98 this morning. Our high yesterday was 66° and it should be the same today. It looks like we will be warming up for the weekend and may even be in the 70s. 
I have decided that today is going to be a do nothing day and pretty much just take it easy.

107 this morning. Our high yesterday was 66° and it is supposed to be the same today then warming up a lot starting tomorrow with 73° then 81° Sunday! 76° Monday. This is really unexpected and quite warm for this time of year but it is going to be warmer than normal all over Southern California and they are even looking for rain closer to the coast next week. That is really needed so I hope it happens. Nothing for here but that is typical.

106 this morning.

29° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 38°/32° cloudy, but also rain/snow showers later today with possibly 1-3" of new snow here in the valley. Hope for more rain than snow so the ice that is already here can melt off before fresh snow comes.

Not much on the agenda for today. The only thing I want to do and be done with, is make a copy of my birth certificate, driver's license, passport (even though it is expired, it proves my identity) and social security card (don't think they would need it but better safe than sorry) and a copy of my mom's will. Then set them aside until needed. I just hope we can get this settled as soon and easily as possible.

The rest of the day, I just want to take it easy and pet the cats!

97 this morning.

30° was the high yesterday. Today's forecast is 37°/23°, cloudy with rain and snow at various times. The bigger snow comes in the next few days.

Talked to my son last night and he said he has been talking with the executor and nudging him to get the process going. And as we talked he said he needed the trust agreement from my mom's will. I sorted through all the papers and found it. That is a key piece of the inheritance process.Sent him copies I took with my phone and will mail copies today. That establishes my 25% that can't be disputed in any way. The executor has no involvement with this portion and no changes can be made to it. One big step.....

I was going to start some kitchen reorganizing today, but just not feeling it. I think most likely I will be doing some ice scraping to clear it away before new snow comes.

96 this morning. Our high yesterday was 61° but it is supposed to get to 74° today so quite a bit warmer and even warmer tomorrow so I am going to enjoy this warm spell while it lasts and get outside for a while.
I haven't decided what I am going to do today so I guess I will have to figure it out. I sold a graphics card that I had replaced with a newer one a while back so I had to package it and get it to the Post Office yesterday so I did get out of the house.

95 this morning. A pleasant 27° outside per my outdoor thermometer now at 7AM.

It got to 39° here yesterday and some ice was melting, but not much. Kind of dread what it will be like this morning...probably an ice skating rink out there! Today's forecast is 32°/18° cloudy with some snow showers but less than an inch of snow. The bigger part of the storm comes in the next couple of days. Figures as I have a podiatrist appt on Tuesday!

Only thing I have to do today is make copies of all the Trust info for my son and gather the garbage for tomorrow. Plan to take it easy...

96 again this morning. Our high yesterday was a warm 74° just as predicted and today it is predicted to get to a hot 81° which is kind of nuts for the start of February but it is going to start to cool down in the next few days but still in the 60s.
I have several other electronic items that I should get ready to sell so I think I will start that today. It isn't a lot of money but I would like to see someone else get some use out of them. What I don't sell I will drop off at the local thrift store.

103 this morning. Our high yesterday hit the 81° that was predicted and it is supposed to be 78° today so still under the high pressure that has all of Southern California in the hot range and it has kept the rain out of the area but Northern California is getting a lot of rain and snow.

104 this morning.

34° was the high yesterday and it was a fairly nice day. Some melting but not much. Very light snow in evening and overnight. Today's forecast is 23°/7° cloudy with snow starting in late afternoon. This is the big snow that may end up over the next few days with up to 6"of new snow accompanied by 35m/hr winds.

I'm going to cancel my podiatrist appt for tomorrow. It is going to be nasty out around the time. I also discovered he also has a practice at the new Health Center in town so will try to get my appt rescheduled for there rather than the 60 mi round trip to his other office.

Garbage up to the road and a quick PO run before the snow comes to mail the Trust copies to my son. Chewy order is coming today so there will be that to unpack too.

106 this morning. Our high yesterday was 74° so a couple of degrees under the predicted 78° and it is supposed to be 68° today so starting to cool down a bit. Not cold but cooler. They are expecting rain on the coast and they are worried about mud slides in the burn out areas and trying to prepare for it. This is always a problem after fires and this is more dangerous as the flow would be toxic coming from the areas that had homes burned. I am glad that we don't have to worry about that here.
I don't blame you for canceling your appointment Barbara, that is a long drive to have to do in bad weather.

99 this morning. 11° and snowing so far 5" total.

Yesterday's high was 28°. Today's forecast is 17°/12° and snow...more snow 3-5 more inches on the existing 5".

Lots of shoveling to start the day...I'm sure more to come. At least so far it is dry snow so light to shovel.

Good news on the inheritance front. The appointed executor declined to do the job, after long talks about his responsibilities with my son. My son has gotten the OK from niece and obviously my daughter and me! He is going to apply for the position and there is no reason he won't be accepted. At last things will move in a timely manner.

Yesterday I discovered that Pepsi had changed providers for their life ins. as of 12/31/24, which I have as a surviving spouse. I got a new card in the mail to my surprise. After almost an hour on various holds, finally I found this out and got some of the new info. Actually looks like a better plan from what I know now. I have to call another # to get a copy of the plan which I'll do in the next couple of days. Then I had to call and change info with the drs I have already seen in this year to correct their billing info.

And already today I have been on the phone almost an hour! Seems like the phone is really wanting to spend my time these days!

102 this morning. Our high yesterday was 69° and it is supposed to be just a bit warmer today at 73°.  They are expecting rain in much of Southern California but it will not get here.  The biggest chance is Thursday and Friday.
Off in a bit to my cardiologist to see what the Holter showed but I don't expect it was much.

123 this morning.

21° was the high yesterday and it snowed most of the day. Some was heavy, some light. Day's total here was around 8". 5 more inches overnight, 11° when I went out to feed cats and shovel the paths at 7:15AM. Took me about an hour and 15 min to get the paths all clear. At least this storm is moving on and just a few light snow showers this morning left. Now the real clear out comes! Especially the concrete pad in front of the garage as when that melts it flows back into garage. I guess they didn't level it properly to prevent that when it was poured.

Laundry is on my list for today beside any more snow shoveling. Otherwise rest as my back, knees and arms/hands are really feeling the over use the past 2 days.

110 this morning.

Yesterday was 25° with an additional near 6" of snow at least the sun was out some. Today's forecast is 30°/15° cloudy with some light snow showers in the morning and evening but only about an inch total. No new snow overnight so I don't have to shovel right off.

I did something to my right knee yesterday, it buckled several times and hurt when it did. I have to walk very mindfully so I don't fall. I had hoped I would sleep it off but it has already done it once this morning. It doesn't hurt just sitting and most times when walking, only when it buckles. Will watch it and see if I need a dr to look at it.

No chores needed today other than feeding the cats so will take it easy.
