How is everyone doing? It's been so cold all over the country. 


I'm doing well. Work has been shut down 5 days now and I'm getting a little cabin fever. But I had a chance to sit in the sun (through the window) 3 days in a row....was really nice.

in san francisco fall to 40 to 50s. I like it because I stay home most of the time. At night I will sleep well. We can turn up the heater.

Good morning kikio! Well, I feel like a big dummy! I have been following the weather closely. Two nights ago, as I was brushing my teeth, some rust came out with the water. Didn't dawn on me that my pipes could be freezing. Woke up yesterday morning to no water. Luckily, I have spring water so I was able to wet my hair and I have baby wipes that I used to wash off. I was afraid that I wouldn't have water when I got home but I had a million things to do before I could come home. On the way home, I prayed to God that I would have water and he answered my prayer! A lot of rust came out in the sinks, tub and toilet but now it's good. I have a long walk to my job from where i park but yesterday I found good parking. I have been tolerating the cold better than usual. My heater in my car has been taking extra long to get hot, I guess because of the low temps. I hope that you get out soon. Have a nice day!

It’s been cool and sunny. Though today it was 65. I wasn’t feeling up to much even it was so nice and my day off work. I’ve decided to visit some family next month so I did a little trip planning. I need to get a break from work as my anxiety is high but it’s not possible.

Reddog, with any luck maybe we can get out this weekend. It's supposed to warm up a little, maybe even above freezing :). Good luck

Peter,& adriasm 40s are still chilly but I'd take it over -15 we've had here. BUT 65
I wanna be where your at .
I hope you get a break from work soon.


Greeneyes,
I'm so glad you're pipes didn't break. We had to keep heater's on ours too but didn't have any problems thankfully.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
