Morning all, Typical Tuesday blurf with added possibility of some sort of rain/snow mix predicted just in time for the evening commute. Yay…not! ---

We’ve got flurries this morning, and I even sucked it up and put on my actual winter coat instead of just throwing on a sweater and calling it good enough. Didn’t go so far as to get out the scarves and mitts and hats, though. (Not that I wear more than one hat at a time, of course–think of what it would do to my hair!) **Sticky** , have fun with the iPad! I find that Tapatalk is the best app for surfing the Dope, but I hate touch-typing responses. Gah. But everything else is fun. We live in the future, and I love that. 🙂 **Spaz** , yesterday I saw ALMOND SNICKERS. I did not know such a thing existed, and I can’t wait until my poor abused toothless mouth heals up enough to eat one. ---

RT stands for Roaming Troubadour. Roaming because he’s an OTR truck driver. Troubadour because he could outsing any contestant ever on American Idol or any other one of those shows (and yes, I’m biased, but he really is that good 🙂 ). The best thing about him is he makes you happy. and last of all BLURF! ---

Up, caffeinated, off to work. Hockey and cold weather afterwards. ---

I’m finding my new spinal hardware is not too fond of cold weather. We’re now almost entirely all OS X or IOS at the house, which means no more “Uh, my computer’s acting funny…I think I might have picked up a virus…” The charity stuff is multiplying and overtaking the house. At least that event is in two weeks, so it will all be gone soon. Even better, we have beaten the socks off of another Faire’s contributions. We “sold” 82 pins last year, they sold 93 this year, and to date, we’ve utterly clobbered them with sales of 116 and there’s still two more weeks to go. Some sort of non-fatal chicken for dinner tonight. ---

If anyone is curious, we finally decided to hit Taco Bell last night. Didn’t want to leave anyone hangingl > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > Wow, that DOES sound good. Has anyone had luck scaling it down? . . . When I was in girl scouts, we made something similar in single serving foil packs, cooked on campfire coals. It was simpler. Bacon cut in half and spread on the foil at about the size of a chicken thigh. Then minute rice and mushroom soup, topped with the thigh. Fold the foil into a packet and place on grill set low over coals. I think the scaling depends on the soup can. You don’t want any left over. But if you’re willing to go soupier, or to add more rice, you can scale down as much as you like. > [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Wow! > 🙂 And I’ll add a wow! Not a bad thing, starting the morning with a wow. Heading in for work early and may be awake by the time I get there. So far, I’ve eaten two raw hot dogs. May stop for more on the way in. The cool air outside should help, although it didn’t feel that nippy when I let the dog out. Internet says 55. Looks like no rain this week. Good. I have digging to do. If I get to it. ---

Happy Toosday! It’s a chilly 37 degrees a high of 47. Supposed to snow I hear. I heard there were some flurries this am. So I am home from the hospital. I had a heart attack Friday night and two stents put in yesterday. The doctor went through my wrist instead of the groin, a much quicker recovery period but it _hurt_ like hell. I kept waking up throughout the procedure. So I have to be careful with my right hand for a week or so, but I can start driving tomorrow. No lifting more than 10 pounds for a week or doing anything that puts pressure on my wrist. I’m happy to be home, Sah-son is happy I am home, Sah-dog tried to bite me, but I think I scared him. Poor old guy is half blind and half deaf. I am covered with bruises, stickies, and tape residue. ---

Whoa! **Sari,** glad to hear you’re feeling better. Take care of yourself!! This morning is terribly boring. I woke up today sure it was Thursday, then realized as I was getting in the shower that I couldn’t remember Tuesday or Wednesday. That was disappointing. And it’s very slow in the office today. And very cold outside. I think the only remedy is pancakes for lunch. ---

Thank you {{ **Doggio** }} and {{ **Capt** }} Thank you **Drae** and\*\* Flytrap\*\*. I really am going to have to change my diet and exercise more. I don’t want to do this again. I have to learn to calm down and not let people get to me. I got a shower and I feel more alive. To me it is so amazing how quickly you can get out of the hospital. ---
