Over 2 inches of rain last night from dinner time to around 11 pm. Lots of thunder and lightening as well with gusty winds. This morning gusty winds continued until early this afternoon. It warmed up from the upper to 30’s to the low 50’s this afternoon with lots of sunshine.

Half price paperback sale at the store. We were busy almost all day with only a couple of slow periods. Broke the $150.00 ceiling making it a very profitable day.

A yucky weather day. Pea soup fog this morning when I left for the bookstore with light rain.

The fog cleared up mid-morning through the rain continue heavy at times. Then the fog rolled back in late this afternoon. Temperatures are in the low 40’s with light drizzle. I’ve had almost an inch of rain here. We are under another wind warning for tonight with 60 mph plus gusts forecast.

The store was busy this morning. We had made a little over $40. Then we had another busy spell including a big buy from one of our monthly regular customers that put us over the $100.00 ceiling. So, a great day despite the weather.

Cloudy today with temperatures in the mid 50’s. Light rain fell over night with more moving back in tonight and the winds picking back up. Saw some robins in the yard this afternoon. They may be arriving a bit early but we will see.

I went to the gym this morning then stopped by the library to pick up and return books.

This afternoon I’ve spent time here at the computer getting my banking stuff organized. I keep my bank register on a spreadsheet to make it easier to balance and track payments. Having to start a new account I created a new spreadsheet to simplify the transition. I labeled the old spreadsheet 2023A and the new one B. The old account cannot be closed out until my retirement deposits have switched over but all my checks have cleared.

That done, I wrote first of the month checks on the new account and paid the one bill I always do by phone. Then ordered more books online from the library for next week and finished things up here.

Mostly sunny today with highs in the low 60’s and breezy.

Moderately busy day at the bookstore but low sales. Almost broke the $50.00 ceiling but still a good day. Mostly regulars and a few browsers who did not buy. I worked on processing donations while Joyce worked on changing the window for March.

Cloudy today with highs in the upper 40’s. Wind warning for tonight with 55 mph gusts and rain.

I went to the gym then stopped at the grocery store. Picked up the usual milk and lettuce along with a couple of things on sale. They had the bread I like as well as grated cheese and a few other things to stock up on,

Boiled the rice this afternoon for tonight’s stir fry and did a few other odds and ends in the kitchen.

Cloudy and rainy today with highs in the mid 40’s and breezy.

A busy day at the store. Quit a few out of towners along with the a good number of locals. Some out of town folks looking to see snow but saw rain off and on all day. We seem to be busier when the weather is yucky. Broke the $100.00 ceiling by just a tad; so a good day.

Mostly sunny today and breezy with temperatures in the mid 50’s. Winds gusting in the 15 to 20 mph range.

We started off pretty slow this morning at the store. Thankfully, things picked up mid-afternoon. We did not quit break the $100.00 ceiling but still had a good day.
