Had a really good night, slept through the night waking with the alarm at 5am. The temp at 5.30am is 10 degrees but I don’t feel that cold yet. By 8.30am it was 13 degrees.
By midday it was 16 degrees, and I am so damn cold, I am not use, to being cold.
Tim isn’t feeling well today, has a tight cramp like pain in his gut and doesn’t want to eat, but he often doesn’t want to eat.
It reached a top of 20 degrees, but it didn’t feel like it.
What a cold start to the day it is, I had to find a heater to have on while I had my morning wash, it was that cold. I also turned the heater on in the lounge room till I came out when the chilled had been taken off the room. It is only 7 degrees at 5.30am.
By 7am I had checked my emails, read a heap of blogs, did my own blog post and now I sit wondering what to do next.
I had a scary incident I was eating a bit of a bread roll, and it got stuck in my throat, I couldn’t even swallow water and I was coughing and trying to dislodge it and it wouldn’t move. It went on for ages like 10-15 minutes and Tim started to get worried, so he rang 000, but while he was on the phone it finally moved and I was able to have a drink of water, so told the operator I was fine and no need for the ambos. I was really scared myself and even said to Tim that I didn’t want to die today.
By midday the temp was 17 degrees.
So, I just went into find clothes for tomorrow, I am out of any type of winter clothes, I only own two long sleeve singlets and one pair of warmish long pants all of which are in the dirty wash basket.
Not as cold this morning thankfully, 12 degrees at 5.30am, we have had rain overnight hope we have no more till after Sam leaves for school.
It hasn’t rained but I walked up with Sam instead of taking the scooter just in case.
I haven’t felt as cold today, but Tim has.
I told Tim that I would go with him tomorrow out to his Dr’s appointment, well he can see the Dr while I go look for some warmer clothes.
Jess called in sick to work, so she must not be feeling good as she doesn’t just do that.
Had a shocking night and so did Tim, I got only around 3-4 hours of proper sleep. I still got up with the alarm at 5am and it was bloody cold, had the heater going in the bathroom while I had a wash and one going in the lounge-room also while I was having my wash. It is 6 degrees at 5.30am.
Jessica is feeling pretty unwell with a high temp at 39 degrees, she will be staying in bed all day again.
By 8am the temp had risen till 10 degrees. It did warm up got to 21 degrees.
I went shopping on my own and bought 2 new pairs of long pants including a pair of trackie dacs and some more undies and another long sleeve singlet. Felt good to wonder around on my own.
Had a good night’s sleep, Tim has his work training with Port Stephens Coach Company today, so he was up at 5am with me as he must be there by 6.30am. It is 10 degrees at 5.30am.
Tim rang at 11.30am to let me know he won’t be home till after 5pm, he said it is all going well. At 11.30am it was 16 degrees. By 1pm it was 21 degrees.
Tim got home at 5.30pm, he has to go back tomorrow, so he will be up early again. He said it went well; I hope it is a job he will like doing.
Had another good night it is only 6 degrees at 5.30am, seems odd to have Tim up with me at 5am also felt odd him not being home at all yesterday.
By 8.20am I had read around two dozen blogs, checked emails, posted a blog of my own, vacuumed out, ironed a couple of items, and went up with Sam to meet her transport and sent a good morning message to Sue. Oh, and it is now 11 degrees.
Sandy called in to show me her new puppy they have named Angel a chihuahua. Asked when she was here if she knew anyone who would like a toaster oven, she took it.
Got to a top temp of 21 degrees.
Tim was exhausted when he got home this arvo, but he gets to sleep in tomorrow and Sunday and on Monday he goes and does it all again.
Not as cold this morning with a temp of 12 degrees at 5.30am, I slept well.
Even though it isn’t as cold this morning I needed the heater on for a bit as I was getting a headache, the type I gets in cold weather.
It got up to 20 degrees, Tim went out to put fuel in the car and I asked him to get me a cheeseburger and fries on his way home which he did, however, I wasn’t able to eat all of it in fact I ate very little of it which annoyed me as I hate wasting food.
Jessica has covid again, Tim is still not feeling good and now is thinking he has cancer, because he feels something is seriously wrong with him.

Dearest Jo-Anne,
Hoping whole heartedly that the last line is not true what Tim is thinking!
He has been on a year long roller coaster and that is not easy for the body and we have to consider our age and also the fact that it is getting colder… Lots of factors to keep in mind!
Wow, what a nasty near choking experience you got! Glad that you got out of it.
Sending you big hugs,
Mariette
I hope he is over reacting but I am not sure, my dad appeared in a couple of dreams, not saying anything he was just there which reminded me how he was diagnosed with lung cancer, her had horrible stomach pains and went to the ER were as a last effort to discover the cause they did an Xray which showed the cancer. So I want Tim to be checked out just for my own peace of mind and his as well.
The chocking was horrible and somewhat scary
We never know what dreams are trying to convey to us… but sure enough Tim ought to get checked out!
oh, no!
On no, indeed
Hi,
I just disovered your blog. I am in the United States, St Paul, Minnesota.
I enjoyed the posts I have read so far. I hope your family are well soon and you can find some warm clothes.
As for the weather, your temps seem pleasant to me but it is all about what you are acclimated to. That would be a good spring day here. We have some brutally cold days in the Winter but we will get some very hot humid days come Summer.
Hi Frieda and welcome, this is the first year in about 5 years that I can feel the cold which is one of the reasons I don’t have much I the way of winter clothes. In fat I would usually find these temps ok.
