Morning Pudgy. Church was cancelled for us today. An icy sleety day here. Time to get work done and nap today. |

No snow here but it's dark and rainy and would've been a good day too sleep in. Alas, I have to do the music at church today so no sleeping in for me. |

Good morning Pudgy's Mom and Velma! How much snow did you get? Hot coffee, coming up! Cold and gray here today, a huge contrast from yesterday. Have a great day everyone! |

Good Morning, Velma- are you getting snow or rain? I'm getting snow. The heavy stuff.

Good Morning, RL, BE, and Coco- Pudgy has a groomer appointment this morning, and as of now, it has not been cancelled. I have 4 wheel drive and the main roads are plowed, so I'll probably keep it. I do need to do some grocery shopping today as well, bit I think the afternoon will be spent in front of the fire reading a book. |

Good morning, Peeps! We didn't get a lot of snow yesterday, thank goodness. The sun isn't shining bright today but neither is it snowing which is a win for the moment. No plans for this morning but, after VGpa is up, I'm going to tackle the guest room and whip it in shape for company. It *shouldn't* take too long to do. Hope you all have a great day! eta: For those of you who read my post on yesterday's daily thread, FirstSon was sent home around midnight, safe and sound. Whatever the crisis was at the prison, it is over and everyone is okay. Thanks, again, for the hugs. Edited by AquarianGrandma, Apr 15 2018, 09:21 AM.

Morning Peeps! Mr. S is doing the first pass of snow blowing. With the wind, it's hard to know how much we got. We're supposed to get another 3-5 inches and some more ice. One site said our storm total will be 12+ inches. We've been in a section that is getting the mix, so what snow we have is really wet. Mr. S was able to walk on top... Under the snow is the ice. It's a great day to stay home! I hope you all have a great Sunday!!

Well, I'm kind of relieved- Pudgy's groomer called and cancelled. I guess that means I'm huddling down on the couch and taking an actual day off! However, I'm really not looking forward to clearing this snow from the driveway.

Morning Peeps! It's very soggy this morning, though at least it stopped raining finally. It started yesterday evening, and continued until at least 5am (Her Fluffy Highness woke me to attend to her breakfast needs), but it's stopped now, so sometime in the last 5 hours. Nothing really on the schedule today, although if I think about it I might go get gas. Good luck digging yourself out, PM!

Why didn’t I go shopping yesterday? I stayed home because I felt like crap but I feel worse today and the rain is so much worse and I need groceries desperately. |

Cold and rainy here. I'm glad because if it were warm and sunny people would stay home and not come to the play. Last night's performance went well. They missed a few lines, but overall they did a great job. I'm heading back to the school around 12:30. My sister came to watch last night and she stayed overnight. We went to Perkins for breakfast. I'm stuffed. |

Everyone come to my place! I have margaritas and sunshine! I guess I should share somewhere....... I received a text from The Golden Child late yesterday afternoon that my mom had passed. (Yes, a text ‘momma died at 4:05pm’). 10 weeks shy of her 100th bday. I feel nothing but a sense of peace, relief at this point and sadness for DS who never got the grandmother TGC’s kids did. Our last visits, over 10 yrs ago, had DS cornered and told I was a mentally ill liar and my visit showed a home devoid of our existence and neighbors claiming that Mom had only 1 daughter - TGC. That should give you a hint of the relationship. A lifetime ago TGC and Mom “chose” each other and I was never in the equation, so my attempts at inclusion and grieving at the loss finally reached a point of ambivalence for me a few years ago. The final physical thread of “family” has broken. I’m not untethered, but free. |

Thanks. Poor DS. The text came as he’d just sat down to tell me of his day and the room went still. He voiced some regret at his inability ($$) to return to visit, but then said ‘she never came to visit me or ever called me’. Then he said ‘I just regret she didn’t make it to 100. I was rooting for that.’ We toasted her passing with a Hendricks martini and a Diet Coke. TGC is now at her best Grieving Daughter on Facebook apparently. She’s waited awhile to play this role. Don’t think it’s registered that they’ve now lost moms SS income. DS anticipates a divorce since TGC no longer has any funds that BIL can take. Edited by dink, Apr 15 2018, 11:10 AM.

No snow here, just gloomy! Everyone come on over for some cat snuggles and split pea soup. Currently tackling a mountain of laundry but I'm not motivated to do much else. |

Dinky, my condolences. We're iced in. Part 2 of the ice storm is still to come today. Dh parked the cars differently - in case any trees do come down hopefully they won't land on our cars. It's really shitty to have snow and ice on April 15th. |

Good morning peeps. Dinky, I'm sorry for your mother's choices regarding you and your son. It's difficult to reconcile in your mind that it was never about anything you did or didn't do, but all about the person she was. Hugs to you and DS. Weather here is partly sunny with thunder storms predicted for the afternoon. I went to early church and now need to run out for some food since DH didn't get himself together and do it earlier. After that I plan to stay home and stay dry. Enjoy your Sunday! |

((dinky)) I've been lazy today. Finally got up and showered. Now I'm eating leftover salmon for lunch before we go Pokémon hunting. Afterwards I'll make burgers and dogs for dinner with baked beans, corn on the cob and maybe red skin potato wedges. I need to do some laundry for the week. |

Dinky, I'm really sorry, but so glad that you feel relieved. You deserved a better mother; she didn't deserve the wonderful person you are in her life. Maybe a flute or two of champagne is called for; I reckon that is what I'd want, but your choice may be otherwise. Seattle is looking forward to a high of 50F & an 80% chance of rain today. I have gained back a few pounds & must take them off, plus the 25 -30 I need to lose to get down to my fighting weight. Must add more minutes to the daily walk. |

Responsbility at its Finest

We currently have over 15 inches with another 12-15 expected today. Our whole county is pretty much shut down. The drifts are easily 3-5 feet. After the plow went through, the bottom of the driveway was chest-high. It's wet and heavy. Thank goodness a friend with a plow-truck came and did the bottom of the drive way. DH and DS are still out there cleaning out the rest. I'm sure it will be done again once or twice yet today. |

Anddd we're into the freezing rain now. 70 km/hr winds and will transition into heavy rain later tonight and overnight. Flooding is a concern because catch basins are full of snow or iced over. Yuck. |

2 buildings in Green bay have now reported roof collapses. I am surprised we didn't hear more of that from the pummeling the east coast received this winter. |

Stay safe with the snow and ice Peeps. I love snow and would love to live in it but you guys have had enough for the year. We had some nasty thunderstorms and tornado warning today but it's moved off shore now. |

I'm surprised too, Velma. Mom may stay with me for another week, although it looks like central Wisconsin got hit way harder. We got around 4 inches tops here, but it's all the heavy snow mixed with rain. Roads were not good this morning, but by 2pm they were fine. It's still snowing, but much lighter. It's a good day to sit by the fireplace, so that's what we are doing. Dinky, (((hugs))) not for your mother's passing, but because you didn't have the good mother you should have had. |

We got into the 70s today, I got to hang out on the porch for a while. But the rain storms are coming. 1-3 inches of rain predicted. We have gotten so much this winter. We have had so many landslides. 2 roads near me are partially closed indefinitely. And a major road on the other side of the city simply slid down the hill onto an apartment complex. Luckily, no one was hurt, but it is a mess. |

(((Hugs))) Dinky. I believe I understand your feelings. Hope your mom is at peace. Had a great day in NYC with Bunny. We started to walk a bit around Greenwich Village, but it was so cold and nasty we didn't get too far. We went back to my car and I drove her around the island of Manhattan and we did some sight-seeing from the warmth of the car. I dropped her off at her hotel and I'm home now. Can't believe the snow some of the Peeps got! It's nasty, raining, windy right now in the SW CT corner of Peepland. We have flooding and storm warnings for tomorrow. Yikes! Have a good evening, Peeps! Take care! Stay safe! |
