Mother Nature is still playing an April Fool’s Joke on us as the weather is still icky. It looks like it might clear up yet this afternoon. I don’t like icy weather!

Broke down and took the chickens down their heat lamp last night. Their water was starting to freeze up and I didn’t want to mess with thawing it this morning.

Went into Emporia this morning as I was out of grapefruit and salad lettuce. Also needed to get some pants to wear to a funeral I am going to this afternoon. My old clothes do not fit anymore! I don’t want to buy very many new clothes as I still have over 20 pounds to lose.

Need to go feed the chickens but decided I better wait till I get home this afternoon as I have my new clothes on. I have a tendency to spill things these days and don’t have a backup set of clothes to put on if I spill something. The wind is nasty and cold right now so hopefully by the time I get home later this afternoon it will have warmed up a bit.

Had a third request for a booking through Airbnb this morning. He wants to bring his dog. I told him I had three untrained outside dogs and if he was willing to deal with that he could bring his. I haven’t heard back from him. He wanted to know how far Park City was from here. Not sure why he didn’t use Maps like I did to find out. Maybe my address doesn’t show up for him until he confirms the booking.

Kathy had a late start this morning so probably won’t be home until Wednesday. The East Coast got yet another snow storm overnight and this morning. Hope she doesn’t bring the snow home with her. Rain I want but I would prefer the cold and snow stays away until next winter.

Haven’t heard from my blog company yet. Found a back door into my blog site through WordPress. It skips the JetPack and BlueHost site. Sure wish I understood how all that works together.

Took a two day break from my Fitbit. Still haven’t decided if I like wearing it or not. I haven’t worn a watch for years. The Fitbit gives me fitness credit for knitting so I don’t get a very accurate picture each day as to how active I really am. It tries to tell me I have walked over 10,000 steps each day when I know that is not even close as I sit in my chair most of the time.

Need to put a reminder on my calendar to pay my property tax bills before I leave for Italy in May. They are due while I am gone. I hate late fees for anything as it is a waste of money but I don’t want to pay a month early either.

My restlessness from yesterday seems to be gone today. Getting out and seeing people this afternoon will be good for me. I have stayed home for the last three days and haven’t have a conversation with anyone other than FaceTime with Nicole and Ellexia. I really have to watch how much I isolate myself at it would be easy for me to go many days in a row without having much real contact with others.

Grateful for the warmer temperatures headed my way, grateful for a friend that is driving me to the funeral this afternoon, and grateful my house is toasty and warm this afternoon.
