We are in the mid-30's and overcast and very light rain and some snow. Been reading the Sunday paper and did a little housework. Had long phone call with my widowed sister-in-law who lives in California. She lives in a senior residence and they are confined to their rooms. Two of the residents are in the hospital with COVID, and two more are in the hospital with colds/bronchitis. One staff member also has COVID. All this confinement to her room and no socializing is getting to her. She's a very sociable person. She got so upset yesterday her blood pressure shot up. Thankfully it came back down.

Happy Dancing because it is the Winter Solstice. Also for the countdown we are in a new decade.

It's 39 here, heat wave, and overcast. Am going out grocery shopping when I get off of here. Did phone calls this morning. Making a list of what I still have to get done.

Got out to the small independent grocer by my house. It is beautiful out, clear sky and sunny.

Sunny day and in the 40's. Have the drapes opened to let in the sunshine. Cats are not impressed they are all asleep. Read the papers and did housework this morning, will bake cookies this afternoon.

It is 46 and sunny here. Did paperwork and housework this morning, have an appointment this afternoon. We have a rain storm coming in later on Thursday that will last until at least noon on Christmas. We aren't going out so we'll be fine.

Getting overcast outside. The storm is coming in. They are making a big deal about the wind, supposed to be high winds for two hours or so overnight. We might have to face Christmas without power. We do have a generator and it is ready to go if needed, but we can't run the stove with it. Christmas might be interesting.

Merry Christmas to those of you that celebrate. We did our Christmas dinner today (the 24th) since a storm with high winds was predicted and we might lose power overnight. We have a generator but I wouldn't want to run the oven while we are on the generator and use up the propane.

Well, we didn't lose power. I was awake for a while over night and I could hear the winds. Since we had the big dinner yesterday today is a more relaxing day.
