At last, Sunshine !!

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Tue, 12 Dec 2023 16:37:59 GMT

After days and days of dark dreary weather plus a couple inches of wet sloppy snow yesterday, bright blue skies and wonderful sunshine.

It is only in the 30s but I'll take as long as it is beautiful out.

I'm in NE PA. How is your weather?

I'm off to do my most hated household job.........darn never ending dusting.

@CrazyKittyLvr2,

It's 41 degrees here in New Jersey.

Dusting is my least favorite job also!

@CrazyKittyLvr2 I am in south central PA and it is a beautiful 46 degrees and sunny.

I am scheduled for some blood tests later today, so I have been fasting since last night.

I'll trade you. You do the tests, I'll do your dusting.

@Carmie lol I just had my bloodwork done this past Friday. Hopefully everything will turn out good for you.

Yes it is a beautiful day in the northeast today! We had several inches of rain/wind Sunday into Monday so we appreciate the sunshine. It's 42 degrees where I am in RI and we are going to have a beautiful week, even getting back to 50 degrees this weekend.......which for me is bittersweet as I am longing for a white Christmas!

Sunny in the mid 70's here.

I will do your dusting AND have the blood draws rather than have the brain MRI I am having this afternoon. At least I don't have to fast.

@Carmie I have to get bloodwork after the 1st of the year.

I had to get a new Dr. It seems the knucklehead I had retired and they never notified anyone. I called to get a script refill and got an answering machine so I left a message. 3 minutes later someone from the main outfit called and said there was no one in that office and by the way Dr.***** retired. I never got a letter, an email, nothing.

We have just the opposite of you, @CrazyKittyLvr2 , day after day of bright blue skies and sunshine. When you look outside, it's as if it was July. However, the weather people say we have 3 days of possible rain and gloom coming up. I'm looking forward to it. Rare treat.

@Kachina624 We have some REAL GLOOM here today, and it's moving EAST over to you! I hope you enjoy your couple days of respite! di

I've lived in PA all my life so I know this weather won't last. I think the next 2 days are just partly sunny.

The only down side to all this sun is it makes sure you see the dust. lol

I have 2 more tables to dust. Then I have a date with a packet of Land o Lakes hot chocolate, hazlenut flavored

@CrazyKittyLvr2

I'm in NW PA (near Lake Erie) and I would have gone insane if the sun had not come out today.!!!!

There's a heck of a wind from the south, but it's SO nice to see the sun!!!! Got all the curtains thrown open on the south side of the house to let the sun in, and dried laundry on the line just to get to enjoy that wonderful winter-wind smell in the fabric!!!

@CrazyKittyLvr2

While I'm loving today...no snow or ice to be seen anywhere here.....I'm nervous.

The Great Lakes are still wide open which means.....when the weather turns, and it will, watch out. Lake Effect snow.

Anyone here who lives along the Lake, near Buffalo and south, remembers last year. A zero degree, two day" hurricane" with snow, no let up, blowing across that open water, dumping feet of snow....

I am nervous about that.

My little cat, who is ALWAYS cold (!) is following a sun spot across my bed!!!!

She's very small, short haired, was feral and I rescued her, and now she sops up ALL the heat she can possible take, while dimly remembering living under a bush in the freezing rain, about to have more kittens ( She had about 700 of them before I could tame her and move her indoors....!!!).

She has a heating pad with a pressure switch that turns it on when she lays on it....you have to use a crowbar to get her off it on cold days!!!!

@CrazyKittyLvr2,

I like to snuggle up w/ the heating pad at night while reading. The cat and dog have figured out that if I get up, they both jump into my spot. Upon my return, I have to beg the Almighty Cat and Empress Dog for my spot back.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 , I was wondering if you were enjoying the sun. I'm probably not too far from you and it was nice here. We, though, didn't get the snow that you got yesterday or whenever it was, just rain with a bit of snow mix.
