Cloudy today but not as cold or windy.

I had a dentist appointment this morning to get my teeth cleaned. I always go every six months but missed my fall appointment due to my illness. When I went last March for my cleaning we had scheduled an appointment to replace a couple of old fillings. That was right when Covid went wild and they cancelled all non-emergency procedures. My illness continued so was never able to get that rescheduled either. I go back next week to get the fillings replaced.

I am reading Wed, Read, & Dead by V.M. Burns.

Cloudy and breezy today but temperatures are in the upper 40’s. A slim chance of a rain shower.

Cares came today to pick up an old cedar chest from the downstairs area. It was Bob’s moms. Bob’s dad had repainted it when they owned it and the outside had seen it’s better days. I cleaned it out after Bob died. I had one of those antique ewers and pitchers on top that also belonged to Lenore. They were broken in the earthquake.

At any rate, I don’t need it and did not have anything stored in it.

I left around noon for Winston for a haircut and to run several little errands. It was a nice day with lots of sunshine. Low 50’s down the mountain but it’s only in the upper 30’s here.

Every time I go to Winston and fight all the traffic I am glad I live up here.

Snow overnight in the 3 to 4 inch range. The sun is out but it’s cold with temps in the low 30’s and 15 to 20 mph winds blowing the snow like a sand storm.

Cleaned the bathrooms and vacuumed. Other odds and ends as I feel like it.

Not as cold, partly cloudy, and breezy. Snow starting tonight into tomorrow morning. Still lots of snow on the ground.

Today is laundry day. Maybe a few odds and ends chores.

I am reading An April Shroud by Reginald Hill.

Sunny and windy this morning. High was 39 around noon. Temperatures dropping the rest of the day and winds have picked up. We are under a winter storm watch for the weekend.

So, off to the store to pick up a few odds and ends to keep things well stocked. I was early enough to get there before it became crowded.

On the home front; bed linen change, new shower curtain and liner hung, and a few other odds and ends.

Last night we had a 2.3 earthquake a little after 11 pm and another 2.1 about 30 minutes earlier. if you live in an earthquake area I know these are not significant. But, after the 5.1 of last year I am not a big fan of any size. It shook the house but nothing fell off the walls. We had not had any tremors in about two months from the “big one”.

I went into the bookstore for a couple of hours this afternoon to sit at the desk while Pat and Joyce priced books and worked in the back annex.

50 to 60 mph wind gusts last night. Still gusting around 40 to 50 today with lots of sunshine and temps in the upper 20’s.

I did go to the gym this morning then made library and drugstore stops. Roads and parking lots all clear. It’s been a week and half since I went to the gym. No difference in the back whether I work out or not so I may as well keep at. The bike is good for the knee and I need to keep up the cardio.

Hopefully lots of sunshine today will help melt off some of this mess.

21 degrees with a wind chill in the single digits. We are under a wind advisory until tomorrow morning. 20 to 30 mph winds with 50 mph gusts. Temperatures are to stay in the 20’s and go down into the teens tonight.

Colin is not a happy camper between the high winds and walking on the frozen yard. He finally made his way over to the tree line where there is not as much snow and ice to go potty. Needless to say a nasty day.

I am reading The A List by J.A. Jance.

Chilly, windy, and cloudy today. May get more frozen precipitation this afternoon and tonight. The temperature starting falling around midday.

I managed to mop both the upstairs and downstairs bathrooms this morning. First of the month stuff to do at my desk this afternoon. Otherwise, not much else going on.
