The Cold, Cold Weekend

It is currently 29-degrees outside. After the weekend we just experienced, it feels like we are having a heat wave!

Stay warm, everyone!

(Postscript:  The weather really is the hot topic at the moment, ha ha!)

The Blank Post

Somehow I created a blank entry on this blog today.

I do believe it was one of my best posts!

But now I've ruined it by actually writing something. 😜

Please forgive me for not writing anything more spectacular.

It is so cold here that I think my brain waves are frozen. Brrrrr....

The "Tail" of the Black Box

This afternoon at work I was summoned into the owner's office. He was slowly taking the lid off of a black box and I was to look inside at the contents.

My initial thought was, "This is some sort of trick," so I proceeded with caution.

Here is what I saw:

The owner's wife had trapped this little guy inside of their house. They didn't want to put him out into the cold, so the owner brought him to the office — which is what everyone does after they find live rodents in their homes.

When I first met this little mouse, his fate was yet to be decided. By the end of the day, he was granted a temporary home at our workplace. He will be the mascot in one of our medical classrooms.

The plan is to release him into the wild this Spring if he lives that long... and if we don't get too attached to him.

Lenny, the Lab Mouse.

BLIZZARD!

It's pretty bad outside as I type this.

I did go to work this morning; Lew drove me. He wanted to stop at Mr. Bagel on the way, but it was closed! A lot of places were closed for the entire day.

Our office was pretty much shut down by 2pm. My supervisor goes right by my house on her way home (depending on what route she takes), so I hitched a ride home with her. She thought she had two scrapers/brushes in her car, so we were all set to team up to get her car cleaned off... but apparently her husband had removed both items for some reason! So we used our gloved hands and one of her credit cards. Credit cards do make great scrapers.

I am ready for the blizzard to end now, but I don't think it really cares about my wishes.

Dad 391: Weather or Not

(*No... don't bring it on! Enjoy Dad's post! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Today was a beautiful day and the temperature went above 20° for the first time in several days. Huge snowstorm for tomorrow and back into frigid air for the next few days (perhaps the coldest weather in 100 years). Probably about a foot of snow tomorrow! Bring it on!*

 

Not much to say tonight except everyone is now back to their work and school. Seems to be normal except for the cold, cold weather. Seems like the big news is the weather. Spring is only a few months down the road. Can't wait.

 

Tune in next week and I'll try to have a better blog. That's it for now!

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!

Cold

On this 2nd day of 2018, I have only one question:

"Where is my global warming?????"

Brrrrr!!!!!

Happy New Year!

Have you made any New Year's resolutions?

I'm not calling them resolutions. Instead I have a phrase for the year 2018: Follow through.

This is the year I will read some big books that I've had sitting around ("big" as in content and number of pages). 

Lew has been wanting to "de-clutter" our kitchen cabinets and the back room upstairs, so that's finally going to happen.

And — of course — I'm going to eat better and exercise regularly. Really... I mean it this time.

There are other things I'd like to accomplish during 2018, so stay tuned to find out if I follow through!
