SHEs Organized

Last night LadyM and her family endured torrential rain, wind and power outages, today the rain is in my neighborhood. The weather service issued flash flood watches here beginning this evening. I think there's a snowstorm in the midwest moving east toward Helia, Dee and Kathryn for tomorrow.

I'm weathering the rain by hunkering down here, need to do some planning for out cabin trip and homework for the course I'm taking next month in Salt Lake City.

What do you do to "weather" the day?

We are enjoying the quiet after the storm that came through yesterday. Electricity was restored around 4:30am. I don't see any obvious damage other than small things. The swimming pool is now full of water again. I'll have to pump several hundred gallons of water out in an effort to keep the water level below the pipes to prevent the water freezing and busting them.

Today is Homeschool day on a light schedule which means we only do 2 hours.

Good news! I dared to take my fitbit out of the rice and put the battery back in and it's working again! I may need a new battery, but it even reset the time correctly. Goal is to do 8K daily for rest of the week now.

I really do need to run some errands today - Goodwill, library and shelter. (Have I mentioned that before? Only everyday. ) I took out ground turkey to make chili for supper tonight. It looks now like the worst of the rain will be afternoon and evening.

Scratching Plan A and moving on to Plan B. We have just been notified the storm took the roof off of one of the buildings used for the church's clothes closet. All those clothes will have to be determined if they are viable & moved today.

I'm trying to get dgs to play on his own. I love playing trains with him but that is mainly me playing trains and he watching me.

He needs to learn to amuse himself here. At home he has the playroom and he gets stuffed in there at loose ends until he settles down to play. Here, we have no safe space so we are in the room with him and then he wants us to play with him. Or read to him. We may go to the library after nap today. I'll see.

He slept from 9:15 to 7:15 but was up, talking to himself and the occasional "mommy come" from 1:30 to 2:30. He would keep checking to see if dh was there and then lie down again.

We made cornbread for breakfast (and an egg and he had 4 prunes so I'm expecting a productive day in that department!) There is a trail of destruction in the kitchen, combination of him plus all the dishes from yesterday. Nothing 45 minutes would solve but I don't get that. Although Daniel Tiger's Neighbourhood just started and he's mesmerized. Dh will come in and eat his breakfast here. I'll have about 20 minutes.

No news from dd yet.

Hi everyone!!

Dh and I went to Niagara Falls for 2 nights. We got there on the 25th and there were so many people! We went to the Crowne Plaza which used to be the Brock. Probably the oldest hotel in the area. It has had updates over the years, but still has the amazing chandeliers in the lobbies. (Upper and lower) I chose that hotel because dh wanted to go to the waterpark which is where Maple Leaf Village used to be before they built the first casino. The first casino is now so much smaller than it used to be. We had a room overlooking both falls. We also had a king size bed. I wanted dh to know just how big they are. He loved the size of the bed but we both agreed that our mattress at home was much nicer.

Everywhere we went had line ups. Clifton Hill was a sea of people. We walked all over the place from the time we got there on the 25th until we left this morning. I have already emptied the suitcase. Dirty laundry is in the washing machine. Dh has gone to pick up some parts for a job he has this week.

Supper tonight is spaghetti and meat sauce.

Absolutely no snow here. 30 degrees F.

it's pouring here (on and off) wish it was snow! but rain is good. Stay safe everyone in bad weather.
dd younger is supposed to fly out today so hoping the weather doesn't cause problems.
