Susan in TN Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Good morning! Everything is shut down today. According to the weather app, we have gotten 20 inches of snow/precipitation in the past 6 hours. I can still see grass poking up through the snow in spots, which means we have had a whole lotta slush falling. It looks a couple inches deep in the street out front. Right now I think it's sleet. Kinda goes back and forth. I attempted to make waffles for breakfast. They weren't as good or pretty as dh's, but edible with plenty of butter and syrup. I got the turkey broth started and now I'm sifting the birdseed to get out the really big chunks that clog the birdfeeder. We'll just throw those out on the deck for the bluejays and squirrels. Coffee! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 In too much pain to go to church this morning. I have been pushing myself during the day with fasting and exercise. And do ok during the day. But at night my nerves and muscles are firing overtime. I had this happen before when I increased my walking distance. It lasted a month or so before my stupid body adjusted to the new amount. That’s what I am hoping will happen again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only take off so much when it gets that hot without feeling indecent. We have snow sledding and hot chocolate and I can hide all my extra weight under soft fluffy clothing and not look out of place.

It's 34 degrees out and I don't think the temp is supposed to fall until the moisture rolls on out of here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Did you know you can start lettuce in January in Florida? I planted seeds yesterday. My pepper plants from seeds from a neighbor’s Cuban peppers are also coming up. I’ll bring those inside as needed (like early this morning when we had tornado warnings), but right now they are super happy outside. I planted some other seeds but I don’t remember what they were at the moment. Random seeds I had leftover from my failed Covid garden. I’m still trying to get the hang of vegetable gardening in Florida. Everything I know only works in the northeast. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't supposed to get any. It started snowing at 9 on Saturday morning and snowed until 10 at night. The ground was nice and warm, as were the roads, so it didn't add up to much here. But some places north of us got over 10 inches. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) The turkey broth is still going. I took the pork shoulder roasts out of the freezer so I can cut them into chunks for the Filipino adobo. Also I made a freezer meal list and grocery supply list. That's enough for today. There are Many Things of the Emailing and Online Sort that I should be doing but lackawanna. So instead I will read and find some chocolate to nibble.

For The Judge's List, I'm 13th in line for a hard copy, and 68th in line for digital, though that is way up from where I started at 1,345th. I am also reading Christ and Calamity by Harold Senkbeil which is extremely good, particularly for where I am in life right now. I've never successfully read more than 1 book at a time, but I make myself read 1 chapter of this each day before I can read my current novel. It's working so far.

Wheres Toto Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Morning. Happy Monday. Our snow has turned completely to rain so no snow day. My one teacher is going to be out sick though so my day is going to be weirder than usual. This is the teacher who is leaving so I guess I get to try out some of the changes we're going to have to make in a few weeks anyway. After class I need to pick up ds at school. He starts his regular Spring semester class today. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Morning. Bright and sunny here and lots of melting going on. I'm rescheduling a few things today like haircuts to next month and working to hit a self-imposed revision deadline this week. Should make it. Other than that, chores, and I'm trying hard NOT to hurt my back again. It's been better this weekend because I've been careful not to do any heavy lifting. Need to keep watching out for that and hopefully it will go ahead and heal up. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Good morning! Happy MLK Jr. Day! Dd19's morning college classes were cancelled - I'm hoping her afternoon classes will be cancelled as well. Nobody wants to drive in this mess. Some of the kids have taken the pup with them to the park for sledding. I sat with ds17 during his cello practice time for a bit to help him remember what his teacher was wanting him to practice. Now I need to get turkey broth into the freezer. I think we'll probably have enough for soup for dinner tonight - I need 2 gallons for soups and 3/4 gallon for another recipe.
