Knowing my limit
I didn't go swimming this morning. It was just too fucking cold. 22 degrees is not enough degrees to warrant bus waiting. Yes, I could go later. But I have this thing about swimming at the start of the day. It's now daylight out but only 24 degrees and I've moved on to other non-swimming things in my head.
Tomorrow it will be warmer and I will be swimmier.
It dawned on me this morning, that the Biggie biting situation is going to get way much worse as it gets warmer. This morning he chomped on my forearm which was saved from harm by my robe made of sweatshirt material. In warm weather, that arm is going to be naked. This is going to be a problem. But, I did make it through last Summer so many not that big a deal.
I've been trying to pay my real estate tax now for a week. In past years, the taxes were billed (and online) on February 15. And you could pay them online that day. This year, they were on line but with a note saying you couldn't pay online until February 22. Yesterday, they said the same thing - payment button not there. Today the county's whole fucking site is down. Thanks guys.
One of the fiddly things about making those ginger cookies I love, is all the spices. nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt, corn starch - 1 tsp, 1.5 tsp, 2 tbl, etc. It's fiddly. Today, I got out 5 little plastic storage cups with lids and measured out the correct amounts into each. Now I have FIVE batches ready to go! I am not just a pretty face.
Today I think I'll take this pretty face to the grocery store and gas station. And then there will be tidying up around here. Things have gotten sloppy. I blame Biggie.
