Dance steps should double count!!
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

My feet certainly think so, as they were thrashed, and I had blisters.
I think I'll get a pedicure and leg rub soon.

Harumph. I remembered to run water through my faucets for the extreme cold snap, but apparently that wasn't enough to keep the hot water line from the heater to my house from freezing up over the last two days. No signs of damage so far, and I've got water running through it again—will see shortly if it's warm enough for bathing.

Oof, that cold snap looks brutal! Single digits and negative numbers!
It's 55 in San Francisco so I suggest you all pop into you pneumatic tube and come on over for lunch.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Defining moment of this cold snap: my mustache froze up when I took the trash to the dumpster yesterday.

Or use your transporter technology to come enjoy 59 deg in San Diego!

Hmm, says 83, with lack of wind chill, feels like 89. I can confirm that it is sticky out.

Laura definitely wins there. Today is our first day above freezing in several days, and it’s only just. But definitely my house is finally warmer (and not 54 degrees when I go downstairs in the morning!) None of my stuff froze but I haven’t checked my outdoor faucets, which I should have done something about and didn’t even think of. Fingers crossed.
Meanwhile I have less than zero desire to do work, again. Client on one project is grumpy that we are moving part of my role to someone else (to save my sanity) and I’m like “ooh, tell them I’ll quit and then they won’t have me at all?” Lol.

Monday was not fun, I was mopping up water from my laundry room floor before it could freeze. But at least being able to take a hot shower made today somewhat more pleasant.

Punishingly Intricate
I, for one, am happy we’re getting a taste of real winter. It’s been too long. (And very grateful for my warm home, of course)
