Hi all!

I'm doing some minor operational work tonight. It should be transparent, but there's always a chance that something goes wrong. The main thing I'm touching is testing a replacement for Apache2 (our web server software) in one area of the site.

Thank you!

I'm like an iquana

If it gets much colder I think I too, will hibernate. Probably won't fall out of a tree due to not being in one. But this weather is not weather I am equipped for.

When I looked yesterday there was only a ten degree difference between us and Munich, Germany. That should not be the case darn it.

Tomorrow it'll be in the mid sixties for at least a day so hopefully it'll warm up inside our house. We don't have heat. And I'm cold and cranky.

I did however get another cute pair of slipper socks, they have a gray cat on them. The cats won't let us have the electric throw I bought a few years ago and I'm regretting not buying a new one but at that time it seemed we would follow the normal winter pattern of just a day or two of extreme cold followed by sixty degree days. It doesn't predict another forty degree day thankfully this week so hopefully I'll be warm.

I know once the hot season arrives I'll long for these days as I see our power bill each month.

I made some icons played some videogames and otherwise did nothing. This weather is terrible for me accomplishing anything.

How do people in the great frozen North deal with this bullshit for more than a few days?

Snow?!?

It might Snow in Tampa today.

We have a cold front coming in and for the next few hours it's going to be windy with 35 mph gusts that could be as cold as 8 degrees.

Reports this morning is that it could snow.

I hope the people celebrating Gasparilla stay warm! I missed watching the pirate invasion on tv today sadly.

It's a traditional fun event where the pirates "invade" the city and take over and it becomes a mini Mardi gras celebration. It started in 1904. It is always a lot of fun to watch the invasion on tv.

Still can't believe it might snow in Tampa.

Had a mostly happy post but then saw the news. The government (ICE) has murdered another US Citizen.

My heart hurts. This is not okay.

His poor family! And government officials spreading lies when the video shows him unarmed.

A nurse at a VA hospital trying to help someone the thugs had pepper sprayed.

Screams into the void.

Where's the supreme Court? Where's Congress? My Congress critters support him. Rick Scott is one of ours. Rubio was one of ours...

I hope everyone who stayed home and didn't vote is proud of themselves.

You did it.

Let us hope he doesn't get the civil war he's hoping to invite and use to deny elections.

Let us hope we can vote then out and end all this fuckery.

But I will always hope everyone who stayed home steps in a dozen Legos a day and gets food poisoning every time they are traveling in a car and can't find a toilet.

Hope this makes sense I'm so tired I can't see well anymore.

I hate sensitive skin

I hate sensitive skin so much. At any moment a skin product that didn't irritate me might irritate it. Rash up... Need a bandaid? Despite using sensitive skin bandaids and being extra careful peeling it off not only is the skin around it irritated but some of it is torn.

I'm having a flare up of a chronic skin issue too. So I keep having to lay down and have Ian regauze and tape the area so it doesn't tear my skin.

I am extra frustrated today because last night I couldn't get comfortable and ended up aggravating the flare up by scratching.

I also feel like I do right before my period.

Haven't had my period in a few months, am perimenopausal... But maybe she's coming or maybe my hormones are a mess. I do have polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Jasper cat is still slightly wobbly from his pain medicine. Last night he seemed like he might be in pain from his arthritis and the cold. He seems to be feeling better and is currently shouting at my husband. Because he wants cuddles and food but Ian is still at the computer doing engineering things.

This post is super whiny but then again when I'm in pain my inner 5 year old is out. And she wants cookies.
