A blizzard is on the way!
Good news from my kids. They have been able to change their flight to tomorrow morning, thus getting out of the area before the storm hits. The grandkids will miss some school, but I'm sure a lot of that is happening. And it is really better that everyone is safe. Also, they will be parking one car at the airport and the second car at the football stadium, so there won't be any concern about moving their cars for snowplowing.
Mine, of course, will still have to be moved. But the city always opens the municipal parking garages when the snow is heavy, so they can get the plowing done. I'm just waiting for the announcement, and then I'll move the car there. I will use the one next to the train station and ride home to the nearest station, 4 short blocks away. Oh, and did I say the parking is free? Also the train ride, because I'm a low-income senior citizen. Train rides are always free.
I went to Aldi this morning to stock up on a few things. Even though there is a lot of leftover food in the freezer, some staples were needed. I bought peanut butter, bread, granola, butter, maple syrup, crackers, crescent rolls, biscuits, eggs, rice, lettuce and tomatoes. The total was $33. I'm still on track to only spend $100 on groceries this month, thanks mostly to the brunch food being counted in the gift category!
Once I get the car moved, I'm ready to hunker down. Now I'm just hoping I don't lose power.

I went to Kroger yesterday and picked up fresh fruit and a couple other items since I didn't need much. I went early before the panic shopping hit. DH went by on his way home and he said there wasn't a parking place left yesterday afternoon between the Christmas and blizzard shopping.
Glad the car situation worked out.
I'm with you, I hope we don't get as much snow and we don't lose power with the high winds! Stay safe and warm!
