I'm also rearranging my schedule tomorrow in case I can go in and get bloodwork done in the morning.

I have truly settled into the winter mindset when I can look at the weather forecast, see a high of 41 and a low of 36 and think "wow, balmy." Of course, I also can't see the other side of the parking lot for the snow, but the winds are light and it probably won't freeze up for the commute, so it's a pleasant mild day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Best to your mother, Laura.

Eee! What's especially fun is that I can watch it with no sound on and 100% hear it in my head.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Connie, my cousins sent me a picture of their backyard covered in snow. I thought of you.

I just completed a survey about cancer meds, and I'd better get the promised check. It was arduous.

I'm headed out to Murray, UT on Wednesday. I'm hoping the roads here and there have had a chance to be cleared.

Ugh Ginger, although yay for incentive money.

Our wings are not tired
We are the opposite of a food desert. Within 4 miles we have 3 TJ's, 2 Whole Foods, Gelsons, 3 Ralphs, 2 Vons, 1 Food For Less, 2 Ranch Markets, and I'm sure I'm missing half a dozen more.

Midweek is supposed to be clear and in the 50s.
I thought of you.
I sometimes wonder if you've been here during winter and how you cope.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We're lucky enough in our little university town to have a TJ's, a community food co-op and a farmers' food co-op, two or three Fred Meyers, and the aforementioned Haggen stores. There used to be Food Pavilions, including an upscale version called The Market, but they were bought out and then closed. The farmers' co-op is in that location, now. There are a few Safeways, and a Whole Foods is opening soon. We're also lucky to have specialty grocers, Asian, Oriental, and European Markets, the last specializing in deli foods and Russian foods. And there are numerous small neighborhood grocery stores. There's also a farmers' market in season, and frequent roadside farm and local honey stands.
We shop Freddies and the co-ops for basics, bulk foods, coffee, and spices, what produce we don't find at farmstands, or grown by neighbors. We don't have a TJ's diet and lifestyle, but we do shop the Asian market for vegetables and different rices.
