beansideIt's Tuesday! I slept considerably better last night, so I'm not quite as sleepy as I was yesterday morning. I have a little headache hangover from last night, but that'll go away as the morning wears on.
Yesterday was the exact opposite of what I thought it would be at work. Instead of being nonstop calls, it was mostly quiet. I did a lot of call outs and even with them, I did half the calls I normally do. I did get about five people in for STAT appointments, so that was good. In the end, they closed our outpatient radiology centers yesterday, which is for the best. It was pretty bad in Maryland. We got about 8" of snow, and then another 1" of sleet and freezing rain. So the snow is seriously solid. I was watching our maintenance workers trying to shovel the walks, and they had two implements--a snow shovel and a garden spade to try to break up some of the ice. It was very effective and the sidewalks are clear. The court is a mess. Even the plow couldn't clear everything, so it's pretty icy.
I do have to go to the pharmacy today, so I'm figuring on doing that at lunch when the sun is at it's brightest and maybe some of the ice will be slush. It's going to get up to a balmy 25 degrees F. I'm not looking forward to cleaning my car off. It's going to be cold and the snow is going to be heavy. Hopefully, I have time to clean and still go to the pharmacy during my lunch break. It'll definitely be a bit of a race.
I don't think I'll have the benefit of lightning striking twice at work. It'll definitely be a litlte busier, since the centers will actually be open. There will probably be some cancellations. The roads still aren't 100% clear.
I'm still debating on what I want to make for dinner. I've got a few options, though I'm low on sides. A good chunk of it will depend on if I am able to make it to the pharmacy at lunch. If so, I'll make an actual dinner. If not, I may be picking up something on the way home from the pharmacy in the evening.
Today is 100 days until we leave for vacation. Tomorrow, we'll be in double digits! This is both exciting and terrifying. We have an appt in 2 1/2 weeks to meet up with the dog sitter, so hopefully that goes well and Yoda is a good boy. It'll be on Valentine's day, so hopefully he'll find love in his heart for the sitter.
I started a Facebook group for our sailing. For months, it's been just me, then one or two other people. But now as we get closer, the group is growing. it's up to 42 members now. It's interesting, seeing who people are and what they're planning to do for excursions.
I think our itinerary is the best, but I'm biased. There are people coming from Australia for this cruise! That blows my mind. They were talking about not knowing what to tip as Australia is not a tipping culture like the US is. We were trying to give them an idea of what to expect.
100 days! Good lord, that feels soon.
ION, I finished a book! The Fourth Wing wasn't bad. The end was nicely done, and I really enjoyed the story. As a fanfic writer, I wrote a ton of Mary Sues and self inserts (thankfully both are lost to the annals of a now defunct wrestling fanfic board. I didn't really mind it though. I enjoyed the dragons, and had fun reading it, so I don't car if it is wish fulfillment. 4 out of 5 stars. Now I shall start on book 2.
Okay, time for me to hop off and get ready for work. Everyone have a stupendous Tuesday!
