I do wish I had brought foot warmers with me this morning -- Santa put some in my stocking! At least my office is warmer than it was earlier this week, and I don't think that's just the two sweaters I am wearing.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

I have an old friend from high school who moved from LA to Chicago in November (with her 3 LA-born kids.) It's -24 there this morning. They are all like, WHUT.

These windows weren't designed for temps like this- condensation happens on the metal framing and windows, and it 'rains.'

Ann, that's a ferret.

And yet, some people ask why I left Wisconsin.

Now wearing gloves.
I may just leave early and work from home the rest of the day. This is ridiculous.

It is 21 here which for us is a pretty cold. Usually anything under 30 will shut down most of our customers and therefore us, but we have done that seem to be ignoring the specifications of using our product and have still ordered. (Ground temp should be 34 and rising before administering our product)
ION, my non-work an for the workday is to map out weekend trips for the year. Have decided not to take a week vacation, but do long weekends throughout the year.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I drove again today because of the cold and because I have a shrink appointment after work and having my car will make it easier to get to.
Despite my depression and anxiety and my reluctance to drive long distances, I'm driving up to the Minneapolis area this weekend for a friend's wedding. Driving that distance in one go would just wipe me out so I'm taking off Friday and Monday to give myself two days to get there and then get back. I'm trying to make the trip as low-stress as possible so I think that'll work.

It was 9F here when I woke up today. That's not a common temp for NC. I don't have to be anywhere this morning, so I'm just watching the birds with my cat. I also found a package of Trader Joes pumpkin bread mix in the pantry, so I mixed it up with walnuts, pecans, and raisins. It's baking now. Eventually I'll go for a walk in the cold, and then l'll come home and eat warm pumpkin-nut bread with tea.
There are worse plans for a day. I hope everyone who has to deal with the cold finds good bundling options, easily openable cars that start, and minimal black ice.
