Timelies all!

~ma to all dealing with the blizzard.

The new ones without catalytic converters are required to have reburners which as you say are still better than the old ones. I can only find GWP (Global Warming Potential) figures for the old ones, but not for the new ones. The new ones (new being not that new - made since 1998 actually) are about 90% better. If that applies to black carbon in addition to other pollutants that would make them better than propane but worse than natural gas. Oh but there is methane from the old ones as well, and I bet that is reduced by more than 90% in the news. So at a guess the new ones are much better than propane and slightly better than natural gas, but only at a guess.

They can't possibly be going to send me the meds and no nurse shows up, right?

So the fact that I'm scheduled to receive the meds between 6 and 8 today has to mean good things, right?

Why won't anyone tell me about a nurse, though?

I wish I could exhale. And, dear lord, I need to de-slash the living room, stat.

OK, so I spent the day doing numerous errands (laundry, groceries, etc.) and got back a bit a go and now I'm just hunkered down to avoid the snowpacalypse. So far so well.

I'm seriously pissed about the weekend I was supposed to spend in Amherst and get some serious hang time with a friend I've only been in very intermittent touch with until the last few months. Guess that's what I get for planning something like that in February.

And, dear lord, I need to de-slash the living room, stat.

A good rule of thumb, yes.

Yay msbelle! I say overnight visits for the kid and drinks for mom is WIN-WIN!

Whereas I am going to a school event tonight IN THE BITTER COLD (because I am a California wimp and 40 degrees is cold to me). No drinks for me!

So the fact that I'm scheduled to receive the meds between 6 and 8 today has to mean good things, right?

Right. Nurse is coming.

Crossing my fingers so hard for drug delivery and nurse news, ita_!

So the fact that I'm scheduled to receive the meds between 6 and 8 today has to mean good things, right?

I'd say yes. Because they are delivering some kinda big deal drugs.

Fingers are so crossed that home treatment works out.

Burrell, it totally got cold. It's at least 20 degrees cooler today than yesterday. And windy. It feels bitter.

Yeah, I figure they can't let me hold onto that shit for very long. I'm leaving work in ten or so, and I'll call the delivering pharmacy on my way out, since they coordinate the nurse.

Optimism is stressful. Don't let anyone tell you different.

And, Burrell, FREEZING. I swear lunch was colder than my commute in. I'm totally inadequately garbed for outside.

I just saw a mention on tumblr that this special Fox News article [link] about sexual equality is using a lesbian wedding as their lead picture. But hey--don't ask, don't tell. They never need know.

Liese, how hard is your water? When we leave a pot of water out for humidity, we have to dedicate that pot to it, because the minerals precipitate out and encrust the pot.
