January 18th – Day 15, 16 & 17  of My 2026 Daily Activity Journal

I am back! It has been a few days since  I last posted.  I haven’t been overly busy or out of commission.    I have just been plugging along.  Not much to see here!

Our winter weather has returned with a vengeance.   I did not meet my weekly goal for executing an outting.  With ice, snow, frigid temps and winds blowing from 75 to 100 kmh at times – most times – outtings were not on the agenda.

I have been doing my aerobics, treadmill time, sinus and lung clearing… the usual.  It is far from from fascinating to write (or read) about.  But, it is the dull, persistent, consistent efforts that ultimately pay off – regardless of what one’s  goals are.

Yesterday, Dan and I  made a pot of chicken noodle soup for supper. That warmed us up. The cheese baking powder biscuits rounded off the meal nicely.

This morning, I had a bath, did my hair, and put on a dress that my niece Brigette sent up before Christmas.

It felt good to dress up for a change!  Also, this dress is so warm and comfortable I could live in it. 😁

It was a timely decision, as shortly thereafter granddaughter Genie showed up.  She returned some containers from Christmas baking. 👍 We had tea and a nice long chat. 

Her Jeep Cherokee is in need of a major differential repair so her and Grandpa bonded over some vehicle talk.

Molly was beside herself, as is usual when her favourite human drops by.

That’s it for today.   Tomorrow, I hope to get outside to clear some snow  off of  our walks and to get some fresh air in the process. 

Take care and have a great day! 🤗💞

  14. Purple is a great colour on you, Anne – and the fabric (velvet?) would certainly be cozy on a cool day. We get “all dolled up” so very seldom here in our South Texas winter community. I have a few dresses and nice pants outfits here for “just in case”, but the occasion seldom materializes. Now, you’ve motivated me to do the same “just because”. That soup looks delicious!

  15. Thank you, Terry. The dress is a dark blue velvet. The weird coloring at places was from misplaced rays of sunshine. I dont dress up as often as I should. It has a way of making us feel a bit special. 😊

  16. You are beautiful and the dress looks so cozy and comfy. Chicken noodle soup is the best and I hope you are able to get outside soon. Nice to get some company, Molly looks so happy with her favorite person! 🤗❤️
