Thankyou @jude07. I've been silent the past three days because we've been in the midst of this Polar Vortex, with below zero temperatures (which I can tolerate) but snow, snow, snow. I don't have snow tires on my walker! 😥
I really miss my daily walks. The sidewalks haven't even been cleared of snow, so it might be a while 'til I can get out there again. As well, I have just been put on a blood pressure medication and a blood thinner, so it's Adjustment Time for the body (again). Not feeling so great right now. This, too, shall pass. 😔 The weather is supposed to be better tomorrow, with "snow and rain", if that could be called better. Lol. Warmer though, so the snow will melt. Under all this manure, there must be a pony somewhere!! 😊
My best to all. Laurie

@artist01, Thank you, Laurie, for the much needed chuckles this morning. Whaaat? No snow tires on your walker?...Wellll that is just disgraceful!!! LOL
Caught in the timed "rolling blackouts" as my community, like so many others throughout the country, endure the hazards of sub-zero temps, snow and ice, I was very frustrated with me-self yesterday to see my cable provider bill due in a couple of days. Had "planned" to take the ever increasing charges to the local provider office to request modified charges for my "bundle"...tv, internet and landline. Weather intervened before I got there. So bundled to the brim, I let the car heat before snail-slug creeping to a nearby p.o. drop box.
Having thrived and survived 2 winters in Duluth,MN, I "know" how to drive on ice and snow but it was amazing to watch other west TX drivers try to navigate our uncleared residential and larger thoroughfares. Considered meself a well deserving hero for returning home safely despite the crazy drivers. Yep! Didn't find the pony under the manure but enjoyed the victory with two large mugs of spiced tea.

Hi,
Stay in and walk around your house. My grandfather many years ago in Chicago took his walker outside, and fell in the snow and broke a hip. My good friend called me yesterday and said her 96 year old dad fell on the sidewalk in light snow and was in emergency surgery for a broken hip.
Seniors need to be especially careful.
Glad I’m in California.
