Our neighbor did indeed leave his house today, now that he could get out of his driveway. The roads are mostly cleared once out of the subdivision because it is all main throughfares through town from there. He said he just had to have coffee. He said he could have made it at home, but he doesn't drink anything but McDonald's every day. It is an excuse to meet friends there and share coffee. I am sure it is good for him.

The temps have been above freezing today and yesterday with sunshine, so the roofs are thawing, and the roads where they have been cleared are dry now. It has not affected the solid blocks of ice elsewhere.

My phone sent a message that my photo cloud is full, so I need to buy more storage. My husband reminded me that I have a photo stick that will download all of them, so I can clear my cloud storage. I have a picture frame that I can put the thumb drive into that will shuffle through my photos in the frame. I also bought a portable photo printer on a flash sale so I can print my favorites.

The scale is eeking down. It is like that old exercise we used to do in PE on the steps, where we stood sideways, jumped up one and down two every time until we reached the bottom. It took a lot more work and time, but we ended up at the bottom. I am still going up a pound or three every few days, and then I will drop that and another tenth of a pound. It is still progress, though not what I envisioned.

The sun feels so warm today. My husband was out with Poppy this morning and came in saying that it must be up to 50° today. I laughed because I had just checked the temps. It was and is 34°. He wouldn't believe it until both our phones, the computer, the local weather channel, and Alexa all confirmed it. From 15°, a breeze, and no sun, it does feel like a heatwave.
