  Good morning Motley Meese! Hope your weekend was lovely. Snow again here. 3rd accumulating snow so far this year, more than we had all last winter.


  PLEASE Don’t Recommend the check-in diary! 

        Fierces on the weather jar comment are still welcome.

The check-in is an open thread and general social hour. Come back when time allows through the day – the conversation continues.

It’s traditional but not obligatory to give us a weather check where you are and let us know what’s new, interesting, challenging or even routine in your life lately. Nothing is particularly obligatory here except:

Always remember the Moose Golden (Purple?) Rule:

Be kind to each other… or else.

What could be simpler than that, right?

    Monday’s forecast high: 55. Yep, it’s all down hill from here…high only in the 30’s tomorrow. On Sunday all 3 of the DC area airports saw new record highs – and all occured between 7 and 8 AM!

    Off to the Ortho today to see if they can do anything for my left shoulder. Old, I am it.

    Actually it does feel like Friday a bit. Lots of folks are off all week, many are off today through Wednesday, a whole sleigh-load are off tomorrow, especially after noon.

    19 degrees here, feels like 9. The temperature is on its way down, overnight low expected to be 2 below.

    We got about 7 inches of snow Saturday night and through yesterday. It was light and fluffy although what the late afternoon plows pushed back into the driveway was pretty heavy.

    I am going to post a placeholder for the Utah court watch (stealing some things from HappyinVT’s post). Things won’t happen until those Mountain Time Zone people wake up and start their day but it will be there and waiting.

    Busy day as I try to make up for not working this weekend. Most people won’t understand that it was my holiday weekend and so I was Supposed to Get Stuff Done.

    Later …

    projected high of 58. Same weird pattern as Iriti’s except we have heavy rain. I have to run all over town today so it won’t be fun. First stop acupuncture. Hope it’s a good day for all with the temperature you most prefer! Now a quick glance at the news.

    will knock them off in the next two or three hours – if I haven’t pulled my hair out by the roots.

    I just finished grading one classes finals yesterday – what could possibly be wrong with students who have to do a 15 page (minimum) research paper, with citations from one ethnographic text and at least two peer reviewed journal articles, who hand in as a final 6  or 7 pages? Who cite youtube videos?  Who pad the 6 or 7 pages they submit with pictures?  Who triple space and have extra-wide borders?

    ARGH!

    I don’t even read them – they get an automatic F.

    I will now be forced to deal with whines for the next two months about whyyyyyyyy their grades were low, or whyyyyyyyy they failed.

    Okay – I dumped my crap on y’all – I need more coffee 🙂

    I am doing well – very little pain. I’ll start cutting back the pain meds to one every four hours today. Playing with my new toy… a Kindle Fire HDX iriti thought would keep me from going nuts. Also using my new Canon 24-70mm f/2.8… coffee cup. I haz a coffee cup that looks like a lens to my camera. Very cool. We did gifting Thursday night before my surgery so I could enjoy it. Wasn’t sure what shape I’d be in on Christmas day.

    So, Friday was sandals weather, it froze last night & will freeze again tonight. Right now, it is clear & 31. Craziness — for Austin this is just crazy cold. We don’t get this many freezes until February.

    Anyway, I’m drinking my tea & eating breakfast. Can’t wait til the antibiotics are done, this 1 hour after or 2 hours before with the food is really annoying. But the pain is so much less — still brick red, but that’s way better than Rudolph red, right?

    Today: print movie tix while I’m where there’s a printer, library after work — 1st book in a trilogy a friend told me about that’s about a boy learning to be a wizard & it’s completely different from Harry Potter; and the grocery store because I’m out of valerian & low on B vitamins. The doctor said I should stop using herbal sleep aids since they rarely actually are what they say, but even if it’s just a placebo effect, I’ll take it.

    amount of freezing rain over the week-end so my car is a solid block of ice.  The doors cannot be opened (yet).  I’ll try warm water on the driver’s door so I can at least get in and start the defrosters.  

  9. Diana in NoVa

    here in Northern Virginia. We were late as usual leaving this morning, but the Parkway was a breeze today! “The Earth is Our Mother” song lasted all the way to the turn signal on Elden Street, which is unusual.

    Still behind, of course!  I do need to get things done in the next three hours. Tomorrow afternoon Miss Pink Cheeks and I will make tiny mince pies to heat and serve along with the flaming Christmas pudding on Christmas day. She told me Daddy promised they could make chocolate chip cookies pretty soon. Hope she still likes to cook when she’s 12! At age 4 and 3/4 quarters, she is an absolute delight.

    Last night I watched “The Sound of Music” all the way through AGAIN. When it’s on, I can’t not watch it. Same with “A Christmas Story,” which I’ll watch tomorrow night.  There’s someone round the corner from us (evidently someone with a strong sense of humor) who places a Leg Lamp in the window every year and of course turns it on every night. I simply love seeing it as I drive past in winter darkness.

    Hope everyone will have a good day!

    Yesterday was a very fun day…..time in the garage making arrangements using  greens, twigs and holly collected from the neighborhood, an then the Appalachian Christmas concert. While the music was traditional, the stage was simple with just one Christmas Tree and a scrim with simple changing images. The simplicity kept the focus on the six musicians and their talent. Amazing that instruments traditionally used for Bluegrass music can be used is so many other ways.
