Tuesday, January 26th., 2021…… The weather forecast for today is
possible snow. They say it could easily hit all of the lower elevations this
time. But likely wouldn’t be too much or too long. But I didn’t have too much
planned for today so I hung around the house most of the day and didn’t have to
worry about the weather. I got a call
from Sandie and while we were talking, it started to snow! It got so thick and heavy you couldn’t see
100 yards out. But, as soon as it hit the ground, it was water. Nothing stuck
at all. I saw later on Facebook that my friends, Paul and Alice had posted a
video and it was coming down pretty heavily there and they had a nice 4-5
inches on their car! Funny because
Dallas is around 350’ in elevation and the sign at our local airport says we
are at 340’. I got nothing and they got
several inches! Go figure! I fixed some sandwiches for dinner which fit the
bill and were fast and easy! I ended up the night watching tv until
bedtime.
Wednesday, January 27th., 2021…… After walking Rylee, I visited with my sister
for a while. She had brought Quincy over for a run with Rylee. It is still way
too wet out there for any kind of activity and more rain is on the way. After
they left, I headed out for a while. I wanted to go to Albany and hit The Home
Depot. I was looking for another DeWalt tool. This time it was a 4 ½ inch saw
which I had seen they had in stock the last time I was there. Not to be though
and they couldn’t even place an order online because they were out of stock. I ended up ordering this one on ebay. I already have an order in for a DeWalt
oscillating saw on ebay. I have a lesson learned to share also. I found a
rebuilt DeWalt Chop Saw, which retails new for over $350.00, on a website for
only $66.90. So, I ordered it via PayPal. That was a while back and it hasn’t
come yet so I looked up the website. I found it is likely a scam and they are
going for the credit card number. I’m glad I used PayPal so I’m covered. Lesson
learned – if it sounds too good to be true – it probably is!
I heated a chicken pot pie for
dinner and received a call from Frances and forgot to set the timer! She said we were on the phone an hour by then
so I knew dinner was done! Whew! Later,
I watched The Masked Dancer. They unmasked The Hammerhead. I didn’t get Vinny Guadagnino, pretty much because
I didn’t know who he was! I did get
another clue for The Sloth though. I think it is someone from Dancing With the
Stars and had thought it might be Mark Balas or Derek Hough. But the new clue
was 18. That was the only season on DWTS that Max won the trophy ball. So, now
I’m thinking it’s Maxim Chemerkovskiy. I also think the Exotic Bird is a
gymnast, maybe Simon Biles. That was a guess from one the judges but the
others, like Oscar DeLahoya and Tara Lipinski I had before they did. We’ll see
as they get eliminated.
Thursday, January 28th., 2021…… No rain and nice skies for a change (at least in the morning) so I made another trip out today, this time to the Home Depot in Corvallis. This was for sliding shelves for one of my kitchen cabinets. This would be the match to the ones I have for pots and pans, which I really like!
Turns out they didn’t have any so I have to again go online to search
for the right size. I made the last of my stuffed salmon for dinner so now I
need to go back to Costco for another tray. I will need a list before I go.
Friday, January 29th., 2021…… HAPPY BIRTHDAY RANDY! I was up early (couldn’t sleep) and
showered and dressed and had Rylee out early. The weather is nicer today with
no rain in the forecast until later tonight. I went out and picked up a
breakfast order I called in to Kevin’s and brought that and Starbucks coffee
back home and ate. A bit later, I called
and talked with Randy for a while. I had sent him birthday money via Venmo and
he said it came through with no problems. So far, I like using that to pay and
receive monies. I did write a $10.00 check (co-pay) to my acupuncturist today
but I will check to see if they use Venmo. I can only go to see Bonnie once a
month now as my insurance has changed a little this year. But that’s ok because
that works for me. I originally went there for treatment for my lack of smell,
which she’s not done much to help improve so far. I don’t always have a headache which she
works on each time so we can stretch these appointments out now, I think. I received the oscillating saw in the mail
today and went out and stuck in a battery. I like it! Can’t wait for the saw to come in! Getting
the saw made me open up my checkbook and my spreadsheet to log in everything. I
have found that I don’t balance my checkbook anymore but still find it useful
to log in all of the monies in and out in the checkbook register. My
re-occurring bills get moved over to the spreadsheet so I can use that for
tracking almost everything if need be. I
spent the rest of the day hanging around watching tv. I have been
binge-watching reruns of Friends on TBS. I always loved that show! Nascar, Formula 1, Barrett Jackson and Indy
Car are getting closer to their season openers and that excites me. Can’t wait!
