Sounds like it was a pretty wild night with wind gusts up to 87mph/140kph in some parts of Auckland. There's power out in some places, trees down and some damage but no report of any fatalities. It's still very windy but at least our trampoline hasn't moved. We are sheltered where we are. I think the plastic we'd put on the aviary is miraculously still in place but it's still dark so I can't see much.

I was woken up at 4.30am by an escapee baby Button wailing because he couldn't find his friends. They are such little escape artists!

We don't get snow up here Debby but other parts of the country have had their first snowfall for the year. It's chilly here though and I've got our fire going again.

I'm good at losing them before I mail them. The last one was for my sister. Bought it on a Wed, was going to have the girls sign it Friday when they got back from their house sitting job. Still have no idea where the card is. If I ever do find it I can't use it for a long time, here birthday isn't on Thanksgiving's Day every year!

And not that long ago you were posting how HOT it was.

It's been the hottest summer on record here. Yesterday it was still warm - but now a southerly blast is coming straight off Antarctica to remind us that it won't last forever. It should warm up again though, for awhile at least.

Sounds like here except for snow. Last summer was the hottest on record too! The next hottest summer was the summer before last.

I hope we will have a better summer this year!

Fall tends to be like that here too. Nice temps then colder temps, then it warms up again for a bit. And we have "Indian Summer", warmer weather after first frost. I figure the weather gods are being nice and reminding me there are things I need to do before it gets cold for real.
 
We went for a walk by the river for half an hour. 20180410_141122.jpg
Lots of wild flowers.
 
We have people doing the siding on the house. Started yesterday and they've made a lot of progress already. Have like all the siding off and put in our 2 new windows. One of mom's windows was cracked and very broken and needed to be replaced. The other window was in my room. We replaced the one on the back of the house along with the other 2 windows in the back (bathroom and one of brother's) like a year or two ago when we did the bathroom but hadn't done the other one in my room yet. My windows were old and needed to be done. Except both these windows were sitting in the garage for years so turns out they are both vinyl and the others we put in are wood. But that's okay, you won't really be able to tell when you paint the other one.

I have also been having a lot of jaw pain lately :( and sometimes wrist/thumb like if I grab something a certain way :/

But the jaw is way worse because now it's starting to sometimes hurt when I eat. And for a while it's clicked and occasionally just started hurting and caused migraines. I keep thinking I'm getting migraines and I do get that too but I'm realizing I think a lot is jaw pain. So anyway, this week has been especially bad. Has hurt while I eat a few times and now today my whole face hurts. The migraine causing thing. So I just took Excedrin. Advil and Tylenol kinda stopped working for my migraines and doesn't really help with the jaw. Excedrin works great. Usually. Right now it's being slow to kick in. But I worry abour taking NSAIDS or drugs in general so often because it will eventually lead to liver or kidney damage, stomach problems, etc. And it's like do I suffer through jaw pain or potentially have far worse, permanent illnesses later?

Although atm I was just feeling my face and I wonder if maybe it's some sort of sinus infection?

Either way, I need to do something. Because I feel like there could be something up with my ears too, they seem tighter or something, idk.

I am in so much pain though between all this schtuff :(

And I've been getting really bad dry eyes and sometimes dry mouth.

And I feel my shoulders are screwed up too and/or my finger joints. I'm a mess haha
