What's everybody doing today?

Time with family this morning. Quiet afternoon, mostly, cousin called needing tinctures. She had a nasty flu bug. I needed to print new bottle labels, had to organize my templates. But, got herbs bottled, labeled and took them over. When I got home I did a complete computer sys backup while watching christmas classics on tv. More tv tonight...

So actually that meal cost you guys $40. It does look good though.

It was very good. And since it was a buffet, I got a LOT of food. They charge about $24 for the buffet plus tip on Thanksgiving. That one was better but the employees worked hard today, so we wanted to make them happy.

We just got home from town with a load of lumber. Got it put away in the barn and covered up. It looks like we have snow coming tonight. The wind is picking up some and the clouds are getting dark. They're calling for up to 2 feet of snow tonight and tomorrow, and snow predicted everyday for 2 weeks.

Interesting that some place like that was open on Christmas day.

They weren't open today. They tried to deliver the lumber yesterday but couldn't make it up our road. I told the driver to just drop it off in town and I'd get it today.

supposed to pick up another hay bale today, plus I need to go get an xray on my foot and shopping, busy day I wished it was done...
But first animal care. We left them out last night, because it was not supposed to freeze, now it is in the high 20s anyway. But they all have at least some sort of shelter and the goats can go in the barn anytime

If the weather is bad I'm staying home! I'm going to my regular today job on Sunday too. One of my regular little ladies, was going to take down her Christmas decorations today and clean her house on Sunday after I clean my building. Think I'll be doing it all on Sunday!! Storms and more heavy rain are on the way this morning!!

He's lurking, I sent him a PM,

Frodo's away as well.

Not doing much today- heads still stuffed up. A few light chores like putting away food received in hampers. Husband made pancakes for daughters birthday breakfast- we all got her a banjo. Lovely day yesterday with family; though I can't help feeling there will be a few people not with us next year. Fantastic to see my brother after two years though! A day of reading and tv ahead.

This morning, I will walk first.
Clean baths.
Take DH to MRI on brain at hospital.
Walmart for a few things for tomorrow's dinner.
Also car dealership to see if they have any older Chargers or to start looking for one.
And home!

Back to work today.
I forget who said they had a bird in the house…
Making the house as dark as possible by turning off lights and covering windows leaving one door open, usually will coax a bird to fly out. Have done it at home, at work.

Will get the house kinda picked up today...we had a big feast yesterday, cousins came. First Christmas son's gf has participated in, she said she's always heard about traditional ones and she enjoyed it. Was raised slightly Jewish...dad was, mom was a convert, but dad passed away. So that was all fun. No need to cook for awhile, fridge is packed. Plan to go into town for a bit after lunch, and also visit with my favorite cousin and her family. Son and gf leave on the 3 am train. Everyone is sleeping in, except husband and the dog and I. I don't expect movement from upstairs for at least a couple of hours.

Definitely staying home, heavy rain and tiny hail happening!

Today, we are planning what to plant next year and working on the budget for our Homestead. After that, I will install a CB radio in my wife's car. Sometimes, cell phone reception is terrible when she travels so that she can contact me at our base station.

When I had my bronco restored, I kept the CB in it. We don’t even have a home station but I figure if something happens, it’s one more option.

Need to clean up house a bit. Will probably get tree undecorated and out. Have gingerbread houses with niece and family this afternoon. Some work (computer and phone) to attend to.
Crazy wind and rain during the night so woke up a few times . For some reason, not hungry for breakfast . Hubby went into the shop for a few hours. Will make a cup of tea and enjoy the quiet before going to be with little ones.

Got a lot of snow overnight. When we go out to feed this morning I'll take the walk behind snowblower out and clear the paths between the house, barn, chicken coop, and up to the generator shed. Need to check water level in the battery bank too.
It's supposed to keep snowing for the next 5 days. I'll probably wait until after the storm is over before I plow the road. I need to change oil in my Jeep and the pump house generator today too.

I never really understood how to use a CB. It seemed like a truck drivers thing.

I'm off in about 1/2 hour to get more skin cancer excised on my arm. They fast tracked this one, Doc didn't like how it looked. Got the biopsy back in 24 hrs last week, scheduled me for today. Tomorrow is radiation day on my hand, 4 more sessions. Darn stuff is popping up more frequently. Use sun block kids.
