Speaking of, someone wanted to hit the dispo in advance of the “ZOMG do not leave your house!” cold snap in a coupla days, PLUS a random F.B. post reminded me that there’s a local tavern/eatery up the street that has a nice takeout menu & decent prices.
I’ve only gotten from them once so far, but I believe I shall hafta remedy that.
Got their $10 box lunch “adult grilled cheese” which has baby spinach, tomato slices, and grilled onions (all of which I love) and it will definitely keep me going this afternoon.
Upon return, I opened the side door for Monkey Mr. Zoomies, who is unhappy about the cold, wet stuff everywhere outside but even unhappier if I close the door again.
I shoved my lemon tree into the open door so it could get a few moments of sun & turned off the heat. (Note to self: turn heat back ON!)
At least I don’t gotta shovel, today - and yesterday’s exit to work wasn’t nearly as bad as I’d thought - however, when I woke up, the weather app said “Wind expected!”
Well, the branches out my window weren’t moving a bit, so I piffled a little at the lying weather guessers & dismissed their warning.
Getting into my car earlier, the wind slammed the door shut so hard that if I hadn’t juuust pulled my leg in a moment earlier, I wouldn’t be surprised at a fracture.
Speaking of leg owies, my ankle is feeling nominally better. I’m sure that’s because I’ve barely stood or walked since getting home yesterday evening.
Plus I have a customizable heating pad old mate-less sock filled with rice hot outta the microwave wrapped around it right now, which is at minimum superficially soothing.
Time to give the ratties a biiiiiig meal, refill their water bottles, and find myself a pair of warm socks. I have fleece-lined leggings & some long-sleeved shirts to wear under my work polo.
