I have to go back to work today. I am not ready and wish I had a few more days off, but I’ll be the only one there today, so I don’t have much of a choice. Besides, I have a doctor’s appointment today. It’s a regular check up. I had been forced to reschedule because I had COVID when my original appointment a couple of months ago. I have several things I want to discuss with my doctor, so I am eager for this appointment.
Going to work today might not be so bad if we weren’t having a snow storm today, though looking outside, it doesn’t look like it’s as bad as it was expected. We’ve probably gotten about an inch so far, but we are expecting up to 8” today. I doubt we’ll get that much snow. It really shouldn’t (🤞) affect my commute to and from work. The worst should come after I get to work, and when I head home, whatever snow has fallen should have been cleared from the roadways.
For a little bit of humor this morning: as I was typing the title to this post, my predictive text kicked in and when I had “Back to the G” typed, predictive text suggested “Grindr.” I guess this phone (I typed this quickly on my phone this morning) knows it’s owned by a gay man. 😂🏳️🌈

We’re supposed to have snow this evening…I started feeling bad on NYE and I don’t have the energy to go to the grocery store! I was at a Prime Timer’s dinner on Saturday and then we had a little NYE gathering at my retirement community…at both events friends discussed my poor health..and I’ve now spent the first two days of 2025 in bed with a sore throat…B

Here in SW London we have blue skies but it’s freezing. Currently it is 1C outside and it may increase to 3C if we are lucky. I am stuck at home with a running cold, but to hell, I’m using the time productively reorganising my indoor DIY workshop and oiling all my tools and reburbishing labels.
