It's only 28 degrees here, but it'll be mid to upper 40's on Friday and Sunday. Maybe some of this snow will melt! I'm just glad I don't need to go out at all for a while. I tend to stock up on canned goods, so I'm set for another month. Anyway, I've been having fun making new comment graphics. I prefer my SNOW that way, lol. And my 3 favorite teas now: Choc Truffle, Salted Caramel, & the new one--Sweet Dolce Cinnamon. Love this graphic, but I mainly have this one when I feel bad!

I found where I'd made a note of our first snowfall: 7 inches. So we've now had a total of 18 inches. I expect we'll have more, even if it's just a couple of inches at a time.
Finally got new ink cartridges in. I tried the 'original' black--it said Empty!! Sigh. I hardly used it, before the 'instant ink'. I can't seem to find a way to actually TALK to a live person at HP. I wanted to tell them off (politely)--Should have known there's "no such thing as free". Oh, well...that's done with. The printer seems to be working fine now. All I need is more paper, lol.
As of a couple of days ago--the snow is finally all gone! And the temps are up. 67 (F) today...maybe 70 in a couple of days. Then it'll go back to 30's-40's, which isn't bad...much better than single digits!
I'm now listening to a new CD--my favorite 'going to sleep music'. I had put off 'making' a replacement CD, even tho my other one skips. Maybe a week ago, I did a search & found 2 free Burn programs to try, but today I found an old favorite: NCh. It worked great! Now, 'maybe' next will be trying to make a DVD with this program. Depends on if I get energetic, lol. I've learned over the years, if I don't "do" something frequently, I forget how to do it! Sadly....I'm having a lot of 'senior moments'.
Well, I've been busy--normal chores, some cleaning/organizing. I hate clutter, but I sure seem to collect it! And, since I'm probably the only one who will read Altara3, I've decided that it doesn't have to be 'perfect'. I've had a lot of ideas, but having trouble getting them in order. But I plan on working on Ch. 6 & getting it done soon. One scene was kind of 'out of place', but what the heck, lol. And I realized I'd forgotten a main tenet of writing: "show, not tell". So...I'm going to try adding more descriptions. I tend to do 'speech' and 'narrative'.
This has been a strange winter. We had a week of very cold temps & the 2 snows I mentioned before. But so much 'warmer' weather--actually up to 72 a few times. Today it was around 50 degrees with a thunderstorm--very heavy rain for almost half an hour. I just now saw/heard thunder/lightning again. Expecting it to rain all night, I think. I had a nap this afternoon, so I'm going to curl up now and read till I get sleepy.
