108 this morning.

Yesterday I saw the ENT, Podiatrist and the Audiologist all in the same building in the same afternoon.  I was glad to get home.  I have an ear infection that I didn't know I had, so I have to doctor that with antibiotic drops for a while.

90 this morning.  It looks like our weather through the weekend is going to be pretty much the same, lows around 28° and highs around 55° with mostly sunny skies.  Next week we may have a slight chance of rain toward the end of the week.
I saw the doctor yesterday about the pain in my right side but since it has become a lot less she wants to wait and see if anything develops.  Probably not a kidney stone because she had me do a urine test and it didn't show anything.  Now that the pain in my right side has almost gone away I have developed a pain in my left hip.  It seems like when one thing goes away something else wants center stage.  Oh well, I see her again next week for the Annual Medicare Wellness exam so we will see how things have developed by then.

111 this cold clear morning. 9°F when I got up this morning just after 9AM. It is 12:15 now and all of 20°F outside.

Yesterday's high was 30°, today's forecast is 28°/10°.

Sorry you weren't able to get any answers re you pain Wally. I guess it is good it isn't stones? Right? This getting old stuff is not for sissies, that is for sure!

That is so true. All things are on the decline as we grow old.

We have freezing drizzle this morning changing to snow - or so the weatherman says.  I'm glad we have no errands today.

96 this morning.  Our high yesterday was 55° and overnight low 25° so it feels a lot more like Winter now.  We may even have a chance of some rain next week.
I didn't mean to say I received no answer from my doctor, she didn't blow it off, but wants to wait and see if anything develops and may have me take a Cat Scan later.  The pain has almost gone away but is still there and the pain that developed in my right hip is, I think, from favoring my left side when walking.  It gets better the more I walk so I am doing better. 
Yeah, getting older has it's challenges but it beats the alternative !

Yup Wally, I agree.  I would rather be 'above ground' than below it.  :)  Hope your pain level is greatly reduced and then disappears.

110 this cold mostly cloudy morning. 

Yesterday's high was 22°, today's forecast is 30°/9°. It was 12° when I got up this morning, it is all of 20° right now at 11AM.

I totally agree Wally and Grammabear, being above ground is much more preferable to the other option...

Count me in as well. Actually it is a nice way to put it, but there is no "other" option or alternative.

114 this morning.

Our temperature today is 26 deg F which is mild for this time of year here in the Midwest.  It feels downright cold however, so I'm staying indoors wrapping Christmas gifts.  It is also good weather to make Cream of Cauliflower Soup which we will have for supper.  :)

91 this morning.  Weather here is the same with an overnight low of 25° and the humidity is 80% so lots of frost on the roof.  It looks like we are going to have a good chance of some rain late Wednesday and Thursday but it is going to warm up a bit and I doubt that there will be any snow.  It would be neat though.

134 this cloudy drizzly morning. Don't know where that came from but I do feel a bit "off". Once again I am sipping ginger tea.

28° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 41°/30° with a good chance of snow this afternoon and over night.

No gift wrapping here, I've been sending Amazon gift cards for years.

We have 28 deg F and a north wind of 10 mph and humidity of 87%.  Definitely a winter day.
