Mornin!

Mind woke me up at 2:30, after a mere 4.5 hours of sleep. Guess I'll have to find the motivation to get through what is destined to be a sleepy day.

@eric strt6 , you running the generator? How well does your camper keep warm in those temps? Ours would chew through propane once the mercury dipped below 20.

we are wondering what to do about that too. My little one couldn't care less, but the big one is going to be pissed if she can't get socialist handouts. I'm hoping they'll postpone it like other towns, otherwise it might just be local houses instead of the big blowout.

I emailed over my resignation just to get it in writing. Watch the boss come back with a written offer letter this time
:banghead:

the weather forecast currently isn't as bad as it was yesterday, but still calling for t-storms. a number of other townships in the area have already rescheduled. the real kicker is the next 3 days are supposed to be gorgeous, sunny and cool.

where the trails are
Good morning.
This coffe is delicious.
Bike trails will go from a frozen tundra to a muddy disaster later today.
I have to get my snow tires on the car.

Back to a normal school schedule finally. Halloween will be a short up and down the block run with activities across the street. Neighborhood community center usually does something and that was our plan, but it's outside, at the top of a hill, and fully exposed to wind, so we're not sure if we'll do that this year.

Have to do a bunch of work early today and get a .pptx off by 11, then I'm pretty free for the rest of the day. I'm hoping that I can get those boots before Saturday, because we're going up then and I'd like to start the season off with proper fitting stuff.

Delaying Halloween because of rain? WTF.
Switch costumes to the gortons fisherman and get after it.

speaking of rain, I’ll need to swap out my left-outside-on-steps bowl of candy to a colander so it drains while we’re out getting sushi tonight.

I've had a lingering cold for the past two and a half weeks. mostly I just get coughing fits when I lie down. I woke up again last night and I'm just fucking wiped now. I'm so tired that I forgot to drink the coffee I made this morning. ugh.

I had signed up for OT, but FTS. Nobody ever died wishing they had spent more time at work.

Good morning.
This coffe is delicious.
Bike trails will go from a frozen tundra to a muddy disaster later today.
:stupid:
I don't have enough will power to run in this cold either. Guess I'm either hauling out the spin bike for an hour, or maybe I can get in a run this afternoon.
killer breakfast. meatloaf, hashbrowns, eggs.
God damn it, now I want meatloaf.

The lack of Halloween reference in this GMT title is enough to make my great pumpkins itchy. Anyway ffs, I went for a run in the rain this morning, as my facebook feed indicates, then I went and had a cavity fixed at the dentist (a tooth cavity, not an anal cavity). Now my legs are tired and half of my face is numb, so I sit in my cubicle with various discomforts. But, I am in good spirits, no pun intended.

I found a recipe that I'm allowed to eat and it involves bacon. Holy fucks it's good. I had it for dinner the last few nights and it is now in the regulars cycle.

Hello all

I worked my last* 5-10 PM extra shift last night. Then after a pretty normal night of sleep I was woken up by the Halloween-excited kids right in the middle of a deep sleep cycle. Not fully awake then, and not fully awake now.




* "last": haven't signed up for any more. Might reconsider if budget tight from January-April. Come July the section is probably going to go to some mandatory swing shift deal, if we hire enough people...

Too late. My coffee is in my Hydro Flask... laden with 2.5 tbsp or so of MCT oil. Haven't started in on it yet--maybe 10 AM?
