Well, we certainly have had snow! Lots of smaller storms and at least one hefty one. Power has stayed on, which is good as it is so cold. The Comcast cable crapped out, I felt bad for the tech who had to climb two ladders to replace it in the wind and snow. The house is cold, even with the gas fireplace and the furnace cranked up.
The kitchen remained undecorated, other than a few velvety silk poinsettias in the picture on the fridge, and in the vases on the kitchen window ledge. That’s fine, I got the tree up, and lights in the front window. The sheers had to stay closed as Lucy Furr wanted to chew the cords. Silly girl. Loki’s Party got a holiday theme, as did Lucky Barry.
I got a nice stuffed stocking form my Reddit secret Santa. A crow call, a feather pen, some coffee and chocolate, and a set of delightful Deadpool enamel pins. I was thrilled.
No Way Home lured me out of the house. Fantastic Spiderman movie, and now I have rewatched all five of the older films. So good. I am very excited for this new Marvel phase, infinite possibilities. What If? and Hawkeye were excellent, and Venom is getting closer to Spiderman. Nice.
On the health front, my blood sugar is too high. I have lost a couple pounds, but am still far too heavy. My sodium benzoate sensitivity has expanded into foods rich in benzoic acid. That’s apples, cinnamon, cranberries, yogurt, and plums. So many of my favorites. I had some lovely apple butter, it made me quite ill, even running a fever of just over 99 degrees. Insanity, and confusing in this age of the new Covid variants. I cleared out those foods, and a lot of the sugar. I still have some boiled cider in search of a new home. The up side is my chronic nasal congestion is lessening. My left knee hurts a lot, which limits my desire to go up and down the basement stairs. Gah.
