I got up and dressed, put on my fancy boot, and crutched out to feed the cats. And now I'm tucked back in bed, foot elevated, and looking through my coloring book. I slept well at least.
Sometimes a thing gets broke, can't be fixed.

How is it only 11am? I have been at work for 3 hours and it feels like FOREVER.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It's snowing, finally!
And yesterday I spent all my spending money on birdseed, 75 pounds worth, which I immediately regretted but now am really glad I did! The wind blew over my birding station so I had to reset everything, but they are going to be glad I did. And I am going to be happy to sit in my rocking chair and drink tea and watch them. I'm such an old lady already, aren't I? Oh, well, at least I'll be prepared when the time comes.

o the know what aisles I stopped in??
Yes. Stores use facial recognition and monitoring cameras to know where you stop and when. Awesome info on this in a four minute video from the Center for Investigative Reporting and NPR: [link] I tell you, it's not the NSA we should worry about. It's companies.
I filed my taxes this AM. WOOT.

That is super creepy, Kat. Eek.
Still irked and awake from the construction. And my throat still hurts. Stupid sickness.

Well, hell. I thought I was in pretty good health but I just got my blood test results and my cholesterol is wicked high. My doctor will want to put me on statins, I'm sure of it. But I don't wanna! Don't wanna be on medication for the rest of my life.
I'm going to try to cut a deal with him: give me two months to get it down through diet. Which means no cheese, no cookies, no beef, no bacon. Basically a vegan diet, sigh. Good thing I got the Runner's World cookbook for Christmas, which has lots of tasty-looking low-fat recipes in it.
Well, maybe it'll help my running.

Consuela, my doc recommmended I try red yeast rice supplements because she doesn't like putting someone my age (I think we're close in age?) on statins. You could look into that if diet doesn't help.

Do you eat oatmeal? (Do you like oatmeal?)
I've worked here 9 months and 5 of my 25 coworkers have lost a parent in that time - one of them, both parents. Does that seem like a lot? Maybe it's just I have a lot more coworkers in their 50s than I have at previous workplaces.

It's 46 degrees and I've been so reset by polar vortices that I washed my car. Even had to take off my fleece. And it doesn't feel 'cold' outside to me.
It'll get all salted up within days, but it was making me nuts.
I have my fancy new sander! But now I'm dreading the dust.
I'm more concerned with the unregulated collection and aggregation of data done by the corporate world than I am the gov't's attempts to do the same. I know how (in)efficient and disorganized the gov't is.The corporate world has a much bigger, soulless incentive.
