    Seriously. Has your electric company ever warned you that you will probably lose power tomorrow?

    Our hydro has been saying expect to lose power this weekend. This storm is no joke apparently

    Wow! I guess it’s nice to be forewarned but I had never heard of that before

    Unpacked my boys’ stockings. I hand made each one of those. Two are knitted and one is crocheted.

    Glad I'm home it's nasty out there today. Skate was super fun though.

    I did all the things...and it still doesn't feel like Christmas.

    Wake me up when it's over 😭

    I’m about to drive home from the grocery store and the wind has finally picked up and the snow is finally blowing and it’s the kind of weather that makes me wish I was a scarf person anyway once more into the breach

    I'm only a scarf person on days like this so I can relate. Be safe driving. I hope you're home and warm inside soon ☃️

    Made it! It looks super natural out there

    Locked up the chickens, put some cat food out for cold feral things, and I’ll put out some birdseed in a little while

    Also filled some buckets in case we need them for flushing, filled the dish pan with water and a splash of bleach, and the kerosene heater is ready to go

    If Monday's a day off since Christmas day is on a Sunday.

    If you're in Canada it's off cause it's boxing day and for many the 27th is the day for Christmas.

    Me: It's a day off.
    Boss: I haven't said one way or the other.

    He's on the phone so now I have to wait until he's off. I should have just left without saying goodbye.

    I don't like the boss. If you have to work on Monday will you at least get double time or time and a half?

    All is good. We're off. I should probably email the rest of the staff. :)

    He's actually pretty cool. He was just in the middle of a phone conference at the time and it's hard for me to keep things brief, say goodbye and then text him later about Monday.

    Plus we all work from home if we need to.

    Still in the middle of a wind storm. It’s very cold. Christmas is tomorrow. After Christmas and especially after New Year I always begin to feel a little better. Somewhere in the middle of January the sky sometimes breaks its solid gray & shows bright blue promises. February is a dreary month. They made it a short month because no one could tolerate another two days of that. But anyway my point is that spring is coming. The seed catalogs will be here any day now.

    It's cold and windy here in Toronto and of course I woke up to the furnace needing resetting. It had been good for a couple of days but I'm not surprised it wanted a break since we've been working it pretty hard

    Didn’t maryJ used to have a variety of different pleasant odors? Why does it all smell like roadkill now?

    I’m sick and all I want to do is sleep but I’m at work instead. Gifted with two flights worth of carts from first shift so that helps. Merry Christmas to me! I might only have to make two more flights after the first push so it’s gonna be alright. All I have to do is not pass out.
    Mom says it’s allergies since all I can do is sneeze constantly and my nose is running. Watering eyes, Fatigue, Light cough. My mouth has been drying out though. 🙄 What could be giving me allergies in the winter?

    I had the strangest dream last night.
    I had not listened to his music, had not watched a movie or even heard his name mentioned.
    But I had a blast hanging out with David Bowie. 😂

    The weirdest sensation just now because before I even got to the end of your first sentence I knew it was going to be David Bowie
