The Coffee House

[terri33 4]

I barely made it. I think I napped a little bit on the couch between 11:30 and Midnight, haha. Our guests left and I was asleep within 5 minutes.

This cold, dry air is doing a number on my hands. The skin on my knuckles keeps cracking and bleeding. I need to go find some Bag Balm.

If you have any old gloves you can slather Vaseline on then put on the gloves for a few hours either while sleeping or just vegging in front of the tv and it will help with that. I have similar issues every winter.

Queue up Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. Curley.

Sorry, it popped into my head and that's that.

They were open on New Year's Day? that's just so not right! lol

Oh yes - Sears, Penneys, Kohls, and Old Navy. There are some decent sales, but that does me no good if they don't fit!
The young lady at the Sears Auto place was in pretty bad shape - head down on the counter! Hopefully they won't be too busy.

People are still off of work - retail needs to be open for Christmas returns and, hopefully, more sales to clear out winter inventory. They already have Spring Break on their minds - out with the sweaters! In with the shorts and swimsuits!

We just had our black eyed peas and cabbage (and pork chops and cornbread).
Soon we will have a crazy looking marbled fudge cake.

I hope this year is going to be better than it started ...
The wife and I drove from our friends house in -16C weather back to our home for 2 hours with one window (passenger side where I was sitting) frozen fully open !!
... and I have to go back to work tomorrow to a job I really want to leave behind (was working on writing a resume over the holidays ... first one in 20 years).
Happy New Year.

Weather for the next ten days:

Back to work tomorrow. Lots of stuff happening this month and even though it's only Jan 1st, I'm already kinda wishing it were February. Not sure I'm ready for this

But seeing as though I don't have much choice in the matter, it's off to bed to hopefully have some energy for heading back into the fray!

'Night, hosers.

@limr: Hang in there, babe! Short work week, at least.

It's been a nice holiday, just going out in a deep freeze. Everyone stay warm!

I understand the pain of driving in -16C with a frozen open window. What Gary doesn't understand, as -16 doesn't happen quickly ... like it was 22C in the morning then by afternoon it was -16C ... why was the window ever opened in the first place?

Morning All!

Does anyone on here watch Black Mirror?

The wife and I just watched the first two episodes from Season 1. Wow, very good and thought provoking.

A minute and a few seconds under 5 hours. It's 27 according to my phone.
After I said post office and then home yesterday I remembered normal people had yesterday off. Same thing. Gonna hit the PO and then take my rather chilly self home.

That's not even right, hope your tri tip comes out drier than a popcorn fart....
