It’s warmer in Inverness than New Orleans right now. That seems wrong.
I’m looking at my weather bug on my iPad and the potential snow totals have increased from 6-12 inches to 8-19 inches.
It *should* keep the worst of it north of me, but I don’t want to shovel a foot of snow, please.

Hockey question… in the standings, are regulation wins the tie breaker?
Because they have the Pens in the 2nd wildcard spot over two other teams with the same games played and points but more wins (12 v. The Pens’ 11). But Pens have 11 RWs over their 7 or 6.

We're doomed.
I mean, interesting stat here.

Of the last 36 times Sid and Geno were both held off the scoresheet, tonight marked just the fourth time Pens won. It's only the 13th time Pens won a home game in which both were held pointless.

Got to Steel Plaza just in time to see the full train before me pull out. Which means I probably get to stand here for 20 minutes.
Ah well.
Looks like snow off and on for the way home.

I made liver and onions. I may never do that again. I had no idea what liver was like before it was cooked (and I totally overcooked it).
I like liver and onions. But that wasn’t the best. I needed wetter onions. And to, ya know, not overcook it.

Brother and, tangentially, I finished cleaning out the garage at my rental property. There was so much crap. And most of it has come to my house to burn or be broken up and thrown in my dumpster. Brother was going to take it to the dump but a work emergency has made that impossible.

The color and the pattern on the clouds, looks almost like a fingerprint on the one side. I had to stop and take a picture.

Listened to different stations on the way home. There is so much music in this world. And some of it is weird.
But it was fun to hear some songs I’d never heard before. And some songs like I’d never heard them. Did you know Bonnie Raitt covered INXS’ Need You Tonight? Why?

Hey, Penguins. Maybe… I don’t know… control the puck when you have it in OT? Blaming Novak for this one.
They got a point. Some day they’ll get a W in OT. Probably, right?

Well that’s a journey.
The smells coming through here right now. First was kind of sweet bubble gummy followed swiftly by what I would describe as salami burp.
Oh, now, Coke.

Apparently everything is happening in #Pittsburgh tonight.
You know what’s helpful when a bajillion people are waiting for the train?
When only the front door of the train opens.

Forgot I have a program this afternoon. Quilling!
First time. No freaking clue how it's going to go.
I bought tools and I have paper. Somewhere there's so much glue. I even bought two powered tools because some of my people struggle with hands doing small motions. I think I'm ready.

Mmm. Coffee.
The one thing I liked about my stay in Montreal (I blame me, not Montreal) was the coffee they served at breakfast at the hostel. That was good coffee.
Pretty sure it wasn't decaf, though.

Dang it. I missed supper again. I didn’t get to bed early enough to avoid realizing that, so now I feel shitty.

Tried a new body wash. Don't think I can use it again. It smells like I rubbed myself down with a dryer sheet.
I was hoping it would help with my dry skin but I'm contemplating another shower to get rid of the smell, which will definitely not help in that regard.

Sometimes I look at goals scored against the Pens and see the opposing player just standing there with no one covering him.
That seems like a problem.

I decided I wasn't going to go to the hockey game tonight. Still don't feel great and I'd rather have an option of more sleep. Drove past my rental that's for sale to see what my brother got done today with the garage. He was going to take down the old door and take an old riding mower to recycling.

I won't be surprised if my staff member comes back from helping this patron & announces that she's done with the public for the day. We've been open for half an hour.
But I get it. The woman won't shut up long enough to answer the registration questions.
She's doing a good job, tho!
Good morning!

I'm sorry, but this made me chuckle. Ovie broke the record. Every goal he gets reaches another scoring milestone, no?

Body seems to think I was just taking a nap instead of actually being asleep. Woke up after trying to get out of dreams that have me agitated. About shopping at the wrong store, of all things. Why ring me up before asking for my membership? Before that, a Google form from hell.
