Saturday Puzzle-Contest: Hunkering down in the cold…
Saturday, January 4th, 2025

The weather’s taken a decidedly cold turn here in central Arkansas—and I don’t likey. Tessa (my lovely, grumpy cat) and I could not be coaxed out of bed early today. The first alarm went off and I rolled over, the cat yowled a complaint, and back to sleep we went. It’s supposed to be really chilly for the next week. Bleh. I’m ready for pool weather.

Last night, all the girls sat in the living room, snug beneath our blankets, as we watched Wicked. Even my hard-to-please daughter loved it. I would definitely recommend it. After the movie, we ate hot apple pie. I went to bed feeling all warm and cozy with the cat snuggled at the top of my pillow to keep my bald head warm. It’s quite a sight, but I won’t be sharing any pictures! Today, my daughter is hoping I’ll feel up to a flea market jaunt and maybe dinner out. I’ll have to nap all the way up until the time we go, pop a pain pill, and then I’ll be ready for it. I’ll be leaning on the shopping cart in the store.

I can’t wait for the day I can do something spontaneous and fun without worrying about whether I’ll drag ass and drag everyone else down. Not that they would ever complain. Anyway, I do have a plan for today, and you can bet I’ll be bundled up in layers of warm clothing. I hope you have a wonderful Saturday!

Solve the puzzle, then for a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, tell me what you love to do when the temperatures take a nosedive.

    Stay curled under covers and read! If I am lucky my husband will start a fire in fireplace as a bonus, because unless a nature call is needed I am not moving.

    I’m currently bundled up with a couple blankets and my fur babies. I’ll be making soups and hot chocolate.

    I love the cold weather! I stay home and get stuff done inside since I can’t get outside.

    when the weather is cold outside, I either bunker down with a book series and read or we stream a show that we have been waiting to watch

    I have restrained myself from moving to the recliner next to the radiator. I know I’ll fall asleep and I do not want to get into that habit! Right now, I am wearing some double layers. I spend my time in the kitchen, but it faces west and with the big maple trees that used to shield the street being gone, my kitchen is ALWAYS cold. To me anyway. I have a floor length poncho with a hood and ‘hoodie’ pockets. I’ll wear that with a loose winter cap. Right now, I am going to make a hot chocolate!

    3:50 – a brisk walk does the trick for me.

    If up to it, make a snowman. Then warm up, and crawl under a blanket and read a book or watch a movie. Maybe draw or color my artwork.

    I like to light a fire in the fireplace and drink hot chocolate. I also make sure I have warm socks on.

    I get to the grocery store days in the days it’s going to get really cold and make sure I have soups available for a cozy meal – also some cookies to have with hot tea w/honey.
