Minnesota is simultaneously breaking my heart and healing it again – all the atrocities and all the people rising up against them. May we see an end to the insanity. Please.

We got nametags on Sunday & we all just automatically put our names on them (my partner-in-crime put hers on upside down & when I took a photo the friend behind her did devil horns which you can’t really see because I am short – did you know I’m short?). Anyway, during her sermon, Pastor Sandi asked us to write on our tags the name we’d like to be known by as a follower of Jesus. I’m not sure what got into me, but I guess these days I can be an agitator.

I’ve had this little oil heater in my bathroom for a few years now and it just this winter occurred to me to put my undergarments on it to warm up while I’m in the shower. (Photobomb of Ms. Pinky descending into her winter snit mode.)
Elliott had another surgery for one of his conditions related to eating & he had his blanket that I made him which made me smile. He’s such a little trooper.
Meanwhile, I walked at the mall in another
t-shirt. This one says “Jesus Is The Refugee. The Child in Gaza. The
Transgender Co-Worker. The Migrant By The Barbwire. The Kid With No Lunch
Money. The Man On Death Row. The Single Mom With Two Jobs. The Neighbor With a
Disability. The Friend With An Addiction. How You Treat Them, Is How You Treat
Jesus.”

So a while back I was talking about the Bobly (my car) & said “she.” Dr. M piped right up & said “they.” Which makes sense – while our other car (Daisy) is clearly female, and Dr. M’s dad’s truck (Floyd) is clearly male, we have never assigned a gender to the Bobly. So, nonbinary they are! ANYWAY, I saw this on Threads & shared it with Dr. M. It made me cackle. (Also, Bobly is driving just fine! No issues so far!)

Today’s outfit. I wore the ruana I made back in 2017 (go here for better photos – it has a hood!). I am still not at ALL sure of this thing, but it was soft and warm.
I follow Shannan Martin and this is from her post on Friday. I had to share it to the socials, where it didn’t really get noticed because algorithm?
I’m writing this on Sunday & we’re having a snow day! It was
supposed to be a very scary ice event, but so far it’s mainly snow & we
still have power. We’ve been worried about Dr. M’s dad (who is an independent
cuss) & it looks like the shield around his house is holding firm (he lives
in the Laboratory area - it’s so bizarre how this happens!).

The only downside is that I’ll probably have to go to work tomorrow. Ha! What’s the weather like where you are?
Cold and icy, but no snow, unlike Spring which is 82 miles from here, and yay for that.
ReplyDeleteWe escaped! The cold finally is rolling in, and we'll be below freezing until Tuesday, but the rain is gone, which means the threat of ice is gone. There are some bridges and such that are slick, and even 50 miles north things aren't so good, but at least power outages have been sporadic and not ice-related. On the other hand, I woke to thunder sleet this morning! I only remember experiencing that once before, so it was a special treat.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of an oil heater. Or, I've never paid attention. Of course I remember radiators filled with hot water, but an oil heater's a new one. I got overly excited at first; then I went online to look at them and realized they're not really a help if the power goes out, since they need electricity to heat up the oil. The search for perfectly reliable heat goes on. (In my apartment complex, generators of any sort are forbidden; try it, and you'll be looking for a new home.)
