WEll....the weather guy is reporting "dangerous" temps for our area.  And honestly, for those of us who live in Texas, this might be true...  We are not prepared for low temps in the teens.  

Most of us don't even own coats or winter clothing to keep us warm in freezing cold weather.  

I just went out to crank my car to let it warm up before I have to get out in the bitter cold.  

Heading to the Chiropractor this morning!!

Hoping he can help me with this sciatic nerve issue that I have going on.  

Then, it is lunch with friends today...

We chose the Mexican restaurant here in town.

We had a big WIN with the Mylee's Basketball game last evening.  

This weekend, we will be headed "Somewhere here in TEXAS" for another playoff game.

Other news:  

Our Colorado kiddos are all sick.  They are running fever, sore throats, cough and all the crud, BUT.....tested negative for Flu, Strep, and Covid.  

There must be some kind of new flu going around that doctor's don't have a test for.  

This has happened with so many people in our area as well...  Sick with the same symptoms but yet they test negative for the flu.  

I feel like a new woman today.....had a hair appointment yesterday.  Hair cut, some highlights, and my horrible roots were made new.  

Not really complaining here, just speaking the truth...  Sam and I stopped at Subway for a sandwich before Mylee's game last evening.  

I ordered a turkey and pepper jack cheese melt sandwich.  

After taking the turkey (with the cheese melted on it) OFF...I ended up having a veggie sandwich.  

No one's fault but mine. Why did I order turkey in the first place?  I don't really like turkey!!

Senior moment I suppose.  

Y'all keep warm...keep your socks on....and bundle up.

Words in my Jar

 My jar was filled with so many wonderful and uplifting words which came from each of you...

Amazing moments fill the air, 

Caring hearts are always there.

Grateful souls embrace each day,

Mirthful laughter lights the way.

Cheerful voices spread delight, 

Joy makes every burden light. 

Marvelous wonders life imparts, 

smiles bring warmth to weary hearts. 

Sunshine brightens cloudy skies, 

surprises come in love's disguise. 

Dear ones make the journey sweet, 

Tender kindness can't be beat.

Care is shown in all you do,   

Kind hearts Bring joy and comfort too.  

I will add one more word......Amazing!

You are all Amazing!!

Ah, Monday

Ah, Monday!  You are here!!  

Update for my sciatic pain:  I am feeling much better this morning.  I spent the entire weekend...pampering my leg and it seems to be working.  Thank you all for the prayers.  

We are expecting an arctic front this week.  Our current conditions are sunny skies with temperatures around 30 degrees. 

I know this is no comparison for those of you who are in the negative degree zones.  

Sam spent a good bit of the day yesterday, covering most of our plants and covering the pool pump.  We had to uncover them just last week when the temps reached into the upper 80's.  Had we not uncovered the plants, they would have burned.

Tuesday through Friday, our morning lows are expected to be in the teens and the 20's.  

This weeks meals:   COMFORT FOODS!

Enchiladas

and.......

Chicken Stew...

And of course....Cast Iron skillet Cornbread.

Happy Monday Friends...

Shug.

 

 

What in the World?

 

What in the World??   Where did this come from??

I woke up Saturday morning and could 

barely walk.  

Never have I had Sciatic pain before, but somehow it showed up.  

My Saturday was spent with me sitting on a heating pad, using Ice packs, and taking 

Motrin and Tylenol. 

I'm guessing this nerve is irritated, which is causing pain to radiate down the back of my leg and even behind my knee.  

I read where rest, cold and heat therapy, stretching and gentle exercises, along with over the counter pain relievers is what I need to be doing to relieve the pain.

this morning..... the pain is not as intense!

Thank goodness.  

I guess today will be another day of rest.

Shug....
