Hello from another rainy, snowy, chilly day in NJ. No gills on me yet but I think I see some webbing between my fingers and toes. If I start to ribbet- send help.
How was your weekend? It was pretty quiet here but I think I am ready for the week ahead. I had to run to the store to pick up broccoli rabe and popped into the Dollar General next door. I was looking for a matte nail polish top coat and thought they might have it. They did not but guess what they did have? Seeds!!!!! Boxes of wildflower, shade mix, and *drum roll* hummingbird varieties. I can't even begin to think about seeds and gardening, but I had to had to had to get the hummingbird box. I know the rate of germination rate isn't all that good but for $2, it's going to be just fine!
I put together a nice dinner for Cait, Tom, Gary, and me. Broc rabe and garlic pasta with homemade vegan bread sticks. 16 of them. There are only 4 left. LOL! We played Wii bowling and golf after dinner and now my shoulder is a little annoyed at me. I slept funny on my neck the night before and the bowling seems to have aggravated it even more. Ah well, what can you do? (A: Take some Advil. Use a heat pack. Stretch gently)
I am not sure what I am going to do today. My eye is a little gunky and red so I don't want to put in my contacts. I get allergic conjunctivitis so I think it is just that but I should let the eyeball breathe. (That sounds so odd but something my mom would say-- let a wound breathe. Anyone else say that?) I don't like to drive wearing glasses so I think I'll skip Coloring Crew. I am way far behind on Cheery O stuff so maybe I'll take the day to do that. First I need to clean out the fridge and work on my food shopping order.
And taxes. I should get started on our taxes.
We might need to pay this year. Normally we don't since Gary's disability is untaxable income but I cashed in the last of the Treasury Bonds I had from our wedding to pay for part of Jaida's surgery.
Hope that you all have a wonderful day and if you see the sun, tell him I miss it.

how ridiculous is that??!! Sure hope your eye clears up, darn allergies !! I need to catch up on a few things here at the O also and get some commenting done too!! Have you been keeping up with your yoga?? I have been doing a Pilates challenge and really enjoying it, also started some yoga and yesterday started a slim arms challenge. Still don't feel as good as when I was swimming, but the pool is just too darn busy and I hate fighting to get into a lane with several other rude swimmers. Maybe by the end of February it will be quieter. So for now I will keep up with the pilates etc. Our hikes have been cancelled so many times over the winter, but hopefully the one on Wednesday will be ok. We are in for a lot more rain, so there is a chance that it might be flooded out.
