No. Hoping for the best. I am going to three Christmas parties this weekend. One at the church. My DH is playing nephi in the Christmas story.

*"The Stages of Snow: A Hilarious Tale of Surviving a North Dakota Winter"*
When a cheerful couple moves to North Dakota in the fall, they’re enchanted by promises of idyllic summers and picturesque winters. What follows is a laugh-out-loud diary chronicling their first snow-filled season—a journey that starts with wonder and ends with, well, padded walls.
---
*December 8 – Love at First Snow*
The first snow arrives, blanketing the world in shimmering white. The couple cozies up with cocktails, marveling at the fluffy flakes. “It’s like living in a Christmas card!” the wife exclaims. Their new winter wonderland feels magical.
---
*December 9 – The Snowy High*
The snow-covered landscape is straight out of a fairy tale. The husband embraces his new role as Snow Conqueror, shoveling the driveway with enthusiasm. He even clears the snowplow’s deposit with a smile, confident that winter is his new gym membership.
---
*December 14 – Reality Sets In*
Snow returns, and with it, bone-chilling temperatures of -20°F. The once-charming shoveling ritual now feels like an endurance test. The wind steals his breath and his optimism, though he reassures himself this “winter workout” is still worth it.
---
*December 16 – Slip and Slide*
An ice storm transforms the driveway into an Olympic skating rink. One misstep lands the husband flat on his back, his bruises matched only by his wife’s uncontrollable laughter. His patience takes its first real hit.
---
*December 17 – Cabin Fever Kicks In*
Icy roads and a five-hour power outage trap the couple indoors. Wrapped in blankets, the husband grumbles about their lack of a wood stove. His wife silently marks this as her first win of the season.
---
*December 22 – The Never-Ending Snow*
Another 13 inches fall, and the snowplow buries the driveway again. Dressing for shoveling is now a 30-minute ordeal, leaving him too exhausted to actually shovel. Neighbor Bob’s cheerful “helpful tips” start to feel like mockery.
---
*December 24 – Holiday Hostility*
Shoveling becomes a personal vendetta against the snowplow driver, now dubbed “Satan in a Truck.” Holiday cheer vanishes, replaced by expletives and a broken shovel. The wife retreats indoors, claiming it’s for “Christmas baking,” but really it’s for self-preservation.
---
*December 25 – Not-So-Merry Christmas*
Snowed in under 20 inches, the husband declares his hatred for snow, holiday movies, and his wife. When the snowplow driver has the audacity to ask for a holiday donation, the ensuing argument ends with a bent shovel and some colorful language.
---
*December 27 – Frozen Finances*
The temperature plummets to -30°F, freezing the pipes. After a 14-hour wait, the plumber arrives with a $4,400 bill. The husband’s wallet and spirit simultaneously hit rock bottom.
---
*December 30 – The Breaking Point*
Ignoring Bob’s advice to clear the roof proves catastrophic. Under the weight of the snow, the roof collapses. The husband snaps, unleashing his fury on the snowplow driver. A lawsuit and a visit from law enforcement follow. His wife, fed up, packs her bags and heads to her mother’s house. The weather forecast? More snow.
---
*January 8 – Sweet Release*
With the house gone (burned down, but that’s another story) and his winter woes behind him, the husband finally finds peace—in a padded room. Medicated and safely strapped to his bed, he gazes out the window, wondering why snowflakes still look so pretty.
---
This riotous tale of North Dakota winter woes is a reminder of the fine line between winter wonderland and snowy despair. Whether you’re dreaming of a white Christmas or battling snowplow-induced rage, remember—it’s all part of the season’s charm… or curse.

Hi all, Im in a pickle here. Could use some sage advise please. Long story, sorry. Went to see Tom and the first thing he says is he is in pain. His neck and bedsore. I asked the lady taking care of him if he had his PP. Next I know a different woman is there saying You want to talk to me? I asked, who are you? Nurse I said oh, Tom said he is in pain. She starts going off on me! He wasn't in pain earlier, I gave him Tylenol, He pooped 3 times is why he is hurting.ect.... I let her finish her rant and I didn't reply. Tom wanted us to leave with instructions of he wanted a new watch. So that's what we were doing when nurse came back with a pillow to finally turn Tom. I get home and Toms DD wants me to call her. I guess she called to check on her dad. They first said she wasn't on the list then said they got permission from Tom Well, according to her all they did was bad mouth me! She had too many details to be making this up. Told her I didn't stay there very long, I "got pissed" because they wouldn't give Tom his pain meds and stormed out. There was a lot more they said mostly about me instead of telling her about her dad but Im not remembering it all right now. SD is upset over it too
Wish I had a pair of bifocals. No correction for distance but just a little on the bottom for close up as in phone use and other reading stuff.
We got a few fresh off the tree satsumas today along with a lot of frozen satsuma juice for making jams. Meant to get some fresh strawberries and forgot them because they were not on the list. I want to find a recipe for using bananas in jams.. And apples. I think apple cider can be used with muscadine juice for a jam. I get up with a peanut butter and home made jam sandwich and often fix one for the buffer for night time meds.
