Winter Is Still Back

 If you've followed me for any amount of time on TWIT, you know that I like to be cool, especially in the winter,  But for the past few weeks with us being in the deep freeze here in the Ohio Valley, the cold has affected me.  After I post this I am putting another Duraflame log in the fireplace.  Just because I can. 

Winter Is Still Back

 Yesterday, the high was 28 and very windy.  We had a few minutes of some snow.  As I type this now, it's 21 and windy.  Enough already.

Winter Is Back

 The weatherazzi is calling for a "coating" of snow tonight, with highs in the low 30s tomorrow.  

I knew it was too good to be true.  

Updates From The Compound

I am very happy to report that we've been steadily getting mail since last Saturday.  And thanks to a couple of 70 degree days this week, the snow is gone. 

My back is better than it was on Sunday but it's still hurting some.  The Old Man is still dealing with sciatica pain, but thank the Lord it's not near as bad as it was the first of the week.  

Yesterday

 Yesterday was one hell of a day.  When I went to bed Saturday night, my lower back was hurting.  There was no way I could get in the bed that it didn't hurt.  When I got up yesterday morning, for a minute I thought I was going to have to use the Old Man's walker. After taking extra strength Tylenol all day and night and after sitting on the heating pad most of the day, when I woke up this morning there was no pain.  I can move around without pain.  Well, almost no pain; the darned arthritis in my knee is flaring up, but I can deal with that.

Happy Valentine's Day

 TWIT and I would like to wish you, faithful readers, a very happy Valentines Day.  Tell somebody that you love them. 

Post-Snowmageddon Mail Update

 On Saturday, we got two pieces of mail - one was a 1099 form I needed from my retirement fund and the second was an ad from Westshore Homes.  Yesterday, we got two pieces of mail - one was a form letter from Medicare for the Old Man and the second was an ad for gutter helmets.  Nothing today.
