Still Cold

Morning … It’s still super cold here but were supposed to almost be above freezing today.  Of course once the day turns to night it will be back in the freezer. 

The colder temperatures aren’t good for my skin, it dries out especially my hands.  I am not a big fan of gloves so it’s kind of my own fault.  I hate the winter itch and I’ve had it already and ready to kick it to the curb.  Not much of a hand lotion kind of guy, that sticky feeling sucks.  However, I will be putting some on because I know my skin is crying out for help. 

I’ve still got my cough and feel some sinus pressure and have had a couple minor headaches.  Not sure what did it to me but something I ate yesterday didn’t agree with me.  I feel fine now (other than the sinus stuff).  Kleenex is sure making a profit off of me, I’m going through tissues like they are going out of style. 

On the work front yesterday I got a surprise that one of my last two office friends was leaving.  Yesterday was her last day.  Sadly she only came into the office after the pandemic sparsely and worked from home.  She was just mandated to come back and they also changed her job duties to something she had no idea on how to do, so she left.  This place is turning into some place that I am slowly starting not to recognize.  Lots of dumb policies and rules.  I really don’t want to start over but hearing stuff like this just further cements that bad taste in my mouth.  I am happy to have a job but if I didn’t need the money I sure wouldn’t work where I am.  As they say, this too shall pass and life will go on. 

I should be in the office today and had planned for it last week but based on the cold and the way I feel I opted to just stay put.  Less contact with germs and I can be closer to the cats as well as relax a little bit. 

I only have one dumb meeting today and hope that it passes quickly with no “bad news”.  Not sure about you but I am already over not only winter but this year.  Ready to fast forward a bit even though it would age me. 

Didn’t really want to eat supper last night.  Had some yogurt and a muffin.  Then later snacked on some yogurt pretzels and a Diet Root Beer.  Had to fend off Rudy who really wanted to check out the pretzels.  If I didn’t know better I would think he wasn’t being fed.  His stomach wasn’t being kind to him yesterday so I imagine he might have been a little hungry but he got treats. 

Well here’s hoping that today is just “an average day” and there are no more unpleasant surprises.  I wouldn’t mind a positive surprise but then again I don’t know anyone who would object to a positive surprise. 

Hope that all is well in your world, that your comfortable and well.  Thanks for dropping by.
