Wow, Brenda. That sounds great!




I put another piece of the puzzle together on the dread work I was talking about today. I'm still going to have a lot to do.

I'll probably be helping on the rental next Saturday, but maybe not with Sunday being Easter. His family is big into the holidays. May or may not help my other buddy this week with his kitchen, but that's not going to happen until I make it through this next round of terrible storms over the next 2 days. :(

I seem to have put on a few pounds. At least it's trending upward. Been between 149 and 151 lbs for 2 days now, which is up from the low of 146. But jeez... do I have to eat a lot right now. I must have put my metabolism in hyperdrive. You wouldn't believe how much I'm eating. It's almost a chore at this point.

Feeling my energy pick back up. Once I get back to about 153 I'm going to start working out about 30 minutes a day and hopefully all these new good habits stick after a few weeks.

Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.



One step at a time and I would have to deal with my nerves in order to do such a thing.

Out for my walk on another bright but most likely cold day. Temp is only 38F. Need refill for one of my meds.

That's chilly!

Had to call AAA to replace a battery this AM. We've had to jumpstart the car for a few weeks now, and the fuss was getting old. But it was a 7-year old battery so I guess we needed a new one.
Still dealing with sick people here. I was going to take the family out to see the superbloom but between illness and Easter I think that'll be later.

Here comes the rain again...

They're calling for some monster Tstorms with a chance of tornadoes again.

Might not be getting too much sleep tonight. Had a nice nap though.

It is and even in the afternoon now it is only 52F. Guess we are going for a cold Spring up here.

Don't mention the "r" word. My area is expecting that on Thursday.

Meds refilled and returned something to the library as well. Cold day again.

Yeah have you seen the news about all of those tornadoes further south? Here's hoping they avoid your area!

More news on tornadoes south of me in the last 24 hours you mean? ... Or from over the weekend?

There's a possibility we're going to miss a lot of it again tonight. It depends on which weather service you look at. They've made it a habit not to agree with each other for about 5 months now, dating back to the bomb cyclone in December.

We should have already had an inch of rain today, but it's been barely a drizzle here and there. I'm not complaining at all about that, for sure.

I'm just really getting sick of this weather. If it's not cold out, it's dark and rainy and potentially dangerous. Not a good start to spring in these parts so far.

Looks like tornadoes are probably out. Power stayed on last night.

They're saying we're going to get 1.25" of rain in the next 4 hours now though.

Yikes.
