I'm home bored and cold.

jaxs mom — Tue, 17 Nov 2015 20:53:00 GMT

It's freezing so I'm sitting here in a thermal top and knit jersey pants and shearling slippers. The power went off for about an hour earlier due to wind storms. I've done two loads of laundry. The cats had their lunch and the kittens are taking a nap. I suppose I could go wash those few dishes in the sink but I don't feel like it. All I have left recorded is last weeks Supernatural episode lol.

ho hum...

Warm hugs, @jaxs mom

You can't convince the cats to snuggle with you? Oh, well. I know how cats are!

It sounds as if the power is back, so that's something. (Unless I misread your post.) In any event, I hope you get a lot of replies so you can keep busy reading.

I love Supernatural. I just discovered it a few months ago and am watching all the seasons in order, on DVD.

Me too rainy and cold outside,some big windy snowstorm on it's way. It is the 50mph winds that are predicted that bother me most.I have water jugs and the wash machine filled up in case power goes out. Made a pot of turkey veggie soup and have it in one of the stainless steel thermos bowls.

I'm glad you got your power back on. Have a nice meal, read, listen to music, play with your little ones. We have to try and find good in there somewhere. As long as I'm warm, in cold weather, I'm a pretty happy camper. Hope since you wrote this you feel better.

I guess the kittens are up from their nap because Freyja just came to visit me and is purring on my desk.

oh the soup sounds yummy. I have a ton of leftover chicken from Sunday so I'm not really cooking tonight. My husband had to go out of town for the day on business but should be back in a few hours. I hope your power stays on in the wind. I actually thought we had pretty good response time getting ours back on considering that I'm in a dinky little town.

Bummer. It's cloudy here but warm. We are supposed to get high winds starting tomorrow and continuing through Thursday but our temps are supposed to be nice.

I'm in Ohio, and the cold hasn't arrived here yet (it's over 60 degrees). I know it's on it's way, due to arrive by this weekend. We're possibly going to get our first snow (lake effect)......eeeeeek! I hate the cold (I'm talking anything below 70 degrees here). I'm savoring these last couple days of warmth!

P.S. I do have a cat who occasionally likes to cuddle (he's only 6-1/2 months), and his little body is as warm as a toaster oven!!!

We got 3" of snow last night,but this rain and wind has it about knocked down.

My dh is in town too about 50 miles from home,I hope he is not in the path of the storm.

Times like this I think a cell phone would be nice to own.

Those of us at work dealing with unreasonable people (hence my QVC break for a moment of sanity) would switch places with your cold and boredom anytime!

The dreary, cold weather makes many people feel bored and lethargic, myself included. I find that listening to my favorite upbeat music is mood-lifting.

@spud188, I thought EVERYbody had a cell phone these days! When he was 83, my dad announced to me that he was driving to California to see his girlfriend (from the Midwest). I shook my head and told him the only way I would support that was if he got a cell phone. Which he did. And guess what? His car broke down in Reno and he used the phone. I am considered a phone-a-phobic, but being single, it affords me a sense of security than few things can. I hope you consider adding one to your household.

@spud188 If you are not interested in a full-blown smart phone (or even if you are), Consumer Cellular is a good place to start. I have no need for a smart phone, but I have a pretty basic cell phone that I only use in cases like @MaggieMack's dad did -- to call for car assistance. https://www.consumercellular.com/

I only pay about $10 a month for this basic service and my phone stays charged for months. The money is well-spent for what I need.

Oh my gosh, that is going to take forever there are so many seasons of Supernatural. LOL

Ha. I'm in Ohio too and if you think anything below 70 is cold, you are living in the wrong state. LOL J/K

I hope my UPS deliveries aren't too delayed from the power outage they had where the local main hub is. I looked it up and it was all over town which had to mess up the street lights. My stuff is out for delivery last I heard.

My kitties need their canned food that is coming today. I have enough for 2 more days I think so I don't think I'd have to go to the store.

Cold weather is heading here. I cut the grass today, (hopefully that's it for the year!). I just got my new sock loom-so when the cold hits, I'll make soup, have a cup of tea, and start swearing at my new loom! Lol!

Cold and rainy in Indiana too - I look forward to these days - baking, cuddling with my doggies, or having lunch with a good friend. Looks like another day of wet weather tommorrow.
