Yeah, I worry about problems with the dentures once all is completed. That is part of why I put this off for so long. I too was kind of in the back of my mind thinking the step would be to implants, but I have no insurance and I've heard implants can be as much as $7,000 a tooth! Way too pricey for me. I am just hoping things work out with the upper plate, I have no illusions that eating will be easy I just hope I can tolerate the dentures... They are already telling me I won't be able to eat nuts any more...sigh, one of my best snacks! Its going to be a challenge, but I am trying to keep positive and hope for the best!

133 this dark again morning.  At least mouth is feeling much better, feeling tired and achey still though.

It got to 52° yesterday and it was a pretty nice day too! Today's forecast is 51°/32° and partly cloudy.

Collecting garbage and working in the garage is all that is on agenda for today. My mind is racing ahead to when garage is finished and how/if the two colonies are going to successfully be able to intermingle in it. They do mix together a bit in the front yard, but the garage is firmly in the "side yard" colony's territory. Time will tell I guess and maybe the TNR guy that has done this before will have some ideas. I have to keep telling myself ...One step at a time, get the garage done first then worry about the rest!   ~ cat ~  ~ cat ~

112 this morning.  It is going to take a while to get used to the time change, it always does.  Kind of groggy this morning but I was up at 4:00 AM this morning , old time, and it is going to be a long day.
I hope you have a better experience with your procedures Barbara but I still have teeth that can chew and I can eat anything I want without needing dentures, I can even eat nuts, so I am lucky there.

122 this morning.

54° was the high yesterday, overnight was close to 30°. Todays' forecast is 50°/36° with a very small chance of some rain or snow.

Garbage to the road, and if my friend is up to it ,working in the garage is the plan for today. If no garage work, then I'll make a quick errand run.

105 this morning.  We had a high of 69° and an overnight low of 51° and it looks like we will be around 70° for the rest of the week. 
I got a good nights sleep and the time change is not bothering me today so maybe it isn't going to be hard to adjust.  It is going to be nice to have longer daylight.

I had just the opposite reaction, I didn't sleep well at all last night and felt pretty ragged earlier this morning, but now feeling better and more settled into the time change. 
It took a day for it to hit me this time.

117 this morning.

50° was the high yesterday, overnight about 30°. Today's forecast is 46°/31° cloudy with a small chance of light rain/snow showers in the morning.

Working on garage is all that is on the agenda today... Tomorrow I will go out and run errands I didn't do yesterday.

97 this morning.  We had a high of 72° yesterday and a low of 45° and it should be that today.  It doesn't look like there is any rain at all for the rest of the month but it could change.  I am hoping we will see something in March or April, after that is is going to be dry.
My plans for the day are just doing a bit of cleaning up then nothing much.

116 this morning. Really sore tis morning. Good thing we're taking today off!

51° was high yesterday, overnight around 30° so pretty mild. Today's forecast is 43°/25° partly cloudy with maybe a snow flurry early this morning. Coming up after today looks like some beautiful Spring weather with days in the 50's and sun!  If the forecast is to be believed.

All I'm doing today is quick PO run to pay yearly fees and quick grocery run since I'll be out. Some slow stretches are in order for my knees and back. Need to make appointment for hand surgery... for after garage is done. They. are both really hurting!!

91 this morning.  We had a high of 73° yesterday and a low of 51° and now it is going to cool down a bit but still in the mid 60s.  The wind is supposed to be picking up tonight and tomorrow and we could see gusts of 40 MPH, UGH.

Hope you are feeling better Barbara.  Knees and back hurting are not fun, I do have problems with my back and once in a while my right knee but not too bad.

139 this morning. Frustrated, but determined to keep working on getting it down more.

45° was high yesterday, overnight low 20's. Today's forecast begins several days of really nice weather. 48/24° and sunny. Next Monday is supposed to hit 65°! The A/C needs an outside temp of 65° for them to charge it or prime it, whatever. I guess that is why the sudden installation today so it is ready for Monday. Except for the disruption to kitties, at least it will be one full bill paid off when they are done!

I can do a little sorting in garage since I can keep it closed while I work, so that is my project today.

95 this morning.  We had a high of 69° yesterday and a low of 46° and it is supposed to be windy today but so far not too bad. 
Nothing on my agenda today but I think I will try to go through some things and try to decide what to get rid of.

115 this morning.

Yesterday's high was 45° it was sunny but chilly when breeze was blowing. Overnight was low 20's, when I got up today and checked at 6:40 AM it was 19° outside. Today's forecast is 54°/30° and sunny. It does look like we'll be getting into the 60's by Sunday until Tuesday, then down into 40's with some rain/snow. But that is normal for this time of year. The sunny days will be welcome for the garage cleaning!!

All I plan for today is the garage work. Hopefully that won't upset the kitties as much yesterday's workers all over the place and under the house!!

108 this morning.  We had a high of 62° yesterday so a bit cooler and they now are predicting possible thunder storms later today and tonight.  That came out of nowhere!

I hear you! Our weather has done that a lot! Forecasts are not totally dependable for sure.
