Cloudy and cool this morning. Now the sun is out and temps have risen into the mid 40’s with a breeze.

I vacuumed and dusted as best I can. I am waiting on the towels to dry. That will be about it for the day other than fixing something for dinner.

I am reading Four Funerals and Maybe a Wedding by Rhys Bowen.

19 degrees this morning. Fortunately, no wind. Partly cloudy today. A chance of rain with some type of winter mix maybe.

Today is laundry day plus little  chores  here and there.

Cold this morning when we went out. 24 degrees with 15 mph winds putting the wind chill down into the teens. The sun has finally come out but it will not get much warmer today. Maybe upper 20’s.

I went to the gym this morning. I managed 10 mins on the bike up from 5. I did 5 on the treadmill then called it a day.

On the way home I stopped by the bookstore to return a couple of books Joyce loaned me back in April. There some other volunteers there helping Joyce since she has also had some health issues. It was good to see her and some of the others after more than six months.

We had a  fair amount of icing on everything here but not enough to bring down tree limbs. It sleeted and snowed off and on between the freezing rain. All told about half an inch.

I went to the chiropractor at 11:30. I am only a short distance from the main highway so no problems getting from my road to 21. It was wet with a few icy spots here and there. Temperatures are in the upper 30’s but cloudy.

An icy mess this morning. A light glaze was on everything. As the morning progress freezing rain turned to sleet. Everything is coated. If it warms up enough this afternoon it may turn to rain and then back to frozen precipitation.

Colin was very careful going off the porch once he discovered it was slick. I stayed on the porch. The driveway looks slushy but I did not want to take a chance walking out to get the mail. So, I backed the car out the driveway, into the road and up to the mailbox. Hopefully it will all be gone by tomorrow.

We are under a winter storm warning starting tonight through tomorrow. Not sure what we will get here; snow, sleet. freezing rain? Mid 30’s today and sunny but breezy.

Chiropractor appointment this morning. Still working on the back issues. Today I plan to make up a batch of suet with the nasty weather coming.

Rain over night and this morning sometimes mixed with sleet. The sun is out but the high for the day was this morning at 41. Temps drop the rest of the day down into the mid 20’s and windy with 18 to 25 mph gusts.

I went to the gym this morning. There were only about 7 people in there. We were all wearing masks. Spray bottles on the table to spray down the equipment before and after use. Plastic shields separate the treadmills and stair step machines. Recumbent bikes were about 12 feet apart.

I did five minutes on the bike and treadmill each and walked the track a couple of laps. From there I made a quick grocery store stop then home.

I am reading A Plain Vanilla Murder by Susan Wittig Albert.

Mid 50’s with sunshine with a slight breeze.

I did my first real house cleaning chores today for the first time in months. With the back still causing limited mobility I vacuumed a couple of rooms, took a break, etc., cleaned the upstairs bathrooms and washed a load of towels.

Sunny and breezy with temps in the mid 50’s. Cold weather is just around the corner.

I washed a load of the clothes this morning. This afternoon I wrapped some Christmas presents and did a few small odds and ends around the house.
