Thank you Rose for keeping us on track

Nobody home?
I'm wondering how you are all doing, in this very chilly January. It's 5F this morning, and not likely to get above freezing until next month here.
A real winter! Are you all keeping warm? That 100+ vehicle pile-up near Zeeland was amazing, not in a good way. People drive too close, especially on bad roads, what a mess! Glad we weren't there, and that nobody died.
@1muttsfan, how are you doing up there, where it's really been winter?

I was wondering too where everyone is. Been so quiet. Been staying in and keeping warm. Haven't gone on my daily walk with Smokey for a few days now. One reason is that I over-did it shoveling snow and the other the weather. Glad I have sore back for an excuse. Going to see if I can do the exercise bike today.

Mostly just hanging out in the house here. I haven't "closed my ring" on the fitness thing on my iphone a few days in the past seven. (Came on the phone; I didn't buy an app.)

So the next day after not closing it, a message comes up, "You didn't close your ring yesterday." The next line should be (but isn't): "Hey, are you ok? Did you hurt your back/knee/hip/ankle? Can I be more encouraging to inspire you?"

But at least it doesn't say, "You didn't close your ring yesterday, ya lazy slacker!"

I want to tell it, "Phone, when it's 5°F and the windchill is -12°, I am not going to close my ring. Just not going to do it. Leave me alone about this, ok? I still work out on the elliptical EVERY FREAKIN' DAY!"

Sally, do you know that you can pause your rings? I had to do it for two days because I hurt my back shoveling. Also, why aren't you recording your work out on the elliptical??
So much snow, and I'm not going to shovel it. Well, I cheated some and used my mini leaf blower to clean the deck stairs so my dog didn't have to dog wouldn't bring so much snow in. My front sidewalk is covered in snow. Someone does the driveway. He did it this morning but it snowed again. Fed X had trouble getting out of my driveway. Sliding all over.
Stay safe. Stay warm.
