Jan 16 - 31, 2024 Baby it's Still Cold!

This cold temperature is getting tiresome!

Jan 16-Tuesday-Today was just another routine cold day! 2° at 9;00 AM. Therefore -we didn’t do much. We did eat at La Macarena.

Jan 17-Wednesday-Our big accomplishment today was to change the sheets on our bed. I fixed Pot Roast with potatoes and carrots for supper. 

Jan 18-Thursday-Today after we got around we went to Stillwater. Steve had an appointment with the primary care provider. Then we went to Walmart for our groceries and other supplies. We went to supper with Linda at La Macarena.

Jan19-Friday- Again it was cold so we stayed inside. At 2:00 PM it was only 21° but it felt like 8° with the wind chill. We ate leftovers for supper. 

Jan 20-Saturday-The highlight of today was football. We watched the Baltimore Ravens beat the Texans and then Green Bay vs. San Francisco. I made Cajun Chicken/Potato skins for supper. They were good!

Jan 21-Sunday-Steve slept poorly and I encouraged him to return to bed. Later we watched the Lions beta Tampa Bay and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Bills. I like both the Bills and the Chiefs, so it was hard for me to decide who to root for. It was freezing rain and ice this evening. We are tired of winter already. Our supper was pizza. 

Jan 22-Monday-We woke up to ICE! I cancelled my mammogram and rescheduled it for next Monday. We did get out to the Post office later. The darn OK Dept. of Public Safety cancelled Steve’s Drivers license. I had to reply to  them by email. You can not call them! I was so upset. No we have to wait or the-do that paperwork. 

Jan 23-Tuesday-Steve cleaned the bathroom and I unloaded the dishwasher and took out the trash. I also worked on the blog. Our town (Perry) had a lot of water lines break (from the past week’s cold weather) and the water tower went almost empty. So everyone who lives here was supposed to conserve water. We complied with the request. But we never did lose water here. 

Jan 24-Wednesday-Another routine day. We did listen to the Glacier Book Club over Zoom in the evening. I also made Ham & Beans with Cornbread for supper. Yum!

Jan 25-Thursday-Steve was busy cleaning some windows and high dusty places. I worked on the computer and did a few errands. Our dog Poopsie doesn’t feel good. We may be taking her to the vet. 

Jan 26-Friday-We checked the mail at the post office and Steve’s Driver’s License is re-instate. I think the paperwork crossed in the mail. We also went to Homeland and the dollar store. Steve had an appointment at the VA at 3:00 PM and we arrived at 2:57. I guess we will leave earlier next time. When we finished  we drove to Yukon and met up with Kristi and John for supper at Texas Roadhouse. Austyn and Sky joined us. 

Jan 27-Saturday-I was up with Poopsie until 2:30 AM. When we got up at 8:30, I called the vet and they said to bring her in. They have a walk in clinic on Saturday morning. They gave her some medicine and recommended crate rest for awhile (2-4 weeks). She is having some back issues or arthritis trouble. Anyway the meds helped her. And we are keeping her confined. 

Jan 28-Sunday-Today we went to Walmart early and completed that chore. Later we watched the Chiefs beat the Ravens and the 49ers beat the Lions. Now the sup bowl teams are picked.  Chiefs vs 49ers.

Jan 29-Monday-Today we did laundry. After lunch we drove to Ponca City and I had my mammogram done. We stopped at the casino in Perry but we were not lucky. It didn’t take long for us to lose our $20. 

This was the sky o our way home from Ponca City. Lovely.

Jan 30-Tuesday-We did a little more laundry. I worked on the computer. It was a pretty blah day. We had supper at La Macarena with Linda. 

Jan 31-Wednesday-We did all the routine morning things. Then I helped Steve put up the new house number over our garage door. We worked on the coin collection. We collect pennies and some quarters. It is a work in progress. Just something to do with our extra change.
