Not offhand, but I'll look her up and get back to you.

ETA it's Enlighted Designs

Thanks, -t!

Someone is having some fun with the weather conditions. [link]

And with a current temp of -2 and wind chill of -22, police in a Chicago neighborhood are warning people to be on the lookout for a guy in a ski mask who tried to assault a woman walking her dog. Seriously?

Give Me One Reason, the Tracy Chapman song? How is that gaslighting?

Hah, no, the Pink song. The guy part sings "I'm sorry I don't understand where all of this is coming from, I thought that we were fine. Your head is running wild again my dear we still have everything and it's all in your mind. You've been having real bad dreams..." Etc.

I am awake because I could not stop coughing. Wtf, body? I was fine last night. Or at least, mostly so. Maybe just too dry in here.

It's so hot here today! In the 40s.

I'm WFH today and probably will be tomorrow, and I do not want to be. But if I'm going to be trapped inside, I've decided to alternate among Getting Work Done and Cleaning All the Things and Sports Night episodes.

Well, that explains my confusion! I haven't heard the Pink song, I don't think.

I was gonna take the train to work today, but I lost a scarf and the one I have left isn't long enough to cover my face, so I managed to get my car unstuck and took that to work.

So today I'll try to pick up a scarf or ski-mask and long underwear. If the store hasn't sold out of winter stuff yet.

Dang, I do not envy Chiberia. It's going to be 50 here, which while not LA type weather, is still warm enough! It's quite foggy at the moment.

Shrift, that seems like an excellent plan.

I have some reports to write (that I really need to do, one is due tomorrow and one Thursday but I should get them done), and then a PT appointment at 10AM, so I'm like "but I can't REALLY get anything done before I have to leave for PT, so...". Ugh. (And I'm also waiting on my boss to drop a load of "we need you to do this ASAP' stuff, since they know I'm free this week).

Speaking of LA weather, it rained last night rather unexpectedly. At least we weren't expecting it, but had managed to bring the bikes onto the back porch anyway so we were basically prepared for it. Today is sunny with no hint of rain. Go figure.

So we have all this cold weather, but in England they had a catnado. Happily, no cats were injured.

BBC News - Chobham 'mini-tornado lifted cats in air'

Shirley Blay, who keeps horses at the Jolly Blossom Stables on Station Road, Chobham, told BBC Surrey: "It was a mini-tornado, I can't describe it as anything less.

Shirley Blay said the shed was thrown backwards and broke into four pieces

"It started with very heavy rain, hailstones and very strong wind and all of a sudden, the wind was very, very strong, to the point of lifting roofs.

"Stable roofs were shaking and lifting and my granddaughter went to make a feed up for the pony and the shed she was in lifted.

"She jumped out of it and it just shattered, it was thrown backwards and broke into four pieces.

"We've got four feral cats in the yard and they were being lifted off the ground - about 6ft off the ground - they just went round like a big paper bag."

She said the people and animals who were caught up in the storm were uninjured.
