Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 1:00 a.m. in "The City."

We started out the day here in GH with snow falling and about four inches on the ground. There is still a Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 7:00 p.m. Friday night. The NWS is forecasting a possibility for three to six inches of additional snow, depending on where you live. In addition, that forecast also calls for wind-chill readings of 0° to -15°!

The NWS is also forecasting blowing snow and hazardous driving conditions for the afternoon commute today and into the morning and afternoon commutes on Friday. White-outs and drifting snow are likely. Of course, this being Michigan, people will still take to the snow-covered streets, roads and highways and slide all over the place as they travel to and from work. Fortunately, we are retired and have nowhere to go and all day to get there, so...

Mary does have an appointment at the chiropractor later today to receive treatment on the aches and pains caused by doing much of the work that I normally do around the manse and the PE. She had to move the garbage can to the parkway area. But since she met with little success at that endeavor, she enlisted one of the workmen from a nearby worksite to give her an assist. He was very kind to help.

Speaking of assistance, we have been working in the kitchen together over the last few weeks, me with one arm and Mary with the knowledge, but collectively we are successfully creating some great vegan meals. In fact, yesterday's dinner was a slow-cooker white-bean soup that turned out great and is a keeper. However, since I like soup in almost any form, I may be slightly biased. Even after our dinner meal, we had nearly two quarts of leftovers, as seen here.

Collectively, we accomplished more indoor chores and also ran some errands once the snow let up.

I have two more weeks in this sling and I am getting antsy. As I've noted before, I don't do sick or injured well and I am not very patient when it comes to my own recovery. Mary has been more than patient, so that's a good thing for me.

Today, more tandem cooking and more drawing/coloring for yours truly. Mary has another project on the needles and so after we get up and get the fur-children fed and out, we can get on with our day. My new easel makes working on art projects much easier. Ciao.
