Well the storm found us. It is hard to tell how much snow we had gotten due to the wind. I would guess 4 -6 inches. It has finally quit snowing and now it is going to drop below zero overnight. It is not fit for man or beast outside.
No plans to leave the house until Thursday. Tomorrow we aren’t to get more snow but the temperatures are going to stay in the single digits and below. The dogs have been using their pens to do their business as it is too dangerous for us to walk them.
Sometime tomorrow I will go out and clean off my car so it will take less time to hit the road Thursday morning. At least this snow storm we didn’t get ice before the snow came so it should clean up easier.
The kid that shoveled me out last time contacted me and asked if I wanted him to come today and dig me out. I told him maybe tomorrow. I couldn’t see having him clear the snow with the wind blowing so hard. Not sure it would have stayed cleared out. We shall see tomorrow if I need him to come.
I made cheesy potato soup for dinner. It was a good day to have warm soup. I love leftover potato soup so I will enjoy it for the next two or three days.
No plans for tomorrow except to stay inside and stay warm. Not feeling very motivated to do much so I will enjoy staying home and do nothing.
Thursday morning I will go to Emporia and do taxes and then drive to KC to spend the night. I am having dinner with Nicole and Geoff and then Friday I will do the last activity to wrap up the exercise program. If I have the energy I will stop at Costco afterwards but may not be able to. This is the mental acuity test and it will wipe me out.
No plans for the weekend except to recover from the trip to KC. Next week I only have tax duty on Tuesday and Thursday so it will be a relatively quiet week.
I haven’t read the news today. I am giving myself a break from all of it. I need to use this time to make sure I am completely full inside again. I feel like completing the exercise program is freeing me up for something new to come in. I want to be mentally in a good space to accept something else to come in. Practicing good self care sometimes means shutting out the outside world.
Grateful I could stay home today snug and warm, grateful for do nothing days, and grateful for warm homemade potato soup on a cold day.
