Cold and clear

When I finally got it together to go to work today (45 minutes late) it was cool and clear. It was that way all day, as far as I could tell. It hailed yesterday.

Cold and Clear

No rain today.

Rain and cool

It was overcast, and then rainy. The rain held off long enough for me to walk to the store with my roommate, though. That was thoughtful of it.

I missed a month

So, it snowed a lot, rained a bit, was really clear and cold for awhile. Then it snowed again briefly. Then it rained again. Then it was really foggy. Then it was clear and beautiful. I'm talking sweater weather. And today, it was overcast and somewhat chilly.

I got a job offer, accepted it, quit my job and started my new job. I was accepted into the honors school. I think I've caught you up.

Rain

It hasn't snowed yet. It is supposed to tomorrow. Please snow, Portland. Please, please snow.

Rain and sleet

It is getting colder! The weather people are calling for snow, and I couldn't be more excited!

I am planning on getting a sled and ensuring that cocoa is well stocked. Oh, and I need to buy firewood!

The wonderful thing about snow in Portland is that the city shuts down. If there is less than an inch downtown, nobody has to go to work. I have five paid snow days planned in my year, just in case!

Send snow please

If you live on the East Coast, please send snow. If you live in the Midwest, please send snow. It rained today and was otherwise overcast and annoying.

I went on another job interview today. This make three, if you're counting. I am pretty sick of this process. Now I wait; I should hear back right before Christmas. So either, you get coal, or nice gifts all around.

My boss is a whiner.

Does your boss whine? Do you have to talk him down from freaking out? It's the same kind of energy I use with my daughter but with none of the cuteness.

Grey and cold

Brrr. It's cold outside.

This is the nicest gift anyone has ever given me. We'll know if it works if I am still sane in March.

grey, grey then sunny and cold

Today was sunny and cold. So cold it makes that last two days seem downright balmy.

At work the only way I notice the weather is by my gmail tree theme. It lets me know if it's rainy or sunny. My office has no windows. In fact, there are no windows in most of the building. It used to be a grocery store and was then converted into an office building. But! Did you know, dear reader, that there is another building right next door? Did you further know that this building is full of windows? Did you know it is empty? Well, empty except for one manager who has an extra office there. Him having an office in there necessitates that the entire building be heated. I've asked to move there. I've tried to negotiate several different ways. Alas! I cannot have an office with a window, even though there are more than five empty offices that are heated, and ready for me to be there. My boss's desire to interrupt me at whim is weighted heavier than my mental health. Still, sometimes let myself in one of those empty offices and sit on the floor, imagining.

It rained today

Also, look! Ian put up photographs! We're looking for a roommate, so if any of you three people reading this know of any awesome person that needs a room, let us know!

Overcast and Warmish

It is cloudy all day long. And all night long too.

I went to a party last night. It was my fourth gathering this week. I'm over parties for the week, which is ill timed as there is a party I'm invited to tonight. I just cannot do it, though. I'm exhausted.

Also, I'm a dancer! I just gotta dance!

Rain and cold

It is raining. It has been raining for the last two days. Other than that, it's been cold.

I have three birthday parties to go to this week. Why are my friends born at the same time? It is very strange.

I had vegan Vietnamese food today! A lot of it. I just relaxed and hung out. It was a great Thanksgiving, and for that I'm thankful. I gave up Thanksgiving with my family two years ago, and it really was the best for everyone. It used to be so stressful and tense for me. We would have to negotiate who would get Maddy when. Now Maddy goes with her dad and his family, and I just hang out. Christmas is still crazy. Maybe I should give that up as well.

Cold

I'm still sick. It was cold today, but sunny.

I'm sick!

Wah! I want some vegan pho. Will you pick some up for me? My head hurts and my kid won't stop yelling.

I was only outside today at the hot tubs and sauna. It was sunny and cold for about an hour this morning. Other than that, I have no idea.
