Lil0, I hope you didn't/don't lose power. I never knew Washington gets such high winds so often. I always thought Texas and Oklahoma were the windy places but we don't even compare with how often you get the really severe winds.
Robin, I bet Vinnie was missing the doggie friend. Does he pay much attention to the Christmas tree and decorations? I can't believe how much you're getting done in spite of your recent surgery but how nice to have a light guy, even if he's got a bum arm.
Kat, yea for your sunshine! Hope you got your studies done.
Poirot, glad you dodged the bullet on the wind and snow today. But 25*, even with clear skies, is too painful. I hope your son doesn't have any problems caused by the snow and wind. I imagine he's prepared for such inevitabilities.
Another challenging night for me. I went to bed at 11:15 and woke up at midnight with the throat cough and throat hurting because of it. Also gobs of congestion. I'll spare you the gross descriptions but now I'm thinking maybe sinus infection?? Been a long time since I've had one.
My son-in-law went off and left his C-Pap machine out in my guest house. He called me last night and asked if I could bring it to meet him halfway today. Being so exhausted and a little light headed, I wasn't sure how good an idea it was for me to do it but I told him I would. Then after not getting much sleep last night I sent him a text this morning and told him I needed to meet him at a place about 25 miles closer for me (but still around 80 miles one way). That extra 25 miles is a long 2-lane road over hills and curves in a wooded area. I don't like to make that drive even when I feel good, and I haven't been that way in about 15 years. So it was a huge relief when my niece called me and insisted she was going to take the c-pap to him. She told me to stay in and rest today. I protested some but it wasn't too hard for her to convince me. I've been washing some bedding throughout the day but haven't done anything else. It will take another day or two to get all that washed up.
