A little warmer this morning, 34 but still windy. Mid 40’s this afternoon.

My friend Donna who lives here; stopped by this afternoon for a visit. She has helped me with Colin off and on this past year. She has a really nice place with goats, bunnies, and ducks about a mile from me as the crow flies.

Cold this morning with a temperature of 21 and felt like 9. It’s warmed up to a balmy 30 but the winds are still blowing. We had more snow showers yesterday afternoon but nothing stayed on the ground.

Not much going on today. It’s quiet without and home health folks coming in everyday. I am puttering around the house doing a few things at a time as I can.

36 degrees with snow showers when we went out this morning. The sun is out now. Temperatures in the upper 30’s today with the winds picking up this afternoon back to our 40 mph gusts.

I am being discharged from the other home health services today, OT and nursing.

29 degrees, sunny, and calm with a heavy frost when we went out this morning. It’s warmed up into the mid 40’s this afternoon.

I washed a load of towels and worked on some stuff at my desk. I gave one of my three house  plants needed to be trimmed back now that it has finished blooming. Otherwise, not much else going on.

34 degrees feels like 25 when we went out this morning. Cloudy and windy with a high in the low 40’s maybe with 40 to 50 mph wind gusts.

Took my first shower by myself and went to the grocery store for the first time in months.  Back is still not good. I do a few things then go sit down.

I am doing a load of laundry this afternoon.

26 degrees this morning and sunny but mild. It warmed up into the upper 40’s.

Another trip down to Winston today for a follow up appointment with my orthopedic. All is well. He will see me in 6 weeks. It was at least another nice day to drive up and down the mountain.

24 degrees, sunny and windy this morning when we out.

Today I drove myself to Winston for the first time in about 8 months. I met Al at Bed Bath and Beyond to help me pick up something I was not sure I could handle by myself, stopped at Wal-Mart on the grocery side to pick a couple of things, then went on to my haircut.

Even though back is still not good it was great to get out and do stuff on my own. I need to try to get some semblance of normality back.

24 degrees with gusting winds make it feel like the teens when we went out this morning. Snow showers off and on all day but nothing is sticking except on the deck and the natural areas. High today 29 with gusty winds and snow showers.

PT and OT today. Back still giving me a fit. Chiropractor took x-rays and did not see much. It may all be a result of the infection.
