Good afternoon everyone and especially Lyn and Angie,

Yesterday it was rain, rain and more rain and today I wake up and think oh it's much better but soon after I arrive at the shop I noticed snow from the west and sun in the east! Talk about strange!

Woweee!!! Mr Fre can take Cathie sledging in the snow!!!!
Maybe 😏 but he's worse than me about being cold. He might run out the door, do a quick run around in the snow and then run right back in too.😏 he's prissy about his hair. He can't stand to be dirty or wet.😊

I was in recovery all day today. My shoulders hurt so bad from pulling heavy wire and I'm still achy so a good day to rest.
This afternoon I cajoled Kerry into driving to Delaware to go to Lowe's to get what I need to wrap up my project. BRILLIANT MOVE, at 5:15pm we were in the main aisle in the store and from one end of the store to the other there was NOBODY there! Got our stuff....now i can't sleep. 😆 dang.
I'm glad you got your stuff but take a rest. Even if you can't sleep. Spending a bit of time just thinking through a project first is the best first step.😊

Thanks MS Cathie, that's very good advice. I cheated lastnight and took a Visteril and zonked out for 7-8 hrs. I didn't wake till almost 7 this morning. I am not trying to do 240volt wiring today while still foggy from the pill but i can finish insulating the tub. Like this....its a process, like Tetris

Like the blue painters tape? Nice touch right? Once insulated i will reinstall the foil reflecting shield.

Good evening everyone!

Lyn we had a few snowflakes today but despite this I found Easter Eggs in Sainsbury's!

We had a little snow but it didn't stick. It was quite icey though. We've had a lot of rain this weekend and I think more is expected through the week.
As soon as the Xmas stock was off the shelves the Valentin cards/gifts and Easter eggs appeared and holiday ads have been on since before Xmas. It's no wonder the years seem to fly by now.

Evening/ afternoon all.
It's pretty wet here but a bit warmer than it has been.
I've had x busy week but nothing special.

My car is now making a whining sound which according to Google could be anything from low fluid levels or a belt to something more serious - just when I was saying it was running well again. I've checked and topped up all the fluid levels and that hasn't made any difference so looks like a bit more business for my garage 🙄
I have an appointment with the eye hospital tomorrow so that they can monitor my occular hypertension and make sure it hasn't progressed to glaucoma so 🤞for that.
I hope everyone has had a good weekend and getting back into the post Xmas routines. TTFN

Yes Kerry took down the outdoor decorations a couple days ago and the tree today.
I finished the insulation and drilled a hole through the tub and the deck and we pulled the wire through. Whew! I'll connect it inside the tub tomorrow then set the gfi disconnect. Im not really that talented N, just had good teachers who taught me that reading is how to learn how to do new stuff! It always amazes me how little we know about a new subject till we delve into it.

Today i learned that my 1hp drill exceeds the strength of my 1/4hp wrists! Yikes! I foresaw danger and had it tight to the frame but i can't hold that kind of power anymore so we use wisdom to hold the tool now!

Kerry has some homemade spaghetti coming so you'all enjoy the evening!

We got really cold today. Under 30°f. The temperature was dropping instead of warming up with the sunshine. The snow was like little tiny bits of hail instead of fluffy snowflakes. You might know it .The only day I had to go out to shop as usual. Mother nature hates me for some reason 😏😁

I think that cold air came here last night. It's freezing now and the next couple days won't break 45 then 30s again.
I took a day off today. Just a bit beat

Sadly, my daughter's buny Hazel passed. That was one lucky bunny with how my girl loved her.

Tomorrow is another day

Bunnys are so hard to lose. When you get them you know they have such a short life. That doesn't make it any easier because they have wonderful personalities. Even when they are chewing your house down you can't help but love them. They're hilarious. The only way to get over it is to get another one. I can't right now because having Mr Fre wouldn't be fair to a little bunny until he gets older. 😉 Yep tomorrow is another day 😊🐰🐰🐰
