And a belated Merry Christmas to you too. Is there any way you can cut your walk short?

No there wasn't. I also needed the bus to get to my pharmacy to get refills for both my meds. As it was I will need to go back to the pharmacy because they were short on my seizure meds. They owe me 100 of the rotten things.

Back and in. My dental appointment was cancelled due to the fact that the dentist couldn't get into the office. So mild kerfuffle there. Pharmacy was short on my seizure meds so will have to make another trip to them. It was rain mixed with snow while I was out and now that I am in the sun is out. So some of the snow will melt.

When I got back I called the office and made a new appointment for next Tuesday. Hopefully all this snow will be gone by then.

Hubby and I finally went to the dentist just for cleaning and checkup. All good there. And today, we're at the optometrist after four years to keep our prescriptions current with our declining eyesight! So that will be done for a year or two.

It is but it happens every so often. Specially when my meds run out around the end of the month. Never any problem refilling my thyroid. Just the seizure.

Hey, best of luck, BRENDA!
It's nice to see you out an about for fun stuff!

*****

I'm going to a retirement luncheon early March. Two of the people who worked for me retired recently, and a lot of the retirees ... people I worked with for 30-some years... will be there. It'll be great to see them all and catch up on the latest, collect some phone numbers and be able to stay in touch. I'm really looking forward to that.

****

Weatherwise, I left the rain gage out bc we were due for a few more showers. I'll bring it in to measure in a bit, but from my kitchen window it looks like a total of 1.5" fell over the past two days, which brings us (well, my backyard, anyway) to a total of 5.5" above normal. Consideing our average is only 14" that's quite a bit more than usual. We've been so lucky this year. The reservoirs are filling and the state has a very healthy snowpack, especially central and south which are 50%+ above normal. If we had another couple of years like this, our groundwater situation would improve too.

The storm hasn't completely left, it's still cloudy and it usually takes a day or two after rain for clouds to be clear of the mountaintops, but when that happens I expect them to be dazling white. Picture-book pretty. Maybe next year I'll be in good enough shape to ski.

It will be a fun afternoon SIG but I got a couple of errands to run before hand.

That will be nice for you. Always good to catch up with people you haven't seen in years. At least one of the ladies in my mah jong group on Thursday morning does that fairly regularly too. Meet up with people she worked with.

Rain or whatever suppose to come back this evening and then into tomorrow for my area.

Out for my walk and couple of errands before my game. Here's hoping I have some luck.
