(Saturday night) It’s moving in at 11:15 PM, Saturday evening, and my 10-hour shift at Victoria Theatre is over. I try not to work too many double shifts, but sometimes it’s necessary, especially when we have two major events running at the same time.

I have about 18 minutes until No. 17 arrives and despite the 25° weather, I am very comfortable. I honestly do not mind colder temperatures. I do, however, loathe humidity. Tomorrow, Sunday, the expected high is 11°, followed by two days of 18° and 17°.

(Sunday afternoon) I arrived home by 12:10 AM and attended to a few items before turning in with Harrigan, Colonel Deeds, and Hoskins gathered upon me.

This morning, I fed the pooches at 6:30 AM, and by 7 AM, I was back in bed and snoozing heavily. At 11 AM, I opened my eyes to see the pooches snoozing soundly and not seeming eager to potty. My eyes reopened at 12:45 PM and I determined they needed to go out and I needed to get up despite not feeling energetic.

Soup is on the stove and should last me for the next two days of this winter weather. My scrambled eggs and Honey Nut Cheerios have been devoured and I am trying to organize my brain.

I have taken a break from biographical audiobooks and am listening to my favorite podcast, AMERICAN PRESIDENTS: TOTALUS RANKIUM. We have now arrived at the second episode of President Bill Clinton. I am always impressed with their steady research, and I love their British humor!

I may return to bed for a short nap to ease some of the gut demolition and muscle aches.

In the meantime, make it a great day!
