I’ve been sick with a head cold since the night before my birthday last week, but I think it’s subsiding. I feel less and less like death every day. But apparently my cold hopped hosts and has taken out half my team at work. Even with major system malfunctions, smart planning and some intervention by…
This is the Cold that Never Ends
I know you’re tired of hearing about my cold. I hope that my writing about it effectively communicates my agitation at its persistence. Usually I can beat a cold in just a couple of days. I have a pretty strong immune system for the most part. But this little bugger won’t give up. Apparently he’s…
Freezing Weather Mishaps
This past weekend sure was a cold one! At my house, we have a baseboard heating system that runs on water heated by a furnace outside our house. Our landlord kept reminding us to fill the heater with fuel, and we did before it got as cold as it did this week. Unfortunately, whoever put…
Snow Lethargy
I’m not sure if it’s the nice toasty heating system from the central air in this building, the snow outside, or my general lack of sleep as of late, but man – I feel lazy. I’m sorry for the slowness of posts the last two days. It’s been so cold; I feel like I’m cold…
Well the Weather Outside is Frightful
Not really. It’s actually pretty beautiful outside. All this snow all over the mountains and my yard this morning remind me of why I love to live in the mountains. It’s just so pretty outside. It sucks to drive in – not to mention all the cold weather preparations that have to be made in…
Don’t Be Dumb: Avoid Blizzard Fever
Just about everywhere I’ve ever lived there are people who love to do the dumbest things whenever there are weather reports that call for snow or temperatures below 30 degrees F. This week, particularly tonight, the weather is calling for snow. But here’s the thing – the National Weather Service says it’s only going to…
Brr! I Said It’s Cold In Here
Sorry, I was having a flashback to the movie Bring It On for a minute there. This week has been colder than the White House approval ratings! (Zing! Cue Jay Leno’s band that plays music after each of his jokes that aren’t that funny.) But seriously, it’s averaged around 15 degrees F low and maybe…
I am Pregnant (With Thoughts)
There are a lot of things on my mind these days. My priorities seem to shift throughout the day. My hot water pipe seems to have frozen entirely so that no hot water passes through my house. I fear that until the weather warms up it may not unfreeze. I left water running slightly, but…
Get Off Your Butt and Go Outside!
Yes, I know it’s ridiculously cold outside where some of you live. It’s 19 degrees outside right now where I live. Plus, it’s a week day, so you’re probably at work. But guess what lazies? Tomorrow is Saturday. That means you can go outside then. We forget a lot in the winter time to actually…
Now: Sunny, 9 Degrees Farenheit
I just looked down at my ForecastFox Firefox extension, and it says just that, “Now: Sunny, 9 Degrees F.” It’s 9, people! 9! I’m not from the North, nor am I originally from the mountains. When I left my parents’ house on Monday, it was 20 degrees warmer there at around 60 F, so about…
