Yesterday was a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 1C. This morning it is snowing and -10C (windchill -14C). It is supposed to be snowy this morning and then flurries. The high is to get to -9C (windchill -18C).
Lifestyle
I walked 9 laps at the arena yesterday morning. Once done, I took the car to the repair shop and went with daughter-in-law to grocery shop. I returned to the repair shop and the car was ready. It has passed the inspection and is in good condition. It also had an oil change. I got home about 11:30 am.
I worked on a fun thing for son as we were having a surprise 50th birthday party for him. I got coins and made him a fun card. The front of the card represents that he was born the year we had 4' of snow fall. It was the month that Glenn Campbells song Rhinestone Cowboy was #2 on the charts.
I was over to family's about 4:45 pm for dinner. We had chicken enchiladas and they were excellent. After dinner, daughter-in-law and I went downstairs to go into the hot tub. We spent the next hour blowing up balloons and decorating the 2nd unit.
People started to arrive about 6:30 pm and the dealers for the fun casino night arrived before 7 pm. Daughter-in-law called son down to check a leak in the toilet and we surprised him. The fun began. We headed upstairs to let the two men set up the two tables for casino night and had birthday cake and presents. He got some fun gifts. After a bit of a visit, we headed downstairs to have fun.
On the way down stairs, I missed the bottom step and landed on my butt on the floor. No damage done except to my pride. Once the initial pain subsided, I was fine. Several of us watched the men and boys play and we laughed. One of the ladies and I visited and her husband was in and out of the conversations. It was a wonderful evening. I got home at 9:30 pm to put heat on my hip and take Tylenol. I slept quite well. Everyone left about an hour later as there was a snow storm coming in. We were all thankful that the snow held off until everyone got home (or near home). The forecast for several days stated it would start snowing heavily in the afternoon.
It snowed most of the night. Big dry flakes. My neighbour has shovelled his driveway, did mine, and went across the street to shovel out our neighbours so they can get out. I will see if I can shovel the deck this afternoon as it should help my sore muscles and give me some fresh air.
Today
I am going to try and clean some of the house today and see if I can shovel snow later this afternoon. I am not sure what I will get done in the sewing room today. I may try to knit tonight if I'm not too tired. I am monitoring myself today.
Until the next time...............................................................
