I'm connecting via O'Hare, so your tornadic weather reports are making me nervous.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

It's already 62 here. High expected to be in the low 70s. Apparently, there have already been tornado warnings elsewhere in the state. A big chunk of thunderstorms should be hitting soon. Just the usual xmassy weather. When D was born in Tx, it was thundery with tornado warnings and hail. Just keeping up with tradition.

They're saying it might get up into the 70s here ... and I saw forsythia and iris blooming last week.
And I found this amusing. (WARNING: cockroach-related)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, it might get to 70 here tomorrow. Which is ridiculous!! Mostly I don't want to shave my legs, but luckily, I have ita in my head telling me that 60s is very clearly tights weather.

It's supposed to be a high in the mid-50s here, with another storm coming through tonight so who knows what tomorrow will be like.

Today's already shaping up to be a great day. I got paid, got a Christmas bonus, and the cat hair-hiding sofa slipcovers I've been waiting forever for finally showed up as in stock!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
We don't get Christmas bonuses. We get a "Happy Holidays" email from our boss that reminds us to monitor our email while we're out of the office.

I apologize for laughing, Zen. So not funny.

My job would be great if everyone weren't insane.

We get product leftover from the outlet sale. This year, a three-piece serveware set for everyone. Last year, asparagus steamer. Whatever there's a lot of. It's more a gift from the Department Director than a bonus, but that's about as close as it gets.
The only place I've gotten something called a Christmas bonus was Adventure Sports where the owner liked to personally hand us a check on Christmas Eve. Which was a little odd for me just because it isn't something I'm used to, but kinda felt right because it was retail and we all worked really hard in December.
