Holiday party day at work 🎄

Another blustery, cold winter day this morning. I am driving in this morning, as it’s the Holiday Party and want to have my truck if I need to shuttle people back and forth to the Holiday Party. And maybe stop at Walmart on the way home, so I can get a replacement bed sheet to replace the one that has been ripped for some time, ans more cranberries.

Excuses, excuses to drive my big jacked up truck to work and avoid busing it. Being that I work both at CIS and Enterprise Drive, kind of a double dipper as next Tuesday is the Holiday Luncheon at the other office. Next Wednesday I’ll either take off or work from home, or maybe a combination of the two as that’s the day I get my truck inspected and tires rotated. I am thinking possibly next Friday through early Sunday heading out to Schoharie or maybe just Rensselearville to camp for a few nights on weekend before Christmas. It depends, I have the family get together to see my neice in the Nutcracker on Sunday afternoon, a week from this weekend.

I guess driving in is an excuse to pick up some pallets on the way in so I can use them for firewood up at camp either this weekend or next. Saturday looks a bit cloudy, so maybe Friday through Sunday makes more sense to take off, but as I noted, I have to be back pretty early on Sunday. I guess it depends on how long the family luncheon this weekend goes, and how cloudy tomorrow is. It’s hard to know what next weather’s weather might be like, could be snow or rain or it might be nice looking at the earliest models.

Been thinking about getting a heat lamp to use at home, mostly because my hands get cold with the heat turned down. Heat lamps are an efficent way to warm hands, plus they make a warm glow, though like any heater you have to be careful with them. But they only heat the surface of things and not the air, so even a 250 watt bulb actually can warm you up a fair bit. And they’re very inexpensive. I have a space heater but I feel like it doesn’t warm me my hands up that much, and it uses relatively a large amount of electricity for the heat it throws out, so I’m considering alternatives.

I was going to do eggs this morning, but then I was shredding more carrots and ended up making up cornmeal pancakes with greek yougurt and onions. It was good. I’ve gotten away from eggs lately, I dont know why, I’ve been kind of tired of them lately. Maybe it’s just like carrots too much.
