Went to bed at 9:30 and got up at 9:00. Of course didn't sleep the whole time ... muscle pain woke me many times.

No plans today other than rest. This stupid muscle pull has actually created bruising!!!
my gosh, we are all falling apart on here....
my foot hurts pretty bad again today, I think I might actually have a doctor look at it to see if anything can be done about it

so today, hiked up the mountain with Otto ( that was probably too much after other stuff) , chopped some wood , carried some wood ( too much) and figured out we need to have a budget after getting our latest bank statement . We need to live on what we have for another couple years until I get ss.

Have not heard from daughter either, her husband is finally off the ship but injured or not doing good somehow ( PTSD and some other stuff) so not good, but I don;t want to call and bother them on his first weekend back. But I really don't understand what is going on with them, it's like I am not getting the whole story. Do your kids ever do that to you if you have any?
 
Tonight it will go down to about 4f
Yesterdays ...high temp... was a balmy 6F here.... Todays high 29F.. Warm enough to be a ..hoodie over a sweater.. day.. Along with a small dusting of new snow.. High overcast, no sun today..

Out today to get a few groceries, mail, gas, and a McDonalds coffee.. Just going to hunker in tonight and tomorrow and watch ..Monster Quest.. cryptozoology marathon.. I'm not so keen on the integrity of ET type sightings, but I'm more inclined to take stock in sasquatch type incidents.. It is interesting the differences and the many similarities in sightings all across the country..
 
Went up and got a tree. There was plenty of snow and it was gorgeous. Every year we threaten to get snowshoes and never have. Kept sinking nearly waist high so got a good workout. Same for the dog. It was hilarious but he kept jumping into fresh snow rather than in our tracks 😂. Got a tree but didn’t get it put up yet because our tree stand was in the fire. Went to HD and they only have for huge trees so Hubby will make one.
While out stopped at a Christmas bazaar and ran into a gal I knew years ago so that was fun. Also saw some folks I get my tea from who recommend a winery we hadn’t been to as they were featuring their mulling spices in a hot mulled wine today. Went out and we were the only ones there. The gal was sooo nice and poured heavy on the tastings 😋. Chatted a ton and left with a couple bottles of wine. The mulled wine was good but a bit sweet for me. Hubby liked it. Home now. Skiing tomorrow.

Trying to stay up later..got a nice cozy fire..
I had plans on watching stuff..but it's nice to just have it quiet tonight except for the fire, snoring pups and rain/snow outside..
Ended a hectic week..and today was busy with home stuff then the groups months meeting.
Tomorrow I will walk my pups well..then work on a new rug.
Just some random pics I took friday..lots n lots of wood..and snow behind the mill..
