Morning. I slept pretty darn well. Just for a laugh this morning I listened to some of the sound recordings from my sleep tracking app. I thought “damn I snore a lot” bit when I’m listened I realized that some of the snoring isn’t me it’s Jolene. 🤣

It’s been a long couple of days so I’m going to bed early. Sleep well, everybody!

Of course … just watched AL’s best meteorologist’s update. The models now show the snow & ice shifting north. So AL might just get a few inches of rain (which will cause icy roads on Monday). 🤣

I am home for good, just as it started to rain. Bra is off. Hard pants are off. Pjs are on. Now it’s time to relax!☺️
One more errand to run and then it’s time to collapse. I’ve been busy the last 2 days and I’m tired. Then 2 days of work and 2, possibly 4, days off.

Present me is very very grateful to past me for buying a collapsible hand truck. It was very useful for bringing in the power station, solar panel, and 40 half liter bottles of water.

Close to $2k later and I am as prepared for an ice storm as a procrastinator can be.
I got canned food, peanut butter, protein & granola bars, PopTarts, bottle water and 3 1-gal containers for water, dog coat, cat sweaters, extra blankets.
And a 2000w power bank with a solar panel.

This weekend’s weather looks fucking awful. Better buy some propane and canned food. Might lose power this weekend. That’s a lot of freezing rain and ice. So glad I don’t work weekends at the hospital anymore.

Goddammit. EL Double Wear is my go to foundation. Perfect shade match. Great coverage. Works well with my skin.
Fuck! Back to trying to find a decent foundation that I don’t hate.

I found out today that one of the forces pushing Trump the hardest for this Greenland shit is… the owner of Estée Lauder.
Sharing this here because they own SO MANY makeup brands and I bet a lot of you might like to join me in not repurchasing anything from this makeup brand family!

It’s kinda darkly humorous that this division is “the military’s leading formation for Arctic warfare.” I guess the Tangerine Traitor is upset that his pet goons look like fools in a typical MN winter.
ABC is reporting 1,500 active duty Army paratroopers are on alert for deployment to Minnesota
"One official said the president had not made a final decision on whether to deploy two battalions."

I had to shave my oldest cat. Her fur gets horribly matted even with bathing & brushing. She was cold so I bought her a sweatshirt. She went to bed with it on and I woke up to a naked cat. I’m looking around the house and I can’t find where she stashed it. This cat. Ugh!

A non-work related thing I hate about my job is our workstation. It’s an elevated counter with tall chairs on wheels. Think high top table at a restaurant height. I have to do some odd gymnastics to get into the chair as it rolls. It’s a death trap and it irritates my back something fierce.

Minnesota Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar is going viral for calling out conservative journalist Alison Steinberg. The DC correspondent (who apparently goes by the pronouns ‘no/thank/you’) works for Lindell TV, a media network that claims to focus on ‘truth-driven journalism’ that ‘challenges the mainstream narrative.’ The founder, Mike Lindell, is most known for spreading misinformation about the 2020 presidential election and even being a key player in orchestrating the post-election Washington rally that spawned the deadly Capitol riots.
