29 degrees this morning with a brisk wind. Rain moving in tonight bringing some warmer temperatures. Thankfully, it will be rain and not white stuff of any kind.

Gym and drug store for today’s activities other the usual odds and end chores around the house.

I am reading Death on the Lizard by Robin Paige.

30 degrees, sunny, and windy this morning. We may reach 40 degrees today but windy. Otherwise, not much else going on.

Warmer today with temperatures in the mid 40’s, windy, and partly cloudy. The warm temps are melting off the snow on the sidewalk, porch, and driveway.

We had a few sprinkles this morning on the way to the gym. Back still an issue. I had an appointment with the chiropractor this afternoon. He agreed with me everything he has tried has not worked. Before all this mess hit he was successfully treating me for my lower back problems.

I have an appointment next week with my neurologist. Hopefully he will have some suggestions other than surgery.

A little warmer today with highs in the mid 40’s, lots of sunshine, and calm winds. However, the snow is still hanging around on the ground.

Frances and Al left for home around mid morning. I am doing laundry and finishing up putting the last of things back where they belong.

11 degrees this morning. Mid 20’s this afternoon with lots of sunshine but the winds have picked up.

Frances and Al are helping me take down and pack away the Christmas decorations, vacuuming, and cleaning things up. Could not do it without them.

Merry Christmas. We have a white Christmas which is very rare for us in North Carolina. It started snowing last night around 9 pm. We have maybe an inch but it’s pretty. Temperatures with the wind chill are below zero today. High will be 16 degrees.

We are opening presents and eating. Lot’s of eating. Snack and finger food for lunch. Ham, mac-n-cheese, yams and rolls for dinner.

Hope you have a safe and wonderful day.

Rain, heavy at times, today. It is currently 46 with 15 to 20 mph wind gusts. The temperature by tonight will be 22 with snow showers and gusty winds. Fortunately we are getting just heavy rain before the temps drop. If not we would have had a major snow or ice event.

I had a chiropractor appointment this morning.

Frances and Al are on their way.

Sunny and breezy today with temps in the mid-40’s. Rain coming in tonight.

I went to the gym. Did some very light weight work on two machines, rode the bike, and used the sitting elliptical. From there I needed to make a quick grocery store stop for something I forget and a stop at the drugstore. In and out of the car is a workout in itself.

Not much else going on.

I am reading Dead In The Dark by Stephen Booth.

Winds were still howling this morning with gusts over 60 mph. The rafters rattle last night.

They finally calmed down this afternoon to just windy with temps in the 40’s and wind chill in the low 30’s but lots of sunshine.

I had to go into town to pick up a library book, get gas, and pick up something from Joyce.

Chilly and windy today but lots of sunshine. Wind advisory for tonight through noon tomorrow for 55 mph plus gusts.

I went to the gym this morning. Still just doing the bicycle, sitting step machine, and treadmill. I made a grocery store stop on the way home. Chiropractor appointment this afternoon.
