It is Thursday, 22 December 2022… it is also my last full day of work for the year. I’m in the virtual classroom in another hour, an hour to prep and settle in, and two hours to deliver my discussion on business continuity, then I’ll take care of incidental stuff for the balance of the day.
Yesterday I shared that we were expecting colder temperatures starting today – it did get over freezing yesterday – but today I doubt we’ll be seeing no temperatures that begin with a 3 – well, maybe an actual 3. It’s 2 degrees outside right now, but I don’t think we’ll see it rise above freezing for a week or so. It might be a good day to get the wood-burning stove rolling for a little bump in the heat.
Last day of ugly Christmas sweaters for work… breaking out Clippy today.
I’m not always the biggest Christmas guy, for personal reasons. I usually spend quite a bit of time in the car traveling to see family, but this year is a question mark. Yesterday I took a COVID test, and I’m still testing positive. I’ll take another test tomorrow, and keep the hope alive that I can travel on Christmas day to see family in Clay Center. Lisa tested positive yesterday as well, so we’re just not sure if it will be safe – we don’t want to pass anything along to anyone else.
My youngest daughter is making plans with that in mind. She’s late in her second trimester and doesn’t want to take any chances, so we’ll be maintaining a distance a bit over the weekend.
Other than that, no other real news.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
