It's currently 33°F here, so if you want to send us 30 degrees of your surplus I'd be game.

You can have mine. It's not overwhelming here but my climate mitigation machine needs professional attention. 63 seems nice.

since everything goes so completely clown shoes so fast whenever Mommy gets one.

Super good idea.

I looked into sodium ones because I also get clown shoes but it only measures what is in the pee cause you are always excreting sodium so less useful. When people don't make sense, look for the dang UTI or electrolyte imbalance.

Oh I forgot the point of posting, I had jury duty today. Was not selected to even be questioned which is just as well because it was domestic violence and my former brother-in-law is both jailed and had no parental rights to The Twins. I could be impartial but that has to be disclosed.

I would absolutely serve on a jury but I hate the "jury duty" part as it is all waiting and sometimes they make you put your book down.

Some of the interceptors' fragments in Jerusalem today hit East Jerusalem, near the National Library, and in the Old City as well - Church of Holy Sepulchre and the yard in Temple Mount. That's coming after the weekend, when a warhead hit a building in my mom's neighborhood.

I love this city so much. I chose it as a home 20 years ago. It's hardcore, insane, wonderful and weird all at once. And there's always good food, and something to break your heart and something to restore your faith. I cannot begin to imagine the havoc in the Old City if anything serious happens. You do not mess with an axis mundi - especially this one - whether you believe in a god or not.

(just so we are clear, "fragments" can be anything from the size of a small ball to a small car of burning metal containing explosives).

Would that some fragments landed on the ill considered war mongers and autocrats.

I'm sorry, Shir. It must be so stressful and sad.

I'm so sorry Shir that you are having to go through all of this.

Sending love, Shir.

Thanks. I am still doing OK, especially compared to many others here, but really - some places here are under a status quo for a reason (to prevent something much much worse). The immovable ladder alone... [link]

I did not know the lore of the ladder!

It's going to be a record high of 83 in SF today.

I found a green t-shirt and green cords to wear. So the odds of me being pinched went from 0.0% to -67.00%.

I gather from the news that some of you are getting snow blasted, which always seems like a dirty trick so close to the spring equinox.

Matilda is on break this week and we have breakfast plans for Thursday, and I'm looking forward to that.

And I get to check off my learn something new every day requirement

It's going to be a record high of 83 in SF today.

We were chilly today! Only 68 when I went to the dog park. I was only wearing a T-shirt, while the other pet parents were in jackets and sweatshirts. We are wimpy when it comes to temperature.

Having a chill day. Corned beef and cabbage in the slow cooker. We didn't go anywhere this year for our anniversary as we both have been so hectic and overwhelmed that we just wanted to stay home and maybe watch one of the movies we haven't seen from those nominated, which would be all of them.

Completely forgot it was the 17th, but I wouldn't have done anything about it, so no worries there.

Just discussed with DH that the Instant Pot was the best investment in a kitchen appliance that we ever made. It has saved me from "needing" to order food (because we haven't been shopping in a while) more times than I can count as long as I have at least part of a bag of frozen chicken breasts from Aldi or Lidl, which I always do, and some random jarred or canned sauce or something lying around. And let us not forget the perfect "boiled" eggs (thank you, Laura)! It's a keeper, I tell you what.
