Our wings are not tired.

Woot! Even 25% weight bearing helps a lot.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hooray weight-bearing!

Boo no heat working!

My cauliflower levels are quite low, alas.

Neat, Laura!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

not sure. My boss told us to go home and we had space heaters so it was warmer by us, but with month end/year end - the slow connection at home wasn't worth it to me. Tomorrow I'll be there until the heat repair guy shows up and if he doesn't get it fixed I'll leave.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I've managed quite the exciting New Years. I have an infected foot! So that's fun. (I initially thought it was a mozzie bite, as I collected a couple of those that night at a neighbour's place.) It's somewhat uncomfortable but not painful, and the fever seems to have subsided now (fingers crossed). That got a bit weird. I've been reading Fire and Blood, the Game of Thrones 'history' of Targaryen rule. The first night the fever decided to manifest itself as a few (dream-induced) fire-breathing dragons. (One of which was being ridden by a K-pop singer, I don't know what that was about.)

Anyway, I'm now on antibiotics and all, waiting to see if it subsides. Cooking my spinach and cottage cheese lasagne (appears in the Buffista cookbook as a cannelloni recipe), which is Ryan's favourite meal, so he'll be happy. Tomorrow we'll just be doing a salad of some description, as the forecast is for the temp to reach 42 degrees (107F). Still, Melbourne is getting off lightly, that's just for a single day. Parts north have had temperatures north of 35 for up to a week or more.

42 degrees?! Dang, that's excessive, Australia!

Australia is nothing if not extra.

Yikes! That is cracklin' hot. Mmmm, spinach lasagne. Good choice for a favorite meal. Also, most excellent fever dreams. May the foot heal quickly.

Watching the morning news it has occured to me that I would pay extra for a news channel that never played sound bites or video with Trump. It triggers a response that is a combination of rage, disgust, and sorrow that I'd like to avoid before breakfast. I turned it on thinking I would hear something about the rest of the world like China's moon landing or something, but no, all Trump all the time. Back to reading my news.

Black coffee:

I switched the channel to Newsy and so far it may be a better choice for background news noise.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Having to get up for a 6:45 meeting is at least improved by coming downstairs to the heat blasting away.
