Oh, wow, @JCU ! Big :hug: for so much going on. I am so sorry for the loss of kitty.
Congrats on the house! Best wishes for a smooth and as stress-free as possible move.

Well, once it thaws
Winter walking on a beach is beautiful and peaceful. (Just make sure you know you're still on land if the ice isn't rock solid safe--this can be a bit deceptive.)

There are no sidewalks, and I've no idea what the roads will be like, @Laura Rainbow Dragon. I'm worried about getting to the beach itself. But if it's safe, I very much look forward to experiencing it!
If ice is an issue, I very much recommend crampons. They were a game-changer for me last winter. I got some with tiny tungsten carbide spikes. They are very effective on ice but not an issue for crossing sections of pavement that may be clear. (They're noisy on clear pavement, but not an issue traction-wise.) They're also easy to pull on and off one's boots so can easily be removed if one has to go inside someplace in the midst of a hike.

Thank you! I will keep this in mind!

Thank you @NightWolf714!

I've has a very relaxing week! Did as little as possible outside of regular chores. Managed to avoid my usual post chaos cold, too!

No news yet on the closing date, but no news is good news! We are discussing color and furniture placement. Can't make any hard decisions until we get back inside and take measurements.

Come From Away was spectacular! I knew it couldn't be bad just on the story and soundtrack. This performance was truly exceptional! The actors gave truly emotional performances. Very glad I brought tissues! (My sister and the man sitting next to me thanked me for that, too 😂)

Nobu was being a Velcro cat until tonight. He wasn't happy Mom came home from work and I wasn't with her. He warmed up eventually, but I had to watch him go to Dad instead of me first 😤

Pictures:

1: Nobu did not want to get off my lap the other day 🥹 (again with the sideways 😵‍💫) 2: the wedding party! And anyone who was early and wanted to join in.
