It's trying to be sunny here.
We're about to hand over our business of 34 years....it feels like I'm sending a child out into the world. There may be some empty nest syndrome happening here...but I doubt it.

It hit 20C today and was sunny. Even with last January in mind, it was quite the day as it was only supposed to reach 10 or 12.
Tonight was chicken taco night, thanks to Trader Joe's.

Very tasty. We each wished we could have eaten 30. They are taquitos, really small. And delicious.
How's the little potato?

*Yawn* indeed.
I don't know anything about hapkido.
We are waiting the arrival of a powerful line of storms in 12-14 hours. For the while it seems that we are going to suffer clear skies and warm temperatures.
Oof, I need to go to work.

As long as they're nothing like the storms they had in Queensland, pero!
I am officially approved to graduate from my course.

They shouldn't be, lefty. 2.5 to 5 cm of rain only, and strong winds (ugh). As long as it falls throughout the night, I can deal with that. Please not all in an hour, I don't want the gutters to overflow. And no electricity outage, of course.
Congratulations on graduating!

Congrats, tlefty!
What a morning. Get up before 6 a.m. to hear that it's -33C, and I didn't plug my car in last night. Fingers crossed it starts.
It did start, that's great, and I get to the airport in time (I'm going to work). Except that they tell me as I check in that my flight is delayed... by 4 hours.
At least I got a chance to tell them I don't eat meat, so when they bring us breakfast there will be an option other than bacon/sausage mcmuffins. But sitting around the airport for an additional 4 hours is just not that much fun.
It's almost worth driving home for a couple hours, but I'd have no excuse NOT to do housework if I did that... at least here I can just sit and read with a clear conscience!

Thanks, Scrubb!
Dumb question - what's with the plugging in of cars? Is it an electric car or is it some kind of anti-freezing exercise?

"Only 35", I like your way of thinking. I'm 55 and I am still not growned up.
4 hours!!?? Eek. At least the airport is heated.

Thanks, Scrubb! Dumb question - what's with the plugging in of cars? Is it an electric car or is it some kind of anti-freezing exercise? The latter - every car sold here has an engine heater built in. That's what gets plugged in.

Well, my battery is getting low and my adaptor is packed in my checked bag, so I guess I"m about to be cut off from the world... Hmm. Wonder if I'll finish The Night Circus before I get to work? I probably have nearly 4 hours of reading time. If I manage to stay awake.

safe flight, Scrubb! Congrats, lefty!
And don't worry about growing up. I am older than you by a few years, but still haven't decided what I want to be when/if I do grow up.
