She is going to Fort Lauderdale to see her son
She is the senior I was suppose to go cabinet shopping with but she canceled to pack which is a good thing considering all the work I ended up doing yesterday
The rain again is going north of us
woo hoo the Gh did not see his shadow so a early spring is suppose to show up
I think it is early spring in FL, heck Pattie is going to the pool!
Morning all!
Went back to sleep at about 5, after seeing all of NW Indiana is closed, I about died when I saw GM listed not too sure they close for much.
We probably have about 2 feet of snow outside and it is still snowing, the plow guy keeps coming (this is the 3rd time I have seen him since yesterday afternoon) but I have not seen any county plows they are probably trying to keep 69 open. Cassy goes into a panic mode when we go outside, there is no where but up close to the building that she won't be in deep snow and she is not happy!
Bob got a job offer yesterday from a printing company in Angola Indiana (about 23 miles north of us). He interviewed and was told that they would train him to run the press (a different type than he has ever run) and he will still have climbing and walking but no heavy lifting of drums. He is seriously considering, this is the top printing company (worldwide) and a Fortune 500 company, their benefits will make up for any lack of pay he will get during his training, so he is considering it. We have been here over 3 months so we would not have to pay his company he is currently working for any funds spent on relocation. We shall see.
I am going to have to exercise today, I am feeling heavy and like I put on 10lbs over the holiday's and my dress pants are getting tight in the middle, so Denise here we come.
What is classified as an early spring? Hope that means next week!!!!
Glad you had a fun visit Pattie.
Wonderful news for your hubby Sandy. I hope everything pans out for the best. I used to work with one of the top European printing companies several years ago. Very high speed...
The wind decided to pay us a visit. It is biting out there. Looks like the sunshine might come out again, which is always nice. Hope everyone is safe and warm.
Going to get some stuff done around the house, and hopefully do some stretching and up/down stairs.
We had sleet for over 24 hours here. It is finally snowing, just plain old regular snow. We had about a foot on the ground already when all of this started. Shadow went out exactly 2 times yesterday and I could not get her off the porch at bedtime. This morning we went out first thing (like we always do) and poor Shadow had to go so bad, she was fighting to hold the poop in until she found a spot. She stepped onto the snow and the third foot she put down broke through the ice layer. The look on her face was priceless! That seemed to be the pattern, every third foot would break through. The was trying to focus on going potty and couldn't pull it off. She finally decided that the middle of the driveway was the right spot. I couldn't bring myself to tell her she couldn't go there. Poor thing.
Once I got dressed I did bundle Shadow up in her coat & boots and we managed a short walk. We stayed on the driveway until we got to the road and we crossed to the dead end street on the other side. She pranced up the hill to say hi to the gentleman with the snow blower (being careful to stay on the parts he had already cleared), peed in the middle of the road, and then straight back home for breakfast. She is now sleeping in the middle of my bed.
I have been through an entire 25 pound bag of salt trying to keep the porch clear enough to safely get the dog out. *shakes head* It looks like it will be over in a few more hours. I am really glad the power stayed on.
Hey Evey I know the feeling, Cassy is so old she does not even want to go out in the snow but she kept trying to get to the correct spot. Last night she went on the sidewalk because it was less snow, Bob did not have the heart to tell her no either. But we always pick up after her right away so it really was not a big deal.
Still snowing and blowing here, I don't know when they expect this to be over but the likes of this I have not seen in years. Kinda nice to look outside and see all this mother nature gave to us, as long as I don't have to get out.
Finished Denise and now I have finances to do, I keep looking at the office to see if anyone is up there but no such luck. We for sure have a heating problem but with the State of Alert at one in our area the people can't get into work to help us out. I'm keeping the back of apartment closed and we are comfortable in the living area, guess that will have to do until tomorrow.
Mystic says Cats Rule! Her dainty toes are nice and dry!
Looks very nasty outside here, and of course they named this storm, like they name tragedies and things nowadays. This is the Groundhog Day Storm (or something lame like that).
I'll be back.
