I AM Not Complaining!

My poor postman came by bundled up to the max but he wouldn't come in for hot chocolate. I guess the poor man just wants to get it over with. It has been snowing off and
on all day. In fact, life is so boring that I have even
started working on taxes. I don't have my social security
statement yet but I like to get it out of the way. I have been having my taxes witheld from teacher retirement but the
IRS has made another insane rule and they can no longer dedduct it unless it pays more than mine does.

Ted is catching a cold and won't gargle or take anything for
it. Rex is being driven mad by the tractor trying to scrape
off the private school's parking lot. He is probably bored too.

I got a bad bunch of library books and movies. The movies were too worn out to play even after we cleaned them off.

Bobby had to work today and we haven't heard whether he got
there or not. He has been gone about an hour. I worry.
Linda lives in Tulsa and it is a lot worse but she has
the luxury of being able to stay home until it is safe.

More snow and more ice is on the way but we didn't plan to
go anywhere, anyway.

Last year was worse for my area -- this year not too bad. Sorry for all the snow problems. I love snow, but there's a limit. But when I'm forced to stay in, I go with the flow. Love having an excuse not to do stuff.

I want to get out today because Rex is out of chicken and we are low on
milk but Ted has to drive. I have plenty to do if we stay home.

I always get cabin fever when the weather keeps me in like that. Not that I would necessarily go anywhere, but the idea was that I could if I wanted to. Hugs to all of you all.

We need hugs but the sun is out today and perhaps the grocery stores can
restock. I 35 has been closed. I have been thinking of Ruth and how she
must feel all cooped up.

Yes, the weather in central and north-eastern USA has filled the news even down here. Wow! So glad I don't live up there! Saw photos of the snow in Connecticut- sidewalks walled with six foot snow banks nd roofs collapsing from the weight of the ice and snow. So glad to be in Florida this winter!

Yes, I read Jondude and Fredo's posts and it could be much worse.

I know what you are going through and feeling like - I got so sick of the sight of it. You 'do' get 'stir crazy'. Six weeks, we had it for - even if it wasn't snowing, the ice and the roads made it so difficult, to get around. By the time we had a total thaw, it was sooo unusual to look out of the door and see the 'ground'- hard to believe, but true.
Just remember, it is SPRING next month 'YaY'

I can't wait. I am a summer person. I can get out in the heat if I have
a lot of bug spray.

Ugs this weather!!! I am glad you don't have to go anywhere. I am also a worrier! You are so sweet to invite the postman in. I love it.

A lot of places don't have mail service. He is a sweetheart for going on
with it.

This has been the worst of all winters.We are so buried with snow and more coming over the weekend.Today was a calm day and took advantage and went out for a walk.I was going stir crazy being idle.This I hate.
We have so much trouble with this storm.Roof fallen through,accidents etc.
Hate it.Tell Ted to take care of himself.
Cannot afford to catch a cold.It is a demon.

It is 9:30 and Rex and Ted just got up. I hope the wind blew most of the
snow off the roof during the blizzard.
