CC is killing me with the flip flops! I want to wear flip flops! Well to be more specific, Tevas, because flip flops don't give me enough arch support.

Liz, let us know how DH's stress test goes. Hope the weather is not too bitter as you head to Massachusetts.

Diane, good you don't have any apparent damage. I sometimes muse about which is scarier, tornados or earthquakes. With tornados, you generally have some warning, but not always. You can take shelter, but again, not always... Earthquakes come out of nowhere, and literally rock your world... I would prefer neither.

Where is Ann off to?

Tonight we have our Pub Night tickets. Just the husband friend is meeting us tonight, as wife friend is out of town for work. Some music will be lovely.

One of my work besties who is using Wegovy has a lump on her neck. She had an ultrasound, and now they want to do a biopsy. I'm worried. Her biopsy is tomorrow morning. I hope she gets the results quickly.

It's so cold today, BUT a warm up arrives soon, and next week it seems might be warmer than average temps. Fine with me, I don't care if it snows or if the lakes freeze enough for ice fishing. But I keep these thoughts to myself, as many Minnesotans have passionate opinions on these subjects.

You have a lot more energy than I did in my last work years. I never went anywhere out on a work night. Of course I got up at 4:30 am then.

Greetings from Earthquake land

I went to the gym and drove through our little town and everything looks ok. This was kind of a rolling quake so it may be that there is not that much damage. All the freeways and main roads were jammed as people went to get kids out of school or were trying to leave the tsunami zone. The thing is, the freeway runs right along the bay and is in the danger zone so it's the worst place to be. I expect some local "shake up" about the lack or disaster evacuation planning. There is one little community right on the ocean bay peninsula that has a plan for everyone to go stand on the highest sand dune. Does not sound like much of a plan to me. There are little tsunami zone signs here but they are so cute that people steal them.

Anyway I did my walking. Tomorrow is a gallery day.

Liz I hope your DH stress test goes well. No fun.

DD ice fishing is a sport that has always puzzled me. Why build a little cabin to put on a frozen lake? Can't one get enough fishing done in the summer? Guess I am a fellow blasphemer. I sure hope it gets warmer there and you can indulge in flip flops or at least something other than snow boots.

CC don't feel guilty about relaxing in the yard. It's the purpose of life. That and having dogs.

Speaking of dogs, Tesla is having major fart episodes. Anybody have a clue what to do? No food changes have occurred.

I don't get the ice fishing either. I used to tell DH if you ever need some time away from me, you don't have to go sit in a shack. Just tell me and I will go shopping :) My Aunt and Uncle used to spend the night in their ice house on a lake in the middle of nowhere up north. My Auntie said she loved listening to the ice expanding and contracting all night. I guess if you're a wilderness/ nature person, that could be appealing. It intrigued me, but not enough to actually sleep in a little house on the ice in the dead of winter.

Sounds like a nightmare really!

So glad the earthquake didn't damage much. Does appear that some officials need to come up with an effective evacuation plan. Remember Lahaina with their lack of a plan?
