Let It Go
Song by Idina Menzel

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don’t care what they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all
It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I’ll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

Yesterday, you asked about the renovations. The last time I heard from the owner was either a Thursday or Friday just prior to Christmas week. He was asking if the following Monday would be OK to get together and to go over the plans for the rest of the bathroom remodel. At that point I had said no only because I needed the time to pick out things for the three shifts of nurses and aides. I already had the gifts for the reception staff. I also planned on having a Christmas lunch with hubby which was already paid. I gave him the following week as an alternative and never heard from him again. Then last week the PR person contacted me and said he would be calling me in a few days. Well those few days have come and gone and rather waiting I decided to reach out to another contractor that does bathroom remodels from start to finish. I do like the way the shower came out, however, the owner never touched basis with his contractor to tell him that my hubs uses a wheelchair. Consequently there is a shower pole for a curtain standing in the bathroom. This room is small, but pictures show some shower stalls smaller than ours with a partition to prevent water cascading onto the floor and a complete walk-in or in hubby’s case, a wheelchair in. Since the flooring needs to be redone from bottom to top, this may not be as extensive as I imagine it to be. I will find out next week.

These cold days have been somewhat tough. The back part of our home has had problems heating during the day. Night time it is fine. However, I am noticing that the hot water needs to be pushed almost to the top. Luckily, I have a plumber and he called this morning. I had told him of the problem, but felt last night the heat was not questionable. In the Northeast, the electric company sometimes pulls back on the electricity to prevent a loss to their customers. He mentioned that the samething is done here. However, he will be here Friday morning to check on the water heaters just to be sure. I have a feeling they will need to be replaced and that is OK. At least when hubs returns home this will no longer be an issue.

We’ were a bit warmer today. Temps this afternoon in the 50s. It is now47 as I type. Highs tomorrow and Friday in the 60s. Colder weather beginning Saturday with a warm up starting next Thursday when we will return to the 70s. We still have all of February to go through before we spring ahead.

The weather shows we will not be above freezing for 7-10 days. So it will be a sloooow melt for all this snow. I’m just worried about pipes. It’s been a long time since we had this much snow and cold for this long, sigh.

Hubs feels about the same, medicine hasn’t kicked in yet. I’m having a slight relapse. I was so tired yesterday.🥱 Between the two of us, my house is germ city.

You are correct – 55 degrees is shorts and tank top weather!🩳👕

I will sit back with some hot tea.☕ Lots of hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎💕🎈Oz is sunny but cold. We still have another deep
cold wave coming tomorrow.

Please be careful while you are out there. I hope your husband feels better.

I am going to be watching some of the Games. 🎈💕I have been busy in this
house there is always something to do. All our kids are checking in and they
are having cold spells too.

I am sending warm hugs to you and Jake. 💕🎈😎😘

@taci,

Good morning in S. California I hope the plants are thriving today. 💕🎈

Enjoy the trails and the sun. 🎈💕😎 I took Poppy for a short walk due to the Ice on
the ground I had to get out and walk.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie I did read your post from last night.
Oodie I don’t think that place has a cook no one would serve something like that to
anyone. I think your husband deserves better.

This is a multi task day for me and I know your schedule is full good luck with
the contractors.

Hey here in OZ 55 degrees is a heat wave I have seen people barely wearing clothes
when the temps are 55 degrees. LOL! 😎Oz is a bit sunny today so that helps a lot.
I am watching one of the cats bathe in the sunlight she does that everyday the sun
is out. 😎🎈I love Miss Kitty.

Oodie stay warm and it’s so strange to say that to you. I am wearing my Hoodie Robe
and it feels so soft and warm. 💕 Oodie take care and let me know how things go for
you today.
