We had about three inches of snow this weekend, it's getting down to 13 degrees tonight. Winter is here!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Meanwhile, it was in the 50s here today. The rest of the week is supposed to be in the 40s. I dunno about snow..

It was glorious 50s here today too! I listened to a music program about 1968 for about 9 hours.
I mean, 2018 is giving 1968 a run for its money on the terribleness, but the music was much more amazing.

1968 was indeed a very good year. FWIW, I have 1969 as the password on my Nook, because it was also a very good year.
So I was just filling my daily vitamin thingy and when I shook out exactly 14 vitamins into my palm I had a moment of delight. Then I thought to myself, Buffistas would understand that.
Went to acupuncture tonight. I explained to her that I might be a tad on then tense side with the dog having congestive heart failure, and holidays, and my cousin dying, and trips to winter wonderland, and ya know, everything. And she decided to do something different with the whole music and aromatherapy, and so forth. Well, it was a relaxing hour. I only had to remind myself to stop clenching my jaw a few times.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That's brilliant.
Safe travels, Laura. So sorry for your loss.

There's a DJ across the street with his amps aimed at my windows blasting Hip Hop until 11pm for a college-sponsored "block party" I don't recall hearing any notice about.
My one consolation is that he's playing to an apparently empty street, so hopefully no one is going to line up another of these things anytime soon.

Laura, I am sorry for your loss.
There's a big women protest and strike today in Israel. I moved apartments two days ago and I'm drowning in boxes and errands and technicians and there's a conference in Thursday that I am part of its staff so I cannot participate as much as I'd like (and I'm at work too atm). I had to decline an invitation to speak in one of the protests, but my thoughts and heart are with everyone in the streets today. Oof.

Moving is time consuming enough without having the conference too. I understand how you feel about missing the protest though.
I bought some lemongrass essential oil and a little diffuser to put next to my work area because mosquitos keep getting into the house for various reasons. They think I am an airborne disease testing station and I was getting bit a dozen times a day for the past couple weeks. We'll see if it helps, but at least it smells nice.
eta: I'm also an idiot and they are only getting like 3" of snow the night I arrive in NY. Duh.

I read a bit about the strike in the news, Shir. I hope it's productive and that your moving-related hassle calms down soon.
I just got invited to a bookmaking workshop at a work friend's place. That's a bit of work-related socializing that I'm actually looking forward to.
