This is what they call “ice fog”. It has the killer combination of reducing visibility to zero and retaining a super cold temperature.

Announcement

Perhaps you’ve heard, but I’m no longer continuing my Food Diary. Effective a few days ago. I would really like to continue, but I have too many other Big Boy responsibilities, that I just don’t have the time. And if I have to choose between planning a menu for the week or documenting said menu, I choose planning the menu. It just makes sense (no chicken without the egg). Although I would have liked to finish the year up, it just wasn’t going to happen. Rather than keep it up half-heartedly, I decided instead to pull the plug. I hope you enjoyed it, and perhaps even got inspired.

Today was my first Monday by myself…and we did 281 prescriptions. What’s that smell? Yes, that is the sweet smell of success. Also a slight hint of exhaustion, stress, hunger, and a waft of desperation. Although I did skip lunch and kept working. Bad idea, by 2:30, I was getting dizzy, so I got one of the techs to get me a hot dog and icee, stat.

What Is In My Fridge

I occasionally enjoy a cup of coffee, which I make in my french press (because, yes, I am Mr. Fancy Pants). But I can never drink more than one cup at a time, so I put the leftovers in the fridge.

My fridge occasionally decides it wants to be extra good and gets really cold, sometimes freezing the contents. I found frozen onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and today frozen coffee, which does make for a pretty picture. I would just turn the temperature up, but when I did that, it got too warm and I noted condensation on my cheese (and no one wants sweaty cheese).

Where Is My Luggage

Finally in my cold grubby hands. And yes everything is still here.

Oh, and what’s this the airline has given me 50 free airline miles, for all my trouble. I guess we’re even steven. Because 50 airline miles totally is the same thing as a 2 day delay and an extra day to get your luggage back.

Less anyone is worried, we will be having a White Christmas….and I’m pretty sure a White New Year, White Martin Luther King Jr. Day, White Valentine’s Day, and possibly a White National Pig Day.

So I finally made it into Seattle. I found out the sitch, it appears that Seattle is full of pansies that don’t know how to handle the snow. And they don’t know how to stock pile de-icer.
