As you may have gathered from a couple of the previous posts, it is cold in my part the U.S. The temps dropped to near 1 degree Fahrenheit last night. With the windchill factor it went into the negatives easily.
Even with our heated home there was a chill in the house. I am just glad we have a heated home or I'd be crappin' snowballs for sure. I grew up with cold winters, but something about getting older makes the cold much less tolerable.
Anyhow, the temps are falling again tonight. It is not supposed to be as bad, but still colder than a well diggers ass when we get out in the morning for my appointment at the VA hospital. We should be okay though. Paths are shoveled, driveway is clear, we have warm winter clothes, and a car with a heater.
The appointment is for a surgery consult for a hernia. No big deal. They may decide to not even do a surgery. It doesn't hurt me right now and it has not grown in size for a couple of months. Even if they do surgery, it is a standard one they do a lot. Like I said, there is no sleep being lost over any of it.
Then again maybe there is which is why I am writing about it. The past year already brought me two surgeries, one for my retina and the other an appendectomy. Man is 2025 gonna start off with a bang if I have another surgery for this issue.
Oh well, enough of that garbage.
It will be nice to get out tomorrow, even if it will be cold. The snnow hasn't had a chance to really melt, so it still has a pretty wintery look outside. Even if my yard is more of an ice rink than a field of snow.
I don't ice skate, or never have tried actually.
Well, my thoughts just went blank and lost my train of thought to were I was going with this post. Sorry to disappoint, but you may have wasted all your time reading this far. I could take a break on go look for the left arm of Foxy the Snowman (see image).
It is doubtful I will find it as it was probably one of our terrorist cats that tore it off and ran away with it. Most likely it is already sitting in the basement chewed to oblivion. The good wifey may just need to find something else at a craft store to replace it.
I would just break off the other arm so he matches.
I think this may be the last of this post as I intended to take the day off from posting anything. However, for some reason I just felt the need to unload my thoughts.
Please stay warm!
Thanks for reading,
Joe
