Where is everyone this morning..the thread is awfully quiet. It is nasty outside..its snowing like crazy and sticking to the ground. The winds are howling and blowing really hard. Already had 2 power hiccups,,and a huge crash outside..I found a big branch from the black walnut tree in the side yard,,the branch hit the top of the front porch and landed down at the end of the yard by the steps going down to the street..that's a long distance for a heavy branch, so the winds have to be really blowing. Stay safe if you are in it's path..more later if we don't lose power..Mr L says he's already cold..but the furnace is going and set at 73. At least we have wood for the woodstove in the cellar if we need to use it!
Sorry; went to Target, then brunch at First Watch, and a quick stop at Publix. Came home, and fighting naps. It's beautiful out; sunny and just a bit of a breeze and a nip. We're at 64 rght now, supposed to go up 2 more degrees this afternoon. It warms back up tomorrow for the week, and I have to go light a fire under the darn rental company about the a/c. Thought we had it fixed, but one of the three companies that have now played with the system (or all three, I suppose) didn't seal the freon up right or something; and after running great for one day, is back to not blowing cold air at all.

Got the last curtain rod we needed, and the last sets of curtains. Also got a shelf to attach to the glass shower wall over DH's sink, for his shaving stuff. (Our bathroom has two sinks, but separated. One is behind the door to the toilet (so if that door is open, you can't reach that sink); then next to the toilet area is the big bath, then the glass and tile enclosed shower, then the other sink. No space on the counters, so we needed something to put his stuff in, and it was either attach to the outside of the shower, to the mirror, or on the little medicine cabinet mirror door.) Picked up some food at Publix (natch). Had my usual lemon ricotta pancakes with extra lemon curd and sub blueberries for the strawberries at brunch.
I ordered a small Chewy order yesterday; it came today. (Two boxes of mixed Friskies cat food; a set of 2 scratch rounds for the cats ball chase toy, and a couple of scratcher boxes, as the ones out are about done.) I have 2 big bags of dry food (that I got in the last 2 months, when I was able to find it), but I'm going to switch them, when it's gone in about 4 months, to the kind I picked up when I couldn't find the 1st kind that they liked; apparently they really like the new kind better, as they go through three bowls of it a day, as opposed to about two bowls of the older stuff. Hopefully I'll be able to find the new stuff when the old is gone! They have enough wet cat food for 3 months, as I've been stocking up when I can find it.
I think I'm giving in to the nap calling my name. When DH gets up from his, he's putting up the new curtains in my office area (the ones we just picked up); then we are going to install the bookshelves in the back, so I can finish unpacking back there next week. I also need to work in the garage next week, now that my back is better.
Have a good day!
