38• right now.

 Well, the snow still has not completely melted. But I did make it to town yesterday and today. I’m so proud of myself. Today I did do a little grocery shopping. But by the time I got home I was so hungry. I fixed something to eat and all of the groceries like the canned goods are still sitting in the kitchen floor. I at least did put the cold stuff away. 

I have a load of laundry in the dryer, I need to tend to. And some kitchen towels folded from ann earlier load are sitting on the floor in front of the dryer. That’s really a good place for them isn’t it.

I just turned the TV on to deadliest catch. It’s reruns, reruns, reruns, so I can listen to it without really watching it and I think I will go in and put the food away in the kitchen. There’s not dirty dishes. They’re all in the dishwasher and it’s not full so I don’t need to unload it, but there is still that load of laundry in the dryer. It hangs over my head like a weight.

It has been sunny today and not all that cold but it’s getting down so cold at night that the snow isn’t melting quite as quickly as I would like. A week from yesterday they said it’s gonna be 9° so that ought to be really fun next week.

Fleta came by today. I made her food, when I made mine. We had fish steamed in butter and fresh cauliflower steamed in butter. It was so good and I was so hungry.

Thinking about Mackenzie making sourdough bread hasn’t helped. I would like to have some. I keep looking at the recipes online and they all look like a lot of trouble so I don’t think I’m going to do that. But I did buy bagels today so I will enjoy them.

Tomorrow is Thursday and Bill is on his new schedule for his work I believe and so he’ll be off Thursday, Friday,  and Saturday.

 Saturday,  he is having some people come over and help him and I am so thankful. I hope he gets a lot done On his building.

Oh, I did do several rows of crochet today. I am working on a blanket for Mackenzie‘s next future baby which I hope is several years off from now because I really enjoy the one she has and the one she has think she’s the bomb. I would hate for her to have to share the lime light.

I think I have figured out where I’m going to store my $15 vacuum cleaner. So far it has been stored in front of my entry to my bedroom during the day then at night I push it all over in front of the front door, but this is not a permanent solution. I don’t think. Sure would let me know if anyone come in in the middle of the night though. 

Tonight, I will not need to leave the heat on in the kitchen and in the bathroom or leave the water running either one it’s only gonna get down about freezing tonight. But it won’t last long.

I have not been able to go out my back porch because the step there is so slick. Fleta brought me rock salt up today. She said I needed to put it out there. I’ve just been going out the front door. It has worked pretty well.

Only two more days and sister Fleta will have a couple of days off. I am glad she is walking better not limping so much but you still can’t tell her anything. Her broken leg did not make her any nicer.

Well, I am going to say Fleta says she finds it pretty hard to feel sad for all the millionaires that have lost their homes. I still feel bad for them. She said she is sure they’re going to be just fine and I’m sure they are but many of them had lived in their homes for years and years and maybe even some were family homes so there was a lot of memories and pictures and things like that that you will never get back And I do have to admit that it is not like the poor floods of Kentucky and Tennessee. Those people are so so poor, but it’s just all sad to me. I am so thankful all we have to worry about is Fleta setting the place on fire. At this time with all the snow and wet I think we’re safe.
