I haven’t been in the snow for decades, and am a little concerned about that, but I want to go home. Snow or not.

Now you're right to be concerned a bit about the snow! Often times a person's car can get buried and then it's hard to locate!

Once you get there may I suggest you invest in sturdy head-wear? Those Femme foo foo head-coverings from CA won't protect worth a damn in MI weather!

Depends on the snow. Here, it doesn't melt. It refreezes because it's almost always wet and cold. Lots of black ice here. Denver, on the other hand, is a higher elevation, so it does melt very quickly. The season between 2014-2015 was a killer here. We had to bring machines in to stack the snow to get it off the ground. It was packed so tightly that some of it didn't melt until June. No joke.

We had newscasts like this the whole winter!

Don't get anything on the water! Don't want this happening.

Snow is fine if you prepare for it. Keep an emergency kit in your trunk. Buy a quality jacket and spare gloves....a nice hat that covers your ears....boots with good tread for traction....nice thick socks and maybe a pair of undergarments. Fleece-lined thermal leggings are the bomb! I would buy the basics online so you have it as you transition from sunny and warm to chilly and cloudy and then get the bulk of your gear there. Local shops are going to have the best stuff for the environment in which they exist. The good news is that you will only need to get enough stuff to run errands and walk about in the weather. You won't have to dress to work in it.

Your blood is thinner now so you'll get colder faster. It took me a couple of years to adapt from Texas to Rhode Island. A quality thick blanket on the bed makes alllll the difference. Maybe a weighted one?

On the flip side, you'll get to do this!

I think i need to start looking for a house. While I can more than handle repairs with knowledge...it's the money I'm concerned about.. Just getting out of grad school I have yet to start having to pay that bill, and I really did not want to get stuck into the loop of working two and three jobs, again.

I want to take a breather. However, tonight i fed a feral cat.. who does not look malnourished, but she rubbed against me as i stood outside smoking my cigar and i was thinking of the cats AND dogs here. I would "steal" them all. sigh

Flint, Michigan is on my mind.

Am thinking of moving to a suburb in the Flint area. Wouldn't mind spending some years in that area. Even with their water problems.

That area is far enough from family where I don't have to worry about them popping in for a visit, but close enough for most of us to drive to see each other.

Welcome to Canada. Yesterday small amount of snow and lots of high winds, today, calm and super cold, tomorrow warming up, Thurs., Fri., Sat., go to the beach in your shorts. We do more than change our minds here in the North.

It would be hard not to think about the election even if I wasn’t interested.

Am thinking about pillows because lately I’ve been waking up with a sore neck. Have tried a couple new pillows but returned them because they were too soft. I like medium-firm pillows and I think I need something softer, but not as soft as I’ve been trying out. Will keep testing till I find one I like that is affordable.

I hate to say this, as the owner of the company is a Cheetoh buttmuncher, but I had the same problem with pillows not fitting my neck and head right. I would get one and it would either not work at all right away or would be decent enough to keep but then it just wouldn't seem to work after some time. The only pillow that works for me 100% is the MyPillow. I bought it before I knew the CEO's political leanings and oleandrin pushing. I think a similar result can be garnered by cutting up foam into small pieces and stuffing a case with it. Basically, a trip to JoAnn's Fabrics should do it.

Thank you for the info, Gemme, but nope. I'm gonna keep looking.

Yes, perhaps a wise decision after all about avoiding the bears Orema!

School mostly the countdown is up now and going 😥 on thursday 12 we're starting our tests sooooooo without eating someone's brain i'll be on zombie mode 😱😅

Orema · 11-06-2020, 10:20 AM

Unexpected challenges.

I knew I had to repair the drywall in the bathroom but didn't know there was an exhaust sewer pipe that needed to be glued. The job will take a few hours longer and be costlier.

i have a stain on the laminate flooring in another room where my lazy behind didn't protect it when I should have.

The floor in that room will need replacing but I don't wanna pull up the flooring and replace it in case another surprise is waiting for me. I'll just make full disclosure and give them a buyer credit. Maybe they'll do like me and cover it with an area rug.

How about this? Just found it. I might get one myself!

Also, I can't get rid of the flavor of cilantro in my mouth. I need stronger mouthwash than Listerine. That's sayin' something.

Thank you!

Am trying another pillow now. My neck and shoulder are hurting this morning but I moved heavy furniture around a lot yesterday. Will keep testing this pillow till Monday when two more pillows are coming. If the ones coming on Monday don’t work I will move on to these. I like that I have 100 days to try it out and free US shipping. I can work with that.

Thanks for thinking of me, Gemme, and good luck with the cilantro. That would have perfect on my rice last night!

Tylenol Extra Strength is on my mind this morning.
