133 this. morning. Don't understand why I've been running a bit higher lately. Nothing in diet has changed...

Yesterday's high was 42°, today's forecast is 38°/23° cloudy with periods of snow showers. I was reading last night about an Atmospheric River hitting No CA pretty hard and woke up to a story that there was a bad tornado in Santa Cruz county! Photos look pretty bad.Did any of it hit you Wally?

Another long missive from crystal lady yesterday but I am not going to even think about it at this point. These things are her problems, not mine!

No the weather is a lot farther North of here. We didn't have wind which is unusual. The tornado was about 70 miles South of San Francisco and caused quite a lot of damage. Tornados are not common in California but they do happen and there are usually at least 4-5 a year.

126 this morning.

35° was the high yesterday. Today's forecast is 31°/23°, cloudy with some snow showers. Light dusting of new snow this morning when I fed the cats, 20° outside. All the outside water dishes except the heated one were frozen. It's that time of year, morning chores take a bit longer when I have to thaw out the bowls too.

I think the crystal lady is coming again today. Not sure how that is going to go. I have learned with her I need to stand firm on my pricing, she got some fantastic deals in the beginning, and I blame myself for being too generous. I was learning how to let go of the inventory w/out thinking of being fair to myself in the process. Now I've learned, and I don't know if she can/will understand. All I can say to her is if she isn't happy with a price, she doesn't have to buy it. Not sure how that is going to go over, and I don't really care at this point.

84 this morning. Our high yesterday was 65° and it is supposed to be the same today. It is supposed to get to 70° tomorrow ant Wednesday then in the mid 60s for the rest of the week. No rain in sight here for probably the rest of the year so hoping for a wetter January.

I need to get busy and get some things cleaned up. It is so easy to put it off but the longer I do the harder it is to get it done.

Bingo! She didn't show at the regular time. I waited an hour then got ready to go out. As I was leaving 15 min later she messaged me and said she had a "healing session" scheduled and could come later. I said no, I was just going out the door, I was on my porch key in hand. She didn't respond on Friday when I asked "see you Monday?" so I figured she was not coming. She said she thought today was Saturday....yeah right, Monday is her one day off... Anyway I told her I'd stop by her shop and pick up the check and my book later this week. I'm done! I'm thinking I will get a table next spring when the Farmer's Market in town opens again and sell the crystals there. I just can't with this lady any more!

104 this morning. Our high yesterday was 61° and it is warming up to 68° today and we should be around 70° for the rest of the week. Pretty warm for December but nice.

Another 126 this morning.

Yesterday's high was 32° just a few more spits of snow during the day. Today's forecast is 35°/29° and cloudy. Barely an inch of new snow overnight. It is supposed to warm up Wed. and have rain instead of snow.

Nothing on agenda today except for just resting and relaxing and clearing my head of all stress over the crystal lady's problems.

108 this morning.

Yesterday's high was another 32° no new snow through the day. Some rain overnight. Today's forecast is 45°/25° some showers and possibly some strong 30-60mph winds late morning into the evening. I hope not!

Well, crystal lady is coming at 8:30 this morning. Not really by my choice, but she is coming before opening her store. To "play" and learn and bring my book and pay up. And also to buy.... I am going to be firmer on pricing, still low but more fair for me. I am also going to suggest we wait until after the Holidays are over to get together again. Give her time to absorb what I have said and go or not from there.

She said some hurtful things in her messages and I don't need that energy in my life so I will be glad for a break from her.

No other plans for the day.

91 this morning. Our high was 68° yesterday as predicted and is supposed to be 72° today and for the rest of the week then cooling down just a bit but in the mid 60s next week.

Yeah Barbara, you are probably better off not dealing with her anymore and try selling them yourself.

82 this morning. Our high yesterday was 73° and it should be the same today so pretty warm still and no wind!

I went out yesterday and got a covid shot and also an RSV shot and I already have my flu shot so I guess I am as protected as I can get. I am not out in the public a lot but most of my outings are at the hospital and doctors office where the sick people go so I guess it is a good thing to do as much as I can. I had never heard of the RSV vaccine before but it is suggested that anyone over 75 years old get it.

98 this morning.

Yesterday's high was 45°, big winds early evening blew out the pilot light in my fireplace even. But passed and got it relit by 9pm. Today's forecast is for colder but clearer weather 41°/26° and clear. The sun is shining right now (9:51am) but it is only 23° outside. I'll take the sun gladly!

Nothing on agenda today, I think tomorrow I am going to go very early to Les Schwab to get my tires rotated and the 4WD dials on my wheels unfrozen. I haven't used the 4WD in a couple of years (one of which I was in back brace and not allowed to drive) and I physically can't turn the dial to switch to 4WD. I went in Monday mid morning and it was a 2-3 hour wait. She said come first thing (7:30am) and it is not much wait. I'll aim for 8:30...

105 this morning.

Yesterday's high was 40° today's forecast is 45°/26° and partly cloudy. It doesn't look like it will be a white Christmas at this point, but thiings have a way of changing quickly this time of year!

Not much on agenda for today except laundry...I just don't understand where it comes from! It seems to multiply in the basket! LOL!

103 this morning. Our high yesterday was 72° and it should be the same today. Yeah, we are a long way from a white Christmas here. We have had it before but not this time. It is only going to cool down to the mid 60s!

Yeah, I think the laundry seems to multiply in my hamper while I am not looking also.
