Yikes! Not cool, school.

We have reached our high temperature of the day today: 9℉ (windchill is -2℉). Snow is still falling. The only birds at the feeder are dark-eyed juncoes, and they are all fluffed up for insulation.

USPS Informed Delivery emailed me that my mail had been delivered (one 1099-INT and one Kickstarter reward), so I bundled up and trudged to the mailbox. The promised mail was not there. Grrrrr.

I am staying in the rest of today, and (if all goes well) all of tomorrow too. Monday morning at oh-dark-hundred I have to drive about 30 minutes away to get an MRI (annual check on my pituitary, to make sure it is still the same size and shape it is supposed to be).

Forecast says we won't get back up to freezing until noon on Monday 02 February. Brrrrr.

The only positive spin I can put on that is that the snow is all dry powder, easy to brush off my car. No nasty stubborn ice to be scraped.

Wow!

Also noting that I got a Kickstarter reward yesterday, as informed by USPS and also in actuality. Tom Tomorrow’s Our Long National Nightmare which I am glad to have but not in the mood to actually read right now…might be a while

I’m glad for your mom, Trudy.

I’m less glad for your tooth, Tom. I hope you can get it fixed soon.

Today I dragged my butt out the door into -14F weather to help my sister chase after one of the grandnephews (the other was going to a friend’s birthday party). Three hours of running after a toddler is a lot if you don’t do it all the time. He’s a sweet kid who likes us and wants to play. I figure when he hits 13 he’ll be far less interested in hanging with his great aunt, so I’m enjoying it while it lasts. Then there was a couple of hours running around with my sister, and now I’m home, enjoying my comfy sofa.

Good stuff, Calli
