I got a surprise when I tried to check the forecast in the morning. I am still running Windows7 and more and more things aren’t working well. The latest has been The Weather Channel. I’ve had a hard time getting pages to open. But this morning when I clicked the Hourly button it opened right up.
I started reading down the temps and couldn’t believe what I saw. So I took a screenshot, because the forecast can change abruptly around here. Then I went over to the iPad to double check. The Weather Channel still works properly on that. It was quite different!
It seems what I had gotten was the weather for Texas the first time, who knows why. So I deleted and reloaded The Weather Channel on the computer and it seems to be working, for now…
So I got my post up and a shower and got ready for exercise class. Another woman was to pick me up at 9:15AM. I had about ½ hour before she came so I started putting away the 2 dozen Christmas movie DVDs that had been piled on the couch.
When it got to be 9:20AM I called her but she had left, and forgotten to pick me up, so no exercise class on Wednesday. So I went back to the DVDs. There were also about 2 dozen other movies piled there too, plus I had another 15+ that had landed on a shelf but not where they belonged. So I spent about an hour getting them all put away where they belonged.
I saw the black squirrel again on Tuesday, running across the yard to the trees by the office. We see him off and on, usually around the front pasture. But on Wednesday he had found the feeder droppings and hung around long enough for me to get a photo.
I had heard that gray squirrels didn’t much like black ones, but all of these were getting along fine.
I had start a new med that morning and it was probably good I didn’t go to class because it hit me hard, very sleepy from it. I ended up on the couch with Doc Martin playing. I slept off and on until 4PM.
I, of course, had assistance. When I woke at 4PM I was feeling better and got the stoves going and shades pulled after that. Thank goodness the warm temps had arrived as the stoves had gone out. I got the birds fed and went up for the mail.
I spent the rest of the evening on the couch watching Doc Martin with help.
On Thursday I am hoping I will not have the same effect from the meds, but I’m not expecting much different. It’s certainly not what I need from any med.
I need to clean up the kitchen, finish the laundry, work on the transcription, and I have my #4 helper coming at 1:30PM and we are going to do the last batch of chicken stock. So I’d best do all the figuring of amounts before I take the meds…
