Dee and PJ, how is the fire situation for this Aussie Summer?
Also if this doesn't make you grouchy could you tell me how different the Australian Accent is from the New Zealand accent? I'm watching a series "Under the Vines" with Australians and New Zealanders and trying to tease out the difference in the accent.
Okay I'm off to do a bit more yoga, find supplies to darn some socks and vacuum a bit.

.
Alpine, getting old folk in and out of cars is a challenge even without snow.
Cityboy I sympathize with what you said here: "Bekind, I was in a routine of doing calisthenics in morning for a while. It's just so hard to stick to a routine.". I'm going on a second month of upping my exercise. I do like feeling stronger and all that but I get a bit whiney that every day I have to do it again. I wish I could see it like brushing my teeth and just do it. Usually in the midst of a yoga session I'm checking how much time left. Sigh.
how is your mood right now? Are you still getting the afternoon downer times? Least what is your pain level?
Well I'm off to do more dratted yoga, check my to-do list and put a receipt away.
Onward with whatever your struggle brings you today.

^^^ Intro, sounds good. 
Looks like you may have turned the proverbial corner. The one thing I noticed after realizing my ADs had kicked in, was that the sense of overwhelming despair was gone. Still some depression, but not nearly as intense as it was.
Fed and watered the porch cats and fed the back yard cats. Prepared Billie's supper so either bro or I can feed her and take her out. Gave her some tropical fruit, some mango and papaya bites. She loves her fruit.
My MOW lunch today was really good. Baked ham, with broccoli, and bean salad. Their meals are always balanced nutrition. And they offer a good selection of different foods. One of the frozen meals I got on Tuesdays included my favorite - sweet and sour chicken. Yum. I'll have that one tonight for supper.
My weather channel has a wind chill advisory for tonight as it's only going to be 1 F and some wind. I put more catnip in the shelters today to entice them in. I'd like to have more tenants. I'd be happy if each of the five shelters had an occupant.

Intro, Pleased to hear things are smoothing out for you, very good news
least, You sound like you're getting around better these days I'm sure the strays are grateful for your shelters. I read that main animal shelter in Cinti had the heat go out on one big wing of the building and won't be repaired for a couple days. They were putting out pleases for emergency fosters till the heat was back on.
Speaking of fosters. Do any of you remember Scuba, the gorgeous chocolate lab we fostered....I think back in 2013 ish ? His family wrote me yesterday to let me know he'd passed away a few months ago, what a wonderful dog he was and how much they missed him. I remember him well....took him on a hike with another old time SR member, ( who doesn't post anymore) Lola and her doggie....it was a gorgeous day!
Mags, I feel for you thinking of a move. Mr. P and I are discussing if we should consider a move east to be nearer to Eleanor. It's quite overwhelming, especially as we moved Mom near us a couple years ago and I absolutely adore my house. Housing prices are much higher in NJ then OH, kind of depressing to see what we could afford.
Oh well, no big decisions for me tonight, just a relaxing bath and reading to Eleanor.

(((Intro)))Bro came by but I had already started feeding Billie and then took her out. So he cleaned the litter boxes for me.
It's so cold out that Billie did her business right away just so we could go back inside. 
Going grocery shopping this Saturday. Bro's going to take me when he does his own shopping.
I hope my strays are in the shelters. It's bitter cold tonight.

I watched that too
Some, if not most, accents are pretty much indistinguishable from one another - but generally Aussie sounds more nasal to me while Kiwis sound more English, more rounded.
Everyone's on fire watch Bekind, but there are none near me. Some in other states tho
I'm sorry to hear about Scuba PL.

It must be a terrible shock to be that cold when you're not used to it at all.

Going to dip below zero here tonight and that is not including with wind chill. Brrr. Pup will have to make his potty business quick tomorrow.
Well..it was very sketchy but I delivered my Mom back home safely. I just wish she would listen to my recommendations...I have only worked as an OT for 30 years. Well..right now she has no other scheduled appointments until March so I hope that will give her hill and driveway a chance to clear out.
I was hoping to get back soon enough to get in another workout in but I turn into a pumpkin by 8pm so I will just kick back and relax.

sigh... you'd think she'd be glad to have her own OT to help her.... you'd think...
I just covered Billie with her other blankie and she let out a big sigh. A big happy contented sigh. Fills me with joy to hear it.
It's only 5 F right now. I hope my kitties are in the shelters. I put in fresh catnip today to lure them in.

Intro, good to hear that you are seeing a bit of improvement. You have worked so hard this past year that I want to see you get a bit of a break. Now just better health for Least and a better mood for PJ . . . . sorry if I missed any others struggling . . . . oh yeah, facility with academics and grammar for Venuscat!
Thanks for the explanation D. Now I don't feel quite so bad that I can't hear the difference.
Snow should move in tonight and tomorrow morning but it will only be a couple of inches.

Gosh, some fine whines while I’ve been sleeping.
I left Mr. Mags at mum-in-laws for the night came home, had something to eat and crashed out! I’m ridden with guilt that he’s there and I’m not doing my bit. But it really doesn’t need both of us to be there overnight. I don’t feel confident being on my own with her at night either. If she got out of bed and fell I would struggle to help her.
Though the vertigo meds seem to be helping, Mil is still wobbly when she stands.
Hev, I didn’t explain myself very well. Holland the country is where there is a plastic recycling (into power) factory and another is going to be built near us. We did our homework on the Holland recycling plant and wasn’t favorable.
Pondy, it would be nice if you could be nearer Eleanor. Would LMP#1 ever contemplate moving over your way?
The expense of property has rocketed. We don’t want to tie all our money into a home, we need some to live on.
I had appointments at the local hospital today. Had an x ray, saw the consultant who said he’d leave me in the care of the other consultant who’s doing my wrist op. Then had a physio appointment, who discharged me until after my next surgery.
I’m having a cup of hot chocolate then gonna get my head down fir a few hours.
Love and hugs to all Whinys xxxx

Hi Magsie. hope today went well. I hope you are snug as a bug, and enjoying your hot chocolate.
Pondy, sorry to hear about Scuba. I wish they could live so much longer than they do. hope the shelter found fosters for the furbabies.
hugs all round.
