After record setting warm we're cooling off for a few days, may even get snow on Thursday.

Back home where it's 20°C colder.

I must start avoiding the news…I can't do anything about US agression and it's hard to watch diplomacy become worthless.

in reply to CheckIn Posting

Sigh. My/our Canadian neighbors up Nord I speak with irl are being less polite. I'm no diplomat. I do my best not to piss you off more. Sorry.
in reply to CheckIn Posting

Back to somewhat warmer weather for a while.
There is still time for major storms to paralyze the area. Those usually happen around the middle of February.
in reply to CheckIn Posting

I'm re-reading manga (The Gate), while avoiding 'the news'...I'm currently re-watching movies from the 80's as well. Tonight it's Weird Science and War Games
in reply to CheckIn Posting

I am watching Star Trek PIcard to avoid the news. It makes me feel better. I don't know why, but it does.

Watching Waiting... Made a New Soup Recipe today (Bacon Soup) for breakfast rotation over the next week. Came out nice, savory and filling.

MTG has now left the Building of the Failing Congress.

Another Republican Congressman, from CA, Doug LaMalfa died on Tuesday during an emergency surgical procedure. He represented CA
s 1st District. the Northern Rural District spanning from the Oregon border down to just north of the capital of Sacramento.

It's likely his seat will remain empty until the state Primary in June.

One by one their control of the house is failing.

May Eris and Hermes Take their revenge upon these criminals and co-conspirators in the grand conspiracy of greed, racism, hatred and cruelty that is the current administration.

Good morning. Still here. cloudy and getting warmer Here. trying to disconnect from the news because everything is so upsetting. we'll try to spend a quiet day without too many interruptions.

Still hot on the trail of my medical records from when I was in the hospital in July which I never saw, which were never connected to the app which I just learned about, and to which my own doctor has no access. When I did my virtual visit yesterday with her I learned that even she doesn't have privileges to get into my records. No one ever told me the results of any of my tests or gave me any information. I was simply treated like a piece of meat during the five days I was there and shipped out to a rehab facility without any information at all about what had happened to me other than that I had had a stroke. I only learned about a week ago that an app for patient access was available, and have spent two days trying to get connected. So dang frustrating!

in reply to CheckIn Posting

By accident I watched the first two episodes of Star Trek Voyager yesterday. Rewatched actually, but so much in that I had already forgotten. Neelix hasn't changed, has he.

A snow storm is brewing, as are temperatures clearly below -10C the next few days. I like it, but doggo more frequently complains last few days because grit and ice lumps stick to his paws. I hope colder means this happens less often now.

Also, I modded my Das Keyboard with pudding type keycaps I had bought in an HP yard sale ages ago. Fun! Typing on it now. If you have no idea what this means, it means this:
