Sick. Head and chest cold now. Not gonna do a whole lot but make some meals
Not even going to the grocery store this week. Not up for it right now.
Its only been 3 days and it feels like a week or more
Hitting this cold with everything I have in the cabinet. Just a matter of time, fluids and rest
 
we got more snow than the forecast said, but what else is new, weather pinheads are pretty useless around here
so , husband already shoveled the walkway to the woodshed to get wood , both stoves out this morning.
I forgot to mention this, but I found coal at the Tractor supply yesterday and got a bag! Our Amish cookstove can burn coal, the other stove I am not sure about so I will not put any in there.
I will try it in a little bit, want to be done with animal care and keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get too hot

Daughter sent me a photo this morning, they even got a few inches of snow in Virginia Beach

so today animal care, snow shoveling, feeding stoves, baking chocolate chip cookies
 
What a difference a day makes... Temp never got above 34 yesterday, heavy overcast skies. Sunshine this morning, already at 37 and the drip, drip of water everywhere. Low 40's this afternoon. 50's tomorrow and the next, the snow will be gone by tuesday and life will be back to normal.

Inside work continues, I want to finish the shelving today.

Going out soon to work on the new shop building. Should finish siding the west wall and start framing the east wall. This is for phase 1 of the building. Can't start on phase 2 or 3 until spring. When it's all complete the building will be 22×24. Got a lot of trees and brush to remove and level the ground when it warms up before starting on phase 2 & 3.
 
Back to work tomorrow!! Hubby has a small job today! I've been doing inside jobs until it warms up a little. Laundry and some cleaning. Going out shortly to finish Sammy's grave and get him buried and make his headstone. Need to get my cleaning supplies ready for tomorrow's jobs, bring firewood inside, feed the birds, and brush Buddy! I feel a power nap coming on first!!
