Yeaaaahhhh, if you're not seeing any improvement, it's probably time.

Wet, heavy snow. I finished my walkway and a little more than half the sidewalk with mini-breaks. Now taking a full-on break. Tomorrow may be a bus to work day - not sure I have the stamina to dig out the car. Or work from home day.

Stilll beautiful, though. For all the trouble, still just lovely.

I'm looking at proof that Corgi mixes are the cutest. I haven't seen a name for a Corgi-Jack Russell mix. Corjack?

65 degrees. that is where it starts to feel normal.

hands still cold to touch.

it's 1pm. If it was not month end, I would have gone home.

as it is, I am done with month end stuff, about to send in my closed notice and I wanna go home and hibernate.

I am now at the stage of wanting the surgeon to come out and tell us something because I'm hungry.

Hungry in a hospital is the worst.

fingers crossed surgery is successful and done soon.

I was going to say I know where all the food is at my usual hospital, but not in a surgical waiting room, I don't. Woe!

I could go to the cafeteria and get food but she should be done soon and I don't want to miss the surgeon.

Oh, I totally understand that! I was just thinking, "OK, vending machine in ER waiting room, little kitchen with snacks on the floors...."

Glad to hear it's going well, Dana.

Don Cheagle is a brilliant name for a dog. Next dog I get, I'm coming here for ideas.

The run was slow and painful, I walked almost all the hills. But my average pace was under 13 minutes/mile, and it was 5.2 miles with lots of hills, so I'll take it. Also, hella muddy up on the ridge, and when I got back to the car I had to spend ten minutes digging mud out of my shoes.

Zombies, Run! spoilers for S2: they found Jack! YAY! He's not dead, and Eugene will stop being crazy obsessive and risking people's lives looking for him now. So cute, they are.

I love Don Cheagle as well. My friend in high school had a dog named Virginia Woof, which I also loved.
