Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 49 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is 56 but we are also expecting rain. Then tonight the low is going to crash to 26. Ugh. I hate winter!
I woke up at 5am today which is pretty normal for me in any case but not surprising with this crazy sleep schedule that I've been on over the past week. Whatever. I'm not even worrying about it. I'll nap later if I feel like I need it.
No big plans for the day. I do want to get a sourdough starter going again. I have a couple of meal prep ideas to try. Who knows what else I will get up to?
What's everyone else up to today?

The wind is terrible again today. It’s howling and keeps waking me up every time I get to sleep. It’s 10 degrees, and the wind chill is -5. I looked outside and it’s snowing and blowing so hard it’s hard to see. I hope people are careful not to have accidents, but there will be some. I’m hoping to go back to sleep but we’ll see.
So did your starter die? I know it’s often difficult to keep up with starters.

I have had several starters that I kept going for some time. At the present time, no, I don't have one to care for. It's like I'm jinxed, every time I get one going and start using it, something happens and I am suddenly not able to be home to feed it, etc. So for now, I will make yeast breads!

Nothing planned except playing with my new smartphone. I've already learned a lot; but I have a lot more to go.

I’ve had lunch, and I’ll be going home and spending two hours taking off all the layers of clothes that I had to put on after wearing shirt sleeves yesterday. 
Then more hot tea.

Our weather has been horrible since Christmas and we're supposed to get a huge drop in temperatures with gusting winds later today.
Enjoy your day whatever you wind up doing.
I'm just trying to get back into my daily routine and catch up here.

Good morning to you as well! The temperature swing sounds rough, especially with rain added into the mix. Winter at the Jersey Shore can feel extra gloomy when it’s dark and damp. Again, waking up at 5am can actually feel peaceful when you don’t fight it. It’s great that you’re giving yourself permission to nap later if needed. The mind is thus relaxed. Starting a sourdough starter again sounds like a cozy and satisfying project. Meal prep experiments are always one of the best ways to stay creative at home. Sometimes the best days are the ones without rigid plans.Wishing you a calm, productive day—whatever you decide to get up to. I hope your day unfolds smoothly

Good morning. It is 19F in my part of Missouri this morning with strong winds. Our high today is 30F. I'll be staying inside today.
I've washed dishes, taken my morning meds and eaten some breakfast.
I hope you enjoy your day.

I have picked Mondays and Fridays as my blogging days, so when they come around, that keeps me busy all afternoon. I hope you had good holidays.
