It's here!

No more worry or conjecture about when, or how much.  We have snow, and it will be staying, even if there was freezing rain called for today.  Driving will be a little rough and slippery the next few days, but people get used to it fairly quickly.  Evidently, this is the latest "first snow" on record.

Otherwise a quiet day.  We went out and bought more socks, but had to settle for a couple of different colours.  We bought a new housecoat, Sunday.  The lightweight one I bought a few months ago is just too light, and too short for winter.  Luckily, Walmart had them on cheap.  So, a nice fluffy, long, pale blue, with a zipper new housecoat.  Then today, they were on sale in Sears and the price was too good to pass up, so another fluffy, long, with a zipper, in mauve this time.  This means that the two I've been wearing for years( yes, many years) are off to the thrift store.  They were so large, that they were no longer warm.

Some internet trouble today.  The crazy old woman tried to send an e-mail, but it just wouldn't go out, no matter how often the "send/receive" button was pushed.  So her husband got onto Shaw, and they spent almost half an hour trying to sort things out, when she realized that she had tried to send it to the wrong e-mail address.  Worked fine once she put in the right one.  Husband was calm and understanding--that's scary!

For some reason, I'm feeling stress more than I used to.  Maybe because it occurs less often now I'm retired.  The last couple of weeks have been bad, and it's been complicated by poor sleep.  An obvious increase in emotional eating, as well. So I'm entering a "be nice to me" phase.  I've bumped the diet up to phase 3, so that the temptation to eat is lessened, and no more radio music, but rather the "Solitudes" that have had a positive effect on me in the past.  We'll see how it goes.
