A nice day today.
I was just coming out of the bathroom this morning when the maintenance folks came in. They are taping and mudding. Not very quickly. And they were here only about 3 hours.
This afternoon I went out for errands. The sun was out for a short bit; I was surprised walking across a parking lot that the wind was so cold.
When I got back and looked at the suet feeder, it was----gone. Like missing. The squirrel must have gotten it off the shepherd's hook and taken it. There's still 3 feet of snow out there--I'll be walking around the yard and the trees when the snow melts and look for it.
A quiet night.

This morning my alarm (radio) was on for 35 minutes before I heard it. I had to consciously bring my brain to a state of wakefulness. And I chose to be happy for a new day, not frustrated that my sleep was interrupted.
I was able to do everything except eat breakfast, which I prefer to do before going in to the J.O.B. Too many mornings are too busy to count on eating. But I was able to put together a breakfast sandwich (english muffin, cheese, egg, wrapped in waxed paper) and hoped to eat fairly soon. And not in the car. With gloves on. The car hardly warms up before getting to the parking lot, when it's single digits out there.
I was able to (quickly) consume said sandwich about 0730.
We had a busy day, again, juggling rooms between discharges and admissions, scrambling for help. The day felt like a pie crust. Roll it out, piece it together, pat the seams together, shape it, crimp the edges, make it pretty, and wow the guests. Only the ones making it happen really know how it happens.
When I was able to sit down for "lunch" about 3pm, my feet were sore when I stood back up. Yikes. Don't sit down again...
Finally time to leave.
More drywall up in the back room, and tape and mud. The "wet" wall is still open to dry.

Whew!!
Busy day today--I was smart enough to mix up an "instant breakfast" (powdered drink mix) when the outlook was not-so-good for me getting time to eat food, and I was starting to get a "hungry headache". The beverage did the trick in resolving the headache.
I did have time to enjoy my "lunch" later in the afternoon. Mmmm--homemade broccoli soup. The last container of it in my freezer. And it was a remarkably good batch.
Yikes. When I got up my feet hurt. Ugh. Don't sit down again....
And I was back at it the remainder of the shift.
At home, the snow plow had come by. And the end of my driveway had been cleaned out. Hmm, this is the second time it's happened. Don't know who did it either time, but I thank them very much.
Inside, there is drywall going up on the dry walls. The wet wall is still open, and may be for a while yet. Amazing what a difference insulation and drywall makes.
Tomorrow is another work day.

Woo Hoo!!
6 inches of snow--Blown Away!!
Love the snow blower. Cleans really nice on the pavement; some areas were melting/drying by the time I got back up the driveway!
Did a little hand shoveling to finish the job, then swept off the machine and left it facing the sun to finish melting and drying. I got the lawn chair and sat up beside the house where the barely-a-breeze was blocked. The sun felt so nice on my face. I pretended I was on the beach with "other" people that I know... Ahhhh
After a half hour or so, the ocean air was a little cool, and I went inside. After I warmed up, I went back out and put the machine away.
I was fixing my supper when I heard "thumping" and "thudding" noises. I looked--the maintenance people were here shoveling off the roof. They didn't come in to see the areas that are still wet. They'll still be wet tomorrow. The floor is drying out pretty good, and the back door opens without difficulty. Yay!

Winter Weather Advisories
At least the temps were above 20 degrees today. Overcast, and the snow started again late afternoon. Yep, I'll be removing snow tomorrow.
Frank came over this afternoon for a nice visit.
I've gotten laundry done, and have another load to do tomorrow.
Stay warm.
