Long time no post....

 Sorry things have been crazy busy on my end.  On top of that haven't really been feeling 100 percent for awhile now.  

I went in for day surgery, Wednesday past, female stuff.  Here's hoping it was worth it.  On the mend, but some days are better then others.  Only time will tell if it fixed the issues I was having. I got in under the wire, because by Friday everything was shut down. 

We are in lockdown number 2 here.  One of our high schools got the covid variant from the UK, so we are trying to get things under control.  Thankfully it wasn't my daughters school.  So for at least the next two week, the kids will be doing online learning.  I figure once we get closer to the 26th of the month they might extend it another week or more. 

We are only allowed to go out when we have to.  Most places are closed except for grocery stores, drugstores and the such.  If you can work from home they want you too.  Fast food places and restaurants can do deliver or curb side pick up. 

So far we have 296 active cases and all but a handful of those are from the one cluster out break. sigh

Winter is here still.  I thought we were getting an early spring Mister groundhog. So I guess the last few storms we are having is going to make up for that.  I think we have another one coming the middle of this week. 

On a fun note I have found a great new distraction and it is called TikTok. lol  God help me. I don't post I prefer to watch. lol  I mean watch creators well thought out videos and comment accordingly lmao

So it is Groundhog day.......

and what does that really means.  Nothing, lol.  When it is all said and done the next 6 weeks of weather will be what ever it is suppose to be.  I would love to put my faith in that chubby, not so little rodent when he says an early spring only because I hate winter.  But in the end will he be right. 

It seems that there is no definite consensus on what the next 6 weeks of weather will be if you go the Canadian and U.S groundhogs. I believe they are split right down the middle 50/50. 

All I know is by the end of the 6 weeks I would of have forgotten their prediction and will still be complaining about the weather.  lol 

Found the pic below when I was searching for a groundhog pic to post on Facebook.  I am not sure if the info is even correct, I did no fact checking.  Not that studious today, down right lazy if I must tell the truth. lol

Holy snow storm batman....

What a snow storm we got last night and today.  Except for the kids where already out for Christmas break they would of gotten a snow day.  It was a two part snow storm.  First part started over night and stopped early morning but by late afternoon it started up again and didn't let up till the we hours of the morning.  We had a blizzard warning for over 12 hours because of the high winds.  We got  44 cm's of snow in total.   The city was shut down for the day, the government, the university's and the malls were all closed.  The buses weren't even running it was that bad on the roads.  The sidewalks at this point are nonexistent.  Not sure when they are going to get it all cleaned up.  The kids will be going back to school on Monday so I hope by then.

A new year - 2019 ....

It is day one of a new year.  Honestly it feels just like any other day.  Sitting here waiting for the ham to cook.  Probably wont venture out of my pj's today except get into another pair later after my shower.  lol 

It is pretty nice day out there today other then being cold that is.  The whole calm before the storm, I guess.  Suppose to be getting a major snow storm tonight into tomorrow morning.  Then it will be nice for a few hours in the afternoon but the winds are to get gusty then more snow.  Can you say blizzard conditions. sigh  I hate winter.  Thankfully Thursday and Friday is suppose to be nice, might get out then for a few errands.  Feels like I haven't been out in ages.  But it is winter, the cold and the snow are most defiantly not a friend of mine.

Haven't decided if I am going to make any resolutions this year or not.  I never seem to follow through with them for very long.  But will see.  I do have a book challenge on the go, 52 books this year.  I completed my challenge last year but alot of those where comics, but does that really count as a book.  Will post more on that on my book blog, at some point.

Guess that is it for now.  Wonder what this new year will bring? 

The Wind Today......

is unreal.  It is pretty high, winds gusting at over 100km an hour.  I hate when the wind is this high.  The house creaks and makes strange noises.  Pretty hard to sleep it is that noisy.  I always think the siding or the roof is going to go flying.  My family think I am crazy but I just can't help to think negative.  So many bad things can happen when the wind is this high.

So no nap for me today.  I am so tired. I guess I can get a bunch of things done online while I am waiting for the house to come down around my ears, lol. Come on lunch time, that is when they are suppose to die down.  Not even my music can drown out the sound.

Of course today had to be garbage day.  Thankfully the city has made it mandatory to put all garbage bags in a bucket that they supplied.  So no worries about it blowing away.  Granted the poor bucket was doing its best to stay up right especially after it was emptied.  Managed to get it down around the side of the house before it tipped over, not sure I would of been about to right it up if it had falling over.  Seen some recycling bags being blowed down the street.

This it my day so far.....
