    I went to Zumba yesterday & today.....also yoga tonight. I've been fighting a cold too, Wonderland. I need to get back to 100% because Friday we leave for a week in Arizona.

    Snow day tomorrow!!! My school district sent a text at 6:31pm announcing snow day - most of the metro area is closed tomorrow. Forecast is for up to a foot or more snow for the Denver metro area. Heavy wet snow. So far we've only have about 2" (at my house) but it's supposed to snow all night and into tomorrow morning. Weather forecasters have not changed their predictions for snow except to increase the amount! If weather is bad Thursday, my district will go to remote learning and remote work :( Can sleep in tomorrow (if my body will do it) till 6 or 6:30. I'm generally up before 5am and that is after waking up once or twice during the night, often at 4 am then going back to sleep for a bit.

    Official snow total for Denver - at DIA 9+ inches, downtown 6+ inches. Back to work today after a snow day. This was the biggest January snow storm in 31 years. January is often cold but not too much snow. The eastern plains got hammered and I-70 East of the city was closed down due to a major car wreck - 9 semis and 6 cars!!! At 6:00 am its 12F.

    It should be fun navigating the sidewalks with the boot. I'm leaving early so I can get a spot in the parking garage across the street from our admin building where I will work today, since I'm not in a school till end of the month. I parked there Tuesday and it took me 15 minutes to find my car as I couldn't remember where I parked!!! It's a weird layout, so I think I was going in circles. Better pay closer attention today.

    Ruth - how do you manage to always get someone to take your group photos? They are always so good. When do you leave for AZ?

    Have a great Thursday. Stay safe and warm

    Karen, if we are walking someplace where there are other people around, we force an innocent bystander to take the picture. I have a little fold-able tripod you can attach your phone to when we are walking outside & nobody else is around. I am happy to say that your storm went south of us, so we dodged that bullet.

    We leave for Arizona tomorrow! I haven't packed a thing yet. I just threw in aAload of clothes & polished my fingernails. Once they're dry, I need to get organized. If all is in place by 5:30, I will go to Dance2fit. If not, oh well, I'm on vacation!

    Safe travels Ruth! I was just wondering when your annual jaunt to Arizona would be Smile be safe, have fun, soak in the warmth!

    We are in the first week of school, so no breaks for me until Spring Break the week of St Patrick's. Yesterday went to Tai Chi, today to a pilates/yoga fusion.

    Didn't get home from school and after-school activities yesterday until almost 9pm, yikes dragging today...the Jewish Temple at the top of my street was under a suspicious package lock down...read this as the bomb squad from a neighboring town had to come and evaluate...so no entrance to the street I live on. All was okay, just a mis-delivered amazon package, but it always pulls me that both the Temple and the AME church have to hold services with a police car out front...ugh.TT

    It's a sad, scary world right now, that is for sure.

    It's going to be rather 'cool' in Arizona. I might have to bring what I'd consider to be a fall jacket, sweatshirts & jeans!

    Karen: Stay safe walking with your boot. I'm sure it's not easy.

    TT: With so much hatred in the world I bet the package really scared them.

    Ruth: Have fun in Arizona!

    Meeting a friend tomorrow for our walk.

    We did have a smooth travel day (whew), just got back from a long walk. So nice to be outdoors with just a sweatshirt on!

    Took a long walk around our friends village this morning. It was 38 degrees, so almost felt like home (in a bad way!).

    Ruth - 38 is down right frigid for AZ - but surely warmer than ND. Cold, colder and colder here - by the week-end on in the teens for a high - some snow but more for mountains than for Denver

    Everyone stay safe and stay warm

    Happy Tuesday

    it was 32 this morning. I think I picked the wrong week to come here. It's in the 30s in North Dakota this week and all the cold air arrives about the time we get back. GRRRR! Lots of good outside walking here, no ice or snow, and oranges right off the trees; so it's still a nice break.

    Wonder - the coffee pot matches your shirt. Do you have a design in mind for the coffee pot? Great news on the mammo. My last mammogram was 17 years ago this week as no need for one since I had a bilateral.

    I got my new hearing aids this afternoon. Wow - they are so much better than my previous pair which were 5+ years old. More powerful and I have an ear mold for my bad ear. Plus they sync with my iPhone so all calls go through my hearing aids so I can hear pretty well on the phone. I just ordered new headphones to use on the computer when I'm in zoom meetings. I can't wear ear buds due to the HAs. My DS helped me find a decent pair. I had a pair of BEATS that I lost this past summer.

    Two week follow up with Podiatrist tomorrow afternoon. The boot is a real pain (no pun intended) as I have to take it off to drive then put it back on to go into the house, work or a store. I'm not good about wearing it in the house.

    Sweet dreams

    Wonder, he told me 6 weeks with the boot so have another 4 weeks. This is just a 2 week follow up. You are so multi-talented.

    This afternoon, 17 years ago, the nightmare began. When I had my annual mammo, they were so matter of fact when they said that they need another view as they couldnt see everything (or something similar). They did not raise any alarm in me, those it was the first time it happened. I was getting ready to leave work and see a message from where I had my annual mammogram 3 days earlier - I knew it could not be good news. I was told that they saw something on the mammogram and I needed a spot compression mammogram and if they "couldn't squeeze it out", then ultrasound.This was a Thursday - the following Monday the spot compression and ultrasound and they wouldn't let me leave before they scheduled the biopsy. It was a whirlwind of tests - biopsy on 02/02 and heard the horrid words on 02/03. At the biopsy, the doctor said "you'll have to tell your daughter (she had just left for second semester), so I knew. 02/02 is considered date of diagnosis. So from call back to Dx was one week. This year, the dates are the same dates of the week as 2006. It's always a hard week. But wow - 17 years in one week!!! I'm so grateful.

    Have a great Thursday.

    That is so cute, Wonderland!

    Glad you are 17 years out! I am February too but one year behind you.

    Doing lots of walking. It's been sweatshirt weather all week in Arizona, but a lot nicer than what we'll return to when we fly back tomorrow. Hope we can get all the way home; apparently it's snowing like crazy!

    Karen, I am so glad you are 17 years out! I'm February too but one year behind you. It is good to be alive!

    I've been walking, walking, walking. It's been sweatshirt weather all week here in Arizona. Cool for here but much nicer than what I'll go home to. We fly back tomorrow....I guess it's snowing like crazy today....boo.

    Karen: You knew as soon as the doctor said, "you'll have to tell your daughter." Anniversary dates can bring back bad memories. But like you wrote, so grateful that you were diagnosed and able to be treated!

    Ruth: Love sweatshirt weather. Safe travel day tomorrow and sorry about the snow back home. Many people here are wishing for one good snow. So far it's only been rainy days.

    My teeth cleaning was uneventful. Walked/ran this afternoon.

    We made it safely home, where it is very cold! I've been unpacking, going through mail etc. ever since. We got a pizza for supper as I left the cupboard pretty bare. A grocery run is on the schedule for tomorrow!

    -10F this morning, record low tied with same date in 1985. Windchill this morning was -22F. Currently its 0F. Thankfully its warming up to the 40s by the end of the week, then cooling back down to the 30s. Hopefully we are done with the bitter cold for 2023.

    Ruth - stay warm and everyone stay safe

    I am freezing just reading your temperatures, Karen and Ruth! Watched the nightly news and all the ice that's forming in several states is scary.

    Had my annual physical today. I really like my doctor. He said, "I've seen many feet and you have great feet!" I'll take any compliment I can lol. All my walking pays off in lots of different ways!

    Walked/ran after my appointment. (I hate to say, but it was 64 degrees.) We are expecting rain, rain, and more rain for the next 3 days.

    Love your WWW picture, Ruth!

    A dreary day today. I'm dreaming of Spring also.

    Got some things done I've been putting off. Walked in the house.
