Good Morning (I think)! It's still very cold here.......19 degrees is what the thermometer reads outside.

I was sleeping all nice and cozy.....after being up at 5 AM.....when I was awakened by none other than my neighbor using his leaf blower in his backyard!! Are you kidding me????? It's 19 degrees people!!!

The man is clearly obsessed with even the slightest bit of debris in his yard. We're talking twigs the size of matches and maybe a dead leaf or two.

He's stopped now but I am wide awake. Guess I'll watch Regis amd Kelly. If it wouldn't wake up my other neighbors (who are considerate) I'd get a leaf blower myself and use it at 1 AM when I'm up and he's asleep!!

Morning all Trying to wake up for the day. Not feeling too well, including brain fog, but hoping that changes once the coffee takes effect.

Take care everyone!

Morning all! Kitty, how old is your neighbor? LOL

I woke up with a sore throat today. Mom had one last week. Yeah for me!

Jenn, sorry your not feeling well.

Have a good day everyone.

I'm not sure but he looks to be in his 40's or 50's. I think he works from home because he's there all the time during the day. That or he just irritated his employer to death so they let him go or arranged for him to work from home!

Good morning! I am in my office between classes. Sun is out and the temp is supposed to be in the high 20s today; it's a heat wave. Still hoping for a break from this spasticity.

Jenn and Sandy ---

Kelly, I would try to think of some type of revenge. But that is just the way I am.

Pam - sorry to hear about your concrete ... I'm not sure why it is rising so much .. we get cold here .. and sometimes, driveways do that - but not that much ..

it's going to get into the 30s today .. and tomorrow and for about a week!! Tomorrow is going to be GREAT traveling and visiting and getting the doc in (PCP follow-up re: liver stuff) ... and stopping by my cousin that I haven't seen for over 10 years - she sent me a Christmas card that she's been trying to find me and it's not right that we are apart ...

it was life - she's married, both have jobs, has 3 grown children (2 are married), a mother and MIL .. a home out in the country .. and 6 months younger than me ... her dad and my mom were brother & sister ... our lives just took different paths .. I never married or settled down ...and now dealing with MS (she didn't know this until last saturday) ..

she keeps emailing me saying she can't wait to see me ... and now we are FB friends too ..

have a great day ...

I'm lazy, just getting moving and it's 1130am already!

Not much on my plate today. I need to tackle laundry, pay some bills, then go dig through the freezer for something to fix for lunch.

Vonn, we have this lovely() red clay soil here in the south that soaks up rain like a sponge. We had a good bit of rain this fall so it was heavily saturated before the freezing temps in Nov and Dec started. For several weeks now our temperatures have not gone above freezing, so the ground is frozen. As the top layer of the clay soil freezes it expands. To top it off, our driveway was not done properly... it should be about 4 - 6 inches thick with steel rods placed in the mix to reinforce it. Ours is only a 2 inch shell of a thing. Did not notice that when we bought. Figures the builder cut so many corners in his houses...unfortunately AL is a buyer beware state. Don't get me started on the good 'ol boys in the inspection business.

to all

Made the mistake of standing and walking around during my entire class. Last semester, I usually just sat during my classes. But this is a 41 person class so I wanted to stand. OUCH! Will be walking like Frankenstein out to my car. I guess I am just going to have to explain to this class why I cannot stand throughout the entire class. I never know what to say.

sandy, fin, barb.....feel better

Im off to girl scouts...really struggling with my hip/back...they upped the
excercises at pt yesterday and I am hurting! I hope to do nothing during
the meeting unless they really need me. there are three other leaders
for just this reason.

Tomorrow I am voluteering in my sons class for three hours and I also
need to make their "hat cake" because friday is hat day! I hate to
cancel out on them...I really love the kids in his class. I guess I will
just pay on the weekend.

Kel, debd, vonn, weav, holly, wiz, pam, moo, tricia have a great day!
hugs to everyone!
