The snow, it has begun. And my head hurts, dammit. ---

Happy Thorsday! It’s a N.O.S. 50 degrees outside. Tomorrow it’s supposed to snow. It’s been a lazy day. ---

Snow? Really? Our forecast is for sunny and windy. I’m about to kill a bunch of trees - I’ve got to print out a pile of drawings for approval. But first I need to know if I put the new boss’ name in the approver’s block or just let him initial it as is. It’s been done both ways here. Someone needs to give guidance. Less than an hour to go - yay! ---

Polar bears will rip your head off your shoulders, but they will look cute doing it… Did some car-looking today, I think I have narrowed down my choices to the Chevy Traverse, Honda Pilot, and Nissan Pathfinder. If any MMP’ers own any of those vehicels, comments and recommendations are welcome. Stopped at a new hamburger and fries shop, verdict is ‘not too bad, but not worth a special trip’. ---

The temp has dropped a bit. I might even have to _gasp_ turn the heat on tonight before beddy bye. **Butters** you might want to drag out the woolies and the fur coat. ETA: First on Four! ---

Internet is down for the foreseeable future in my apartment. ☹ I’m at the family house now. But hey, my dad’s back from the hospital 🙂 ---

Home with my drugs. I had to stop pick up a couple of refills at CVS - cost me a buck anna half!!! And that was for 2 generic 90-day refills. Guess that’s the advantage of paying $500/mo for health insurance. Supper will be grab whatever. I kinda wanted sketties, but not enough to thaw the sauce, so I may end up having a sammich or some leftover soup. ---

Yep, we are supposed to get snow showers\*\* FCM\*\*. We’ll see but I put off getting groceries until Saturday. Glad your dad is back home **Midget**. My stomach is killing me today, my fault for taking my pills on an empty stomach. I ate too much last night and didn’t feel like eating this morning, but I took my pills anyway. No animal that looks at me and thinks _lunch_ is cute, no matter how cute they are. I have decided Godiva are the best chocolates, followed by Lindt, with Ghirardelli coming in last place. Ghirardelli lost points too, for making it so damn hard to get the chocolates out of the package. ---

Yay, **EmilyDad**! Thanks for reminding me to stop at CVS tomorrow, **Mooom**. It’s the expensive prescriptions this time out, but I’ve just now met my deductable. Usually, that comes around April, so I’ve been in somewhat better health this year. Supper tonight is cabbage rolls from the freezer and a salad. ---

Majik Intartoobz Pizza was ingested and chill mode has ensued. Gettin’ colder outside. I think before long we shall retire to the boudoir to watch teevee until sleepy time. **Midget** yay for your dad bein’ home! Boo on the intartoobz connection. ---

Ghirardelli lost points too, for making it so damn hard to get the chocolates out of the package. I agree with this ranking, except I would put Dove in there somewhere. ---

Ghiradelli is my favorite “expensive” chocolate. Dove is the lowest on my list. But I’ll always take a Hershey bar above all. ---

Dove is the lowest on my list. But I’ll always take a Hershey bar above all. Sarris and their fundraiser bars are the BEST. Second place goes to a company south of here as well by the name of Redstone. None of the big international/national brands ever grabbed me much.
