For some reason I awakened at 2:00 am, unable to return to sleep for the additional hour I could get. That'll toss my day into the toilet, but there's nothing I can do about it. I did my morning meditations without feeling rushed, and now it's 90 minutes later - here I am in front of my computer, I'm dressed in my skin suit ready for swimming, and I'm writing my blog. Oy! LOL
 |
Today I'm wearing this skin suit - called "Power Skin". It's a bit more futuristic in pattern. My other two are a jellyfish one and a watery one in a green tone. I adore these suits. I wear them year-round, even though I only need their coverage when I'm swimming outdoors in the summer months. |
We're still almost without snow - such a rare thing. Yesterday's snow was so light I used a broom to clear the driveway instead of a shovel! I'm rather enjoying this because I really hate shoveling snow, and have to shovel the driveway at home and the front and back entrance areas for the shop. That can be a lot of shoveling. But I'm at bare concrete so far this year. I suspect that won't last for much longer. The weather pattern is predicted to dump on us within the next 24-48 hours. We're heading for a spring/summer drought, however, if we don't get some snow, so Snow Baby! Snow!

Yesterday's snow was so light, it seemed a bit of overkill to actually shovel the driveway. So I grabbed our big broom, and swept it clear instead - LOL. What a hoot! It actually worked pretty well. I suspect that will be a rare occurrence, we do live in the Frozen Northlands, after all, and Winter won't stay away forever. |
A quick note to my friend in Peru - I think your holiday card has been returned to me, but I have to go to the Post Office tomorrow to sign for it and pick it up. Since the majority of my holiday cards for non-US recipients seem to have gotten serious damage in shipping, I have no idea if it will be in condition to resend it, but I'll let you know.
 |
I'd like to tie up my loose ends. I have received some really wonderful holiday cards from many of you over the season, and I'd like to share before taking them down from the mantle. Thanks to all of you who have colored your cards from me and sent me photos in emails and FB posts. I've loved seeing each and every one of them. They're fabulous! |
So I'm focused on wrapping things up for 2023 and moving fully into 2024. I'd like to share the cards I've received with all of you - I'll look into doing that tomorrow if I have the time. I'll also see about collecting the Christmas Gnome colored cards I've gotten sent to me in emails and FaceBook shout-outs. These may not be as easy to share, but I LOVE the imagination that you've put into coloring my little guys. Having you send photos to me has really made my last 30 days very special.

I made a large stewpot full of chile con carne yesterday - lots of beans and a package of "Real Rice" added to it, and a jalapeno pepper and other spices. It's now in three large containers in my refrigerator. I'm looking forward to a bowl of it for dinner tonight. |
I'm wrapping this up, catching up on some computer work, and heading to the gym for my last swim of the week. I made a HUGE batch of chili con carne yesterday, and baked multi portions of baked pears. I'm set for at least a week of food now.. I was too worn out by all of that to bake my butternut squash, so I'm postponing that until Friday. It doesn't take long, but I just wasn't up to any more prep work. Chili takes over my stove and countertop areas. Have an excellent Thursday and I'll be back tomorrow. Be safe, be well, and be kind. Slava Ukraini and חיים לישראל.
