It's February

Brrr.... looking cold outside my window.  I'm thankful my plans for today don't call for me to go outdoors  except to retrieve my mail. And that reminds me...I probably better pay the bills today. They're stacking up fast. And it ain't gonna be pretty. Damn utilities bill alone was $278! Thanks to mother nature giving us the deep freeze through much of January.  Car insurance is due too.  Sigh....
Oh well, it's only money and I'm thankful I have some in the bank and don't have to go to a job every day.

My book is coming right along.  I'm in the genealogy part of it now  so I'm having an especially good time.  Will start writing about the Holts this afternoon.  My dad's mother's side of the family. I've opted to tell stories about certain members instead of just listing names and dates and places.  Yesterday I wrote about this guy who was married to a cousin of mine (back in the 20's) who was transgender.  He went on to write books and become well known for his work in x-ray machines and TB.  You can google him as A.L. Hart.

Looking forward to the Super Bowl this Sunday. Had a good night's sleep last night and I'm always appreciative when that occurs.  I did get a cortisone shot in my hip yesterday morning and that may have solved the problem I've had for a couple weeks or more. Course the doctor wasn't sure if it was bursitis or sciatica. Could even have been a pulled muscle. Whatever. I'll live.  At least for a little bit longer.

Went to Walmart after my doctor appt and discovered that P.A. and Sequim Walmarts don't carry T-mobile phone or any cell phone batteries at all.  I wasn't relishing a trip to Silverdale so Mary is going to find me something online that will work.  I don't need fancy wancy.  Want a camera, want to text, want to check Facebook and email, and want to go to google when I need to know something.  Oh, and a map app to give me directions whenever I decide to venture beyond my own county.

Went to a funeral for Edna Nelson on Saturday. Will attach a few pictures I took while in town and others I've received in emails or that I took around the house.  That's about all I got for today.  Oh, and my latest Netflix watch was a movie last night called Bad Hurt.  Had Karen Allen and a buy from Orange is the New Black and Sons of Anarchy. Can't think of their names and don't feel like looking it up.  Fairly good flick (but plenty sad).
