And It Snowed

Yesterday was cloudy and ended up snowy. The high got to 1C. This morning it is cloudy and -6C. Today is supposed to be sunny and 2C. 

Lifestyle

My first job of the morning was to do the balance sheet. I started off good and then had to redo it as I had several stupid mistakes. I did much better when I did it the second time. I have spent very little money this month due to having a cold. 

Next up, I cleaned the dining room. I really worked hard on it. The floor was heavily coated with cat hair and fluff. I had an allergy attack. I pushed through and got it cleaned except for one small area that I will do today. The floor was vacuumed and mopped. It is actually shiny. 

I did go grocery shopping and got what I needed. There was safety salt so I bought 2 bags. Stores are now stocked so I will get more to start stock piling for next winter. My last stop was to the bank. 

After lunch I had a nap as I was tired. My cold is almost gone and I think my body is shutting down due to allergies. I really need to get the house cleaned up. With Elliott shedding his winter coat and the heat pump needing the filters cleaned, I am reacting to the dust floating around in the air. I feel much better when I am outside. 

I was out for dinner to celebrate grandson's birthday. We had Moroccan stew which is a sweet and savoury stew with carrots. We had bread with it. I really enjoyed it as it isn't as spicy as I had thought it would be. I was home early as it had snowed almost an inch and the roads were not looking pretty. 

I did not sew or knit yesterday as I rested. I did think about what I want to make for the craft bazaar and looked at ideas. 

Thoughts

    I put salt on the front sidewalk and did shovel some slush off it. Before I went to family's for dinner I put more on. I will put more on this morning in hopes that I can remove the ice today and tomorrow. 

    I hadn't thought about having allergy attacks until I had a good one yesterday. I am now going to have to spend a lot of time cleaning everything in this house to get the cat hair and fluff down to a minimum. I have to start doing a daily to do list so I can get the jobs done. 

    The snow that was forecasted for yesterday lasted a lot longer than anticipated. It really came down hard for a couple of hours. The temperature was warmer than we've had it and we have warm temperatures and rain coming in this week. It is going to be a mess outside. 

    I was talking to a couple at the grocery store. He kindly put the salt into my car. He and I enjoy shovelling snow and he does his neighbour's driveway for her. He was telling me that a couple of people in the area he lives in (behind me) had heart attacks while shovelling. Both are recovering he said. 

Today

I have to shovel the driveway and salt the sidewalk this morning. If I don't go to walk, I will finish cleaning the dining room, vacuum the floor and launder the living room blankets. If I walk I will try to do some of the list. In the afternoon, I will have to chip away at the ice on the sidewalk. I also have to make something for dinner. At the moment, it looks like I won't be sewing today and will probably not knit tonight. It depends on how tired I am. I am looking forward to having the snow and ice off the driveway and sidewalk so I can sew and knit. I am missing it a lot. 

Until the next time.........................................................
