One Year After. It's a trilogy now. https://smile.amazon.com/John-Matherson-Second-After-Final-ebook/dp/B06Y158VZC/ I've only read the first one. If you search by the author, One Second After and One Year After are available in Kindle Unlimited if you subscribe to that.

I've made breakfast "cups" before. Was doing low carb, so a bit of cooked ground breakfast sausage and some roasted radish in the bottom of an 8 ounce mason jar, then frozen. To eat, heat it up in the microwave, then crack an egg into it, stir, and heat again until the egg is cooked to your liking.

A friend of mine performed our wedding ceremony. He's blind. He put his initials on our marriage certificate where it says signature. They asked, all I had to do was say "He's blind," and they moved right along without further question.

*blinks* Ours is in a cooler up towards the front. Not locked or anything. Never heard of them questioning someone about it. Must be a regional thing.

I can buy it at the grocery store. Ask!

Would you be interested in a bunch of Happy Planner stickers and such? As it turns out, I’m doing good to write in a planner. Forget about making it all pretty!

I’m just going to leave these here…

Annarchy, we hit that on the way home from church last night. Tumbleweeds like crazy. PIssed off the front sensor on my car to no end when one decided to get stuck in the front grill!

Going to be at work until late tonight...and tomorrow night...then half the day on Saturday. That's just to record someone who's doing some trainings - we're also starting the actual construction part and working on getting portables cleared out. Plus they're talking about not hiring a replacement for my assistant. Plus the person who does our social media is leaving. Guess what's going to get added into my job description again? I need to come up with cumulative list and ask them what they DON'T want to get down, 'cause I'm not going to work 60 hours a week every week.

We didn't even get enough snow to cover the weeds. Boo.

Not as much snow as anticipated. Interstate was good this morning, but other roads not so much. I'm at work, and will make sure I head out before it starts to get dark and things begin to cool more.

Everybody's home. We have plenty of propane and I picked up CO detectors, so we should be good to go...

We're working on battening down the hatches at work, then I'll head home and do the same there!

Power better stay on - our camper is still down at my parents' house! We do have enough heaters and a generator that we'd make it through alright. Reminder to set: Tell hubby to go fill the propane tanks tonight. I'm planning on being the only one in the office on Thursday - I'll bring in my lunch, and will probably transfer the phones to my cell phone Wednesday night in case I can't get to the office.

Getting ready to batten down the hatches for cold later this week. High of 26F on Thursday! Had a rather social weekend. Started working on an apron made entirely of rectangles today. Got it cut out and started pressing the seams and everything up to the point where I really have to get the sewing machine out…but that will be for another day..

Our Walmart had a huge amount on and end cap.

There’s definitely more than just the Boston Tea Party. https://www.harney.com/blogs/news/tea-war-part-two (Part one is linked in the article, and mostly focused on the Boston Tea Party)

…if I’m on a date and the guy DOESN’T have a knife, odds are it’s not going to work out…and I DO have a knife.

So…definitely just sinus headaches from it being so dry. I’ll pick up a small humidifier for my office tomorrow on my way in. my weighted blanket came in this weekend. Used it last night - I think I’m in love. I didn’t overheat, I didn’t freeze, and I slept.

Someone else in the office that I work with closely tested positive for COVID Wednesday. Very rapid onset, felt like allergies, then WHAM. She does say it’s still about like a cold. Today, I had a massive sinus headache. Ended up coming home early from work. Mom, who lives 3 hours away now, told me that she also has one. It’s probably just seasonal crud again. Weeee!

Hubby is suddenly acting shocked that there is food in our pantry that is expired and telling me that he isn’t going to eat it…even stuff that just expired at the end of last year. Wondering what happened to my husband… My little coffee counter is much cleaner and less cluttered now, since I had to clean off the whole dang thing after my coffee exploded yesterday (I’m thinking I didn’t have the filter firmly attached to the Aeropress. I had bought 2 folding shelves to go on it (was going to work on that area this weekend - still need to go through the cabinets below) - they fit just on either side of my electric burr grinder I bought myself on discount after Christmas. I do, of course, have the manual one still, but it’s ticking me off because the lid pops off while grinding. What’s the best way to store coffee for later? I buy mine in 5-pound bags, and I’d bought more in December because they had a good sale on it, but I’m only about halfway through my previous bag.

Laptop or desktop? Have you checked all the connections and rebooted?

I now have TWO tiny closets for the pantry, instead of one and half the other. I need to do a full kitchen purge and reset before too long. Hubby believes in stocking up on ammo, but not on food. I need to at least start buying some of the canned food we eat a lot of at Sam’s, where it comes in a case, so he doesn’t ask why I bought 8 cans of green beans instead of just 2.

Someone I know got a notice for a picture joking about Oreo releasing Big Mac flavored Oreos.
