24-36 inches?!



Recommended Posts

The weather report this morning was possibly 10 inches of snow in the city. I was out and about much of the day and around 5ish, I wandered into the grocery store for a couple of things and it looked like they were giving away the food. Lines were out the door and I knew it had to be related to the weather so I picked up my tuna and salad fixings and went home to see what was going on.

Blizzard warning and 24-36 inches of snow expected from Central Jersey on East. My admin called our group to tell us the Senior Director has said that we should work from home tomorrow and Tuesday. I'm figuring I'll be working from home on Wednesday as well if this is as bad as they are touting. I know the weather folk can be dramatic but I have a feeling this is going to be a real pain in the neck.

For those in the path of this storm, stay warm and stay safe.

I am in Massachusetts. They are calling for 24+ inches of snow, Monday evening through Tuesday. One weather person called the storm historic. Well, I hope not. I was in the "Blizzard of 78", 48 inches of snow and the area was paralyzed for a week!

But if the normal accuracy of the weatherman prevails, we'll be fine! LOL

I read the title of this post and thought, gowalking got the waistline measurements backwards. I'm sure she meant it used to be 36 inches and now it's down to 24.

I thought the same thing about the title of the post as I am planning in getting new bras soon. 44C down 42 then 40 and now I really need a 38. Just like the jeans sizes -- down, down, down.

Now, as to the weather -- yikes! We live in rural NH and are always prepared for this kind of thing. But really? Must we?

Whatever the weather, I love having a dimmed appetite. I still obsess over food prep and presentation. I cook, a lot. But these day I just have a little taste and that's that. Heaven!

I am in northern NJ (Bergen County) and I'm also hoping its not as bad as they say. It feels like the kids just went back to school from winter vacation, and darnit mommy needs quiet with her coffee! lol Well that and electricity and internet not getting knocked out would be a plus!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
