Yay for thoughtful Dept. Head!
Yay for kitty doing better!
Yay for people realizing that self-sufficiency need not be rugged individualism.
meara, I am in awe of you taking swim lessons. I have never been able to get the rhythm of when to put my face in the water either. I can dog paddle.
Oh, praise be, sunlight hitting the ground! I can cope with 18 degrees if the sun is out.
At this point, 18 degrees would feel delightful.

Connie that's pretty awesome!
It's only six lessons, but they're through the city parks and red, so I figured I'd give it a shot, inspired by Sara and Kat. And the possibility of someday doing a triathlon--right now I have no desire but it's in part because I couldn't manage the swim portion in any good way!
I agree with everything Windsparrow said ^.
I really want to do this [link] but if the ticket line is outdoors starting at 6am (when it is supposed to be 6°) I don't think I can survive that with my fingers and toes intact. I can dress to get to the train station and stand on the platform for 10 minutes, but 2 or more hours standing still? Seems like a very bad idea when the Reynauds has been bad anyway. Damnit.
Missing the diapers in that painting, Calli
I'm glad your cat is doing better, Jesse.
Good on you, bosses of Connie! I'm a fan of supportive communities and workplaces myself.
Yay swimming meara! Getting use to keeping your face in the water isn't always easy. They sell nose pinchy things if water up the nose is a problem. [link]
Yes, the painting is woefully incomplete. But I think it captures the essence of NC winters. I heard about tequila in drinking chocolate in a recent podcast, so I'll be giving that a shot tomorrow. Or possibly tonight.
But do your areas have a proper French Toast Alert System?? [link]
It was a real dilemma deciding what shoes to wear this morning. We're in the process of getting an inch of snow, but that's it. So I won't need proper footwear going home for sure, but also decided against my cutest, most slippery boots.
It is 59 degrees in my house.

That is my optimal temperature for sleeping. A little chilly in the daytime.
I'm not sure of the inside temp, but it is 0 outside. And I actually have to go somewhere this afternoon. I may have to break out my snow jacket instead of the sherpa lined zip up I normally wear.
I don't wanna work today. Motivation is also at 0.
