It has finally warmed up and it is a pleasant day. I had planned to go to NC next week, but it looks like it will have several days at single digit temperatures. I sent a text to the contractor, but he hasn't responded. I will try again about 5.

I went to chair yoga and now my lower back hurts, but I did go to lunch with my social group. Not much else going on.

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honour, duty, mercy, hope.

Just sending envious vibes to all you winter wonderland folk. I mowed the lawn today…soppy-wet-glop. 50s is just wrong for January. I'll always be a midwest gal at heart. Celebrate your winter!

I suppose that every one of us hopes secretly for immortality; to leave, I mean, a name behind him which will live forever in this world, whatever he may be doing, himself, in the next.

Chris, I’ve used a wax bath once at a gf house, it felt great fur my basic arthritis. Every morning I wet a wash cloth in the hottest water I can get out of the tap, as I wring it out to wash my face, my hands enjoy it.

Minustwo, that PM has us all wondering what we had said that indicated we needed therapy!

Harley, I don’t have enough space on my phone to update to iOS26. But SO did, so he updated his phone. It changed a lot of things, like you mentioned. At times I think he has more problems now than before. He’ll be 70!so he’s no kid.

Carole, thankful you get more than 2 hours of sleep LOL! By the way, I don’t think I’ve ever had 2 hours of deep sleep since wearing the Fitbit.

Teak, that fish dinner looks delicious. ADK caught?

I made waffles for dinner tonight. I opened a new bottle of syrup, pecan flavored sugar free from Laurel, Mississippi - a visit to Ben & Erin’s general store. A flash back memory.

Just lost a long post and not sure what happened. Not going to try to repeat contents except to say that I was working in DD's closet today and made some headway into reorganizing and purging. The right side floor was cleared and this deep pocket is on the side where the long clothing items hang. It was a perfect area for the sandals shoe boxes I have so they are stored beneath the cruise/travel clothing. I did not touch the clothes on this side.

I did do the shelves area and have donations from those contents. I started on the lower hanging area on the left and am about halfway through it. I was trying on slacks and am debating about using the heavier metal hangers vs the lighter weight flock covered ones I am using. They break so easily and now that I am paring down, I think I'll use the heavier ones. I noticed some dry cleaner bags at the very back in this area and I think they are slacks I had shortened. I'll try them on and transfer them to multi-slacks hangers if they fit. They'll take up less space and I have so many heavy hangers.

The room is a mess for the moment and will be until I get this closet finished. I did 3 loads of laundry and need to go fold towels.

cindyny, I am impressed with your DIY skills. Is the door seal affected by weather and that's why you can see daylight?

Today was sunny and cold with high in the mid 30's. Tomorrow is to be in the 50's so maybe the driveway will clear.

Waving "Hi" to everybody and hope you had a great day.
