Just a regular (cold) day

Still cold weather in Houston.  34 degrees when I got up and about the same when I left for work.  The sun was up and warming up fast so it was about 40 degrees when I got to work around 9:15.  Roads were dry so no ice anywhere except on cars so I rode the motorcycle to work.  With the right cold-weather gear and the heated grips on it was a pleasant ride and I wish I could have just ridden right past the parking garage.  I have another blog around here if you want to see what it takes to Be The Sloan and ride in cold weather when a warm car is available.  That blog posting is still a work in progress, so you’ll have to just read what’s already there until the other is ready in a day or 2.

So, the ride to work, and the later ride home were pretty much the highlights of the day.  Dinner was just about ready when I got home so that deserves a highlight as well!  It looks like the freezing temps are just about gone for a while but rain is on the way later this week.  I have rain gear too, so bring it on.

Let’s see, what else went on today other than work?

  • Farmville
  • Worked on blogs
  • Fish tacos (yummy) at Berryhill for lunch.
  • Listened to some Christy Nockels (A Mighty Fortress, By Our Love, No Not One) while working on the PC
  • Got some stuff ready to go to the bank.
  • Made a short grocery list for tomorrow (I’m out of 1000 Island dressing!)

Lazy Sunday

  • Got rid of an old grill and dishwasher that had been sitting around for months.
  • 60 minutes of Wii Fit Plus exercise.
  • Organized more digital pictures
  • Cleaned up around the house.
  • Cleaned the deep fryer…ready for more good, healthy, fried foods like green beans, okra….

Ok, that’s all for today.  Keeping with the Lazy theme.
