I was also going to say the toilet paper that is actually in the bathroom . Let's see what else... hmmm, I think I'll take the coffee maker.

TP did not even occur to me! My immediate thought was one battery from every non-emergency device (leave the fire alarm, take the tv remote) and all but one of each kind of charger…cause some chaos if 6 devices need a usb c and you only have one cord

The snow seems to be over here for the moment (though I heard we may get walloped again next weekend.) I went out today and moved the car that hadn't been used yet, cleaned up that part of the driveway, and dug out the mailbox. Decided to not to do major errands until tomorrow, though.

It’s Wednesday what are you celebrating?

 

[Summer2018]

I adore Jennifer Coolidge! Side note: Two summers ago, Kamala Harris was attending an event in Provincetown, MA while we were in North Truro, MA on vacation. It was an exciting experience because her motorcade drove by while we were on the beach. Many famous people who supported her were also there. It explained some of the unusually expensive cars we saw on our way to our resort on the Cape. My daughter was in Provincetown with her boyfriend and she saw many of these people, one of whom was Jennifer Coolidge who was sitting at the next table where she was having dinner. I, of course, missed out on all of the sightings because DH and I grilled dinner on the beach that evening.

WOO HOO is a bit of a stretch for me since I threw my back out yesterday. I’m in terrible pain. So my WOO HOO is for having lots of sick days so I can take whatever I need to heal. That’s not the case for many people, my DD being one of them.

Woohooing that I get to work from home. We have not left the house since Friday. School districts are on there 3rd or 4th day off (half of the districts were closed last friday as well) and I am guessing they will be closed the next 2 days as well. We will be -15 and -13 wind chill the next 2 days. Schools close at -15. We won't be above 20 until Monday. This is the coldest we have ever been for so long.

Here is the Trivia Question from Fox 8 News (local to here. do do one every morning)

Key West

 

[Summer2018]

Key West is my guess. We went to Disneyland in California in April 2019, and we expected Southern California to be hot. It never got over 70 degrees! We froze every time we got out of the heated pool. I can only imagine how chilly it is there right now while the rest of us are in a deep freeze.

I know our temps are warming up to the 50's, so I'll say Seattle.

Woohoo... for no particular reason, this morning I decided to try on a pair of black dress pants that have been hanging in the closet since summer. I never even tried them on because they looked kind of small and was thinking of returning them, but they fit!

Woohoo... I have next Monday off for a midday doctor appointment up in my old town. I'm planning on also getting lunch and doing a long walk on the beach. I've decided to also take PTO Friday to participate in the general strike, so that will make for a badly needed long weekend. And part of Friday will be staying off of social media, so I'm going to make it an analog day, which is kind of intriguing.

And woohoo... I got my hair cut and colored last weekend, this time I had her put in more low lights and I love it.

I thought it was LA because I know Florida is pretty cold right now.

Today is ending up not so great. I have been feeling off since last Thursday but was fine. I rested over the weekend and thought I was good. I ended up taking a half day PTO yesterday for a bad headache. I ended up sleeping for 4 hours and still went to bed by 10. I work up this morning again with a headache and now I am sick to my stomach. DH took all of yesterday off for feeling sick. I think we picked something up. I would really like to crawl back in bed and sleep more.
