Thank you. You also have a blessed day.

Good morning...
There's still ice everywhere here. I'm not going outside for any reason. If the house burns down, I'll be sitting in the middle of the fire to stay warm.
Have a good day.

@just4him I've only used the microwave today.
You're welcome. Thank you.

@DaddyEvil Um, the microwave is good for heating your food. It doesn't keep you warm. I hope you have your thermostat on to help with that.

It's cold here too but only in the low teens with wind chill around zero. I will be in as much as I can

It's good you got out to therapy this morning but it must have been mighty cold when you left. We have sun today but it's cold (around 18 going down to 5 tonight). We have lots of wind today so that makes it even colder.
I've spent the day on and off here and chatting, doing a little crocheting and catching up on some tv shows.

Yes, it was cold this morning. -7 with a wind chill of -22. It's warmer now as the wind chill advisory ended at noon. We're in the plus category now. A huge improvement.
I'll catch up with TV soon.

Thank you. I've been outside. The car is warming up. I need to leave before it's warm, but at least it's running.

We are colder for the weekend, with highs in the low 30s. But Monday will feel more spring-like with temps near 60. No wonder everyone seems to stay sick.
I went to the bank and over to clean the church this morning. I cooked chili in the crock pot overnight so dinner was done when I got home.

Having cold temps doesn't make you sick. Just the opposite. The temps need to stay low for about two weeks to kill germs and make people healthy. If they continue to roller-coaster, yes, that makes people sick because they don't have enough time to kill the germs before becoming warmer again.
Chili in the crockpot sounds good. I'm glad you got to the bank and cleaned the church.

The back pain is better, but it will take a while before the fractures heal. Thank you. It was good.
I hope you're having a good day.
