Showery weekend followed by a dry workweek.

Fair Friday with temps around 70 degrees. Numerous showers possible Saturday and Sunday. Next week is looking dry for the most part. The weather will gradually become quite warm by the end of the week.

Tip of the day

When you need an ice pack, an easy method is to use a plastic bag of frozen peas. The peas conform to the shape of your body and when finished with your treatment just put them back in the freezer to be re-frozen. All this in a convenient plastic bag to be used over and over.
