I want to make it clear that I'm not leaving bcuk right away...it will take me awhile to build a new blog site...and I'll still have the roasting dt blog, on here, probably.
Well, it's a bitter cold morning on my side of the pond...minus 9 F...that's minus 22 C, by the way. Brrr! I had to set my thermostat all the way up to 78 F, just to get it to be 64 F, in here! It was 52 F in my bedroom, when I woke up this morning--with cats all snuggled around me...they don't like the cold.
I've a fever and chills this morning...not sure why, I feel slightly light-headed and have a wicked stomach ache, so I guess I must have caught that bug that's been going around the office. I can't spare the $20 for a phone card and can't call in sick, so I guess I'll have to get dressed and walk into the office and work my shift today...it's only a slight fever anyway, I'm not bed-ridden or anything like that, I can cope for 4 hours, very probably...but I'll be dead-tired when I get home, I reckon. Meh-I'll be fine, I'm sure.
Parts of my state are under a winter storm watch today, but not us, we're too far north, I guess...it's going to hit about 50 to 75 miles south from what I hear, in the Catskill Mountains north of New York City, into the western Massachusetts border. If we get any snow at all, it won't be until later tonight, and will only be a dusting to a few inches, so no worries there. It's the cold that's going to be a...well, it's not going to be fun. It's going to be as low as minus 22 or minus 23 C, again tonight...but then it will be in the low 20's F, by tomorrow afternoon, so the deep freeze won't be an all-day thing, at least...but we're in for a very bad deep freeze mid-week, with temps ranging from minus 15 C down to minus 23 C possilby for a few days. Guess I better wash all my thermal undies, on Monday...gonna' need 'em...gotta' keep the old backsides warm and toasty. ![]()
