The temperatures overnight were single digits (even negative digits) but the sun is shining this morning making the 9 degrees seem warmer somehow. Riley has gone outside. Yesterday morning, he refused to go out. G and I didn't take the dog for a walk as the snow's surface has a hard, sharp crust of ice. It rained a bit on Friday afternoon, just enough to make a bad situation much worse. Our driveway is rutted with ice. Dangerous for walking. Disaster for me when attached to an eager 90 pound dog.
I got the dining room table cleared, laundry done, the floors vacuumed (g) and managed a delightful, delicious and filling dinner last night. We (g) grilled hamburgers outdoors, I fried bacon and then caramelized onions in the bacon fat. My two burgers were served topped with cheese, mayo and pickles. Then I piled on the bacon and onion. It was so good. So, so good. G had his two burgers with toasted rolls. Then we watched Downton Abbey on PBS. A perfect Sunday.
Tomorrow I need to venture out in the car and get my haircut. I also need to have my glasses frames adjusted as I whacked myself in the head with the dryer door yesterday. And my scale finally needs a new lithium battery.
The internet is working. G unplugged everything and then slowly reacquainted the router and everything else to the others. We have our fingers crossed. No email has appeared in my inbox but G has gotten some. That is usually my only indication of life outside the boundaries of this house, this desk top.
I have a good book to read and a few things to finish up. I have vacation packing to do and a dog bed cover to make for Riley to take with him to boarding. Or I can let him take one of his three house beds with him. I don't know what I want to do, yet. And then there is supper to plan and prepare. I am thinking Mushroom Pasta with dried and fresh mushrooms or perhaps pizza for G. For me, a package of Trader Joe's sautéed onions and peppers with the remainder of the frozen Perdue cooked chicken strips. It's almost 11 am and I haven't even had my breakfast yet. Or my first cup of coffee.
I need to make meals that finish up all the fresh foods in the fridge. Especially the stuff that is in open containers like Eggbeaters, cream and sour cream. I will be going thru everything after breakfast and making a list of what I need to finish eating. I also have avocados. Three. And limes. I forgot to buy jalapeños. Now---- I must prepare breakfast.

Your burger sounds just delicious. You sure will appreciate the weather in Florida when you get there.
