We are a little north of here, but the whole area is like this.

I'm so sorry to hear about all your troubles. Now that the power is back on take lots of nice long warm baths, you've more than earned them.
Oh my, that's horrible. Just like it was here after Sandy. Prayers and pixie dust to all

That's crazy. It's never any fun cleaning up entire trees and boughs. How did your dogs fare the storm?

Wow that was a mess. We have some areas that still look like that here too. My DH is still working on power restoration here.
Someone told my DH today that that is what is happening in FL. The power crews are having to work on clearing the roads before they can even get to putting the lines back up. It is just horrible. I am so glad your power came back on and you guys are safe down there.

Hello-
Today is rest day. I woke up with a stiff neck. LOL I am going to walk later. I had men here repairing the roof (again). We have skylights in our living room and one was leaking the last time it rained. It turns out all three were installed incorrectly. LOL The roofers also told us we have raccoons living in our attic. He did something to their entrance point, so they can't come in. I had no idea, I haven't heard any commotion up there at all.
I felt like macarons today, to keep in practice. I folded the batter a little longer than usual, just to see what would happen and I used a new baking sheet and an old baking sheet. I bake each sheet one at a time, because it seems like they cook evenly when there is one sheet in the oven. Anyway, first up was the new baking sheet. When I took out the macarons, they were flat and dull with small feet. I thought maybe I over-folded the batter and I put the other sheet in, which is the older one. When I took them out, they were beautiful--perfect feet and glossy shells. I let them cool and I went to take them off the sheets and the flat ones were under cooked. They took forever to finish cooking and now they are so brittle. Boo. At least the other half came out very well--delicate with a nice chew. I just look at it as troubleshooting and eventually they'll come out fine. I don't think humid weather helps, either. LOL

Good morning! My cold isn't too bad today-just stuffy. I got outside anyways yesterday cause it was too pretty to stay indoors!!
Dinner is going in the slow cooker-chicken tortilla soup.
That sounds delicious. Do you have a recipe, or do you just wing it?
You're right humidity is the culprit, in this weather you were lucky to have half come out right. Talent winsHello-

You might have walked that much. I go for a walk for an hour and 10-15 minutes in the morning and I come back with 11-12K steps. If you are moving around, back and forth for an hour and 45 minutes, I can see how you might get 17K.
