Difficult day, as have been in pain for most of it and meds don't seem to be making much of a difference.
I am forced to rest, which is not my nature. Hopefully tonight will bring some relief.
Hope all is well with @Natalka as haven't seen her around today.
Have a great evening everyone! Stay safe and sane!

@Skippy hope you feel better soon. I was unable to sleep much because of pain last night even with meds. (for me it's back and neck issues....think the heightened pain might be related to the mega vortex system coming next week no matter what, forced rest days suck. Hugs

@Skippy and @crafter Your pain woes are sympathized with, I hope most of your aches work their way out of the body.
Our great Leafs just came back with 2 quick goals to tie Montreal at the end of the 2nd period!!
That woke me up! I was holding the remote with the intention of flipping to CNN, depressed by the 3-1 lead the Habs had, but woo hoo for us.

We won!

Good morning @GoJays and my SC friends

[walkonby]

Yello ladies!!

has my day actually begun or am I simply choosing to stay up after a visit to the ladies room? We'll see how this develops.
Leafs won in O.T.!! Way to start the Season boys.

The smart people have their b'days in January just in case something comes along that they want and was not on their radar at Christmastime.

I want!!!

Morning gang.

Good morning!

Such a wonderful, rainy day yesterday, killing so much snow! It looks more like March out there rather than January! I hope I didn't just jinx us here, but driveways, roads clear of snow and even the grass is showing along driveways! Loving this el nina winter!

@Skippy , I hope it's a better day for you today and that you get that walk in, in comfort.

@Natalka , sure hope you all got through that windy storm yesterday, it looked brutal!

So, what's changed with our "new" covid rules in Ontario? 'Stay home? Hasn't that been in effect for a while, now?? What's essential? Another wishy-washy message. Phhht.

I'm trying a new hobby today, so staying at home is no problem for me.

Stay as safe as you all can, be well, everyone.

Good morning! I actually slept in until 9 this morning. I managed to get my flyers, only one set left at the box.

I think I'm going to make the best of things and do some "homesteading" activities. Sew a bit, bake a bit, try the kratky method. My daughter's birthday is in Feb and she's a minimalist. I want to make her something special to send her. I bought one of the pre paid postal boxes. Also adding vegan treats that I know she'll appreciate. Happy Birthday month @walkonby btw.

Question, we're supposed to stay at home but what about dropping off homemade muffins to some elderly neighbours at their front door. Permitted or not?

Have a great day!

[Natalka]

Good morning, all!

Feel a bit better today, but I know it won't last... Side effects from some of the meds I take. Not a pessimist, it just is what it is.

Worst of all is not sleeping. I am on an awful streak.

I didn't even look out at the storm yesterday. Here the winds were over 120km/hr, after and during rain and snow. Was very glad our power didn't go out!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

It's Malanka, New Year's Day, on the Julian calendar.

Lynn had already posted this song, but it's traditional on NYDay.
I absolutely love the animation!

[walkonby]

Very good news about the rain removing the snow for you @Lynn49 , lets hope it stays gone!
You monster you @crafter !! Thinking about taking baked goods to the front doors of elderly shuts ins? bwahaha!!!
I won't tell the lock-down police if you don't. @Natalka it was quite eye opening for me to read that you know the schedule of the pain that you get, even down to when you get the momentary relief from it. That would stress me to no end, you're a soldier through and through! (((hugs )))

I saw this meme and normally I LOVE wordplay but this particular one was too accurate.




Between the covid, the loss of all the jobs, eventual evictions? and the terrifying insect insurgence we all can agree 2020 took the prize as worst year.

I'll close this out with a positive! Our Amaryllis plants that absolutely refused to flower ( these are 2-3 year old bulbs we replanted ) in time for Christmas surprised us with many blooms over this past week and a half.


Perhaps they were too frightened to come out while " you know who " ( 2020 ) was still around?

Good day! I had to look up what a kratky method was cuz I am not cool enough to know but it sounds very interesting.
Dropping off muffins is OK as I heard on the news that helping out others is still OK. It is very kind of you to do so.
