No snow on the ground in western Fairfax County this morning. And we're more likely than many parts of metro DC to get snow. Would type more, but I'm using my wrist to keep my assistant (Coco) from laying his head on my keyboard.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

11 degrees outside. The sun is going like gangbusters. I took the hit for being late (far rarer than not going in at all, so I'm good for that) to have the car place double check my battery. They ran the test of battery, alternator, and starter, gave me a puzzled look and said, "It's all good, was there a problem?" "Just making sure," I said. And I drove in to work under bright sunny skies, on nearly dry roads, and feel good for the first time in a week.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hooray, Connie!!!

Few things feel as good as when an illness begins to retreat. "Hey, breathing without effort! Long time no see, how ya been!"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yay, Connie! I love your little stories of your life.

It's chilly here -- only 40 degrees. But because my house has very little insulation it's pretty chilly inside, too.
Today is the first regular day off (which I get from my compressed work schedule) where I don't have to think about when to go visit Dad. Sigh.
Instead I have a metric ton of paperwork to deal with. Plus bills for my own stuff. Argh.
At least I have two lovely bunches of flowers.

In other news, here's a college course I could enjoy. If it were closer.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm nervous about a lot of things.
All of the above, plus the idea of Trump and his kind being normalized. This is unacceptable.
78 here, but they say it feels like 80. I have my windows open because it was cooler earlier.

Wishes of comfort during this transition. I don't know when or if we ever stop automatically thinking "I need to ask" or "I need to tell" and then remember again.
Loving the stories of good co-workers and communities. And swimming lessons! I love to swim and swim often for long stretches of time, but I look absurd because I avoid getting water in my ears or nose. I have 2 recovering ears because I went underwater when I was on vacation. And wearing nose plugs and ear plugs makes me feel even more absurd. So I mostly swim at home.

Three degrees. And I still had to drag the dog inside after 30 minutes at the park.
