If if makes you feel any better, the weather app may be talking about places like coastal British Columbia rather than the Yukon Territory.

Winnipeg and Anchorage, specifically.

they're predicting highs in the 50s, starting in just a few days.

Highs in the 30's here.  Everyone's excited for the "warmth", lol.

I can believe that!  When I lived in Iowa, there was a week or two straight when the highs never got above zero (that's 18 below, for you Celsius people), which was very unusual there, so even the natives stayed home.  We went to the Kmart one evening, and there were about half a dozen cars in the lot -- probably five employees and us.  So when things got back into the positive digits, folks were positively giddy!

Hey, Artie, glad to see you again!

And I hope your Christmas turns out better than it has apparently started.

 

[Artemis]

Thanks Carol.  It wasn't that bad, I just couldn't be less in the mood.  It's been a bad year and I'm fully drained of anything that could potentially resemble "Christmas cheer" at this point.  I'm just ready to get it over with.

I'm relieved to hear that!

Yeah, some years are like that.  But only a few more days and the 2022 holidays will be over.  Meanwhile just ignore 'em as best you can.

*Sigh*...

I hope it improves!

 

[Artemis]

It wasn't too bad.  I tried food from two new restaurants I've never eaten at before, and now I'm relaxing at home with my dog, eating homemade cake.  If anything I wish I had more time to be a couch potato before going back to work, lol.

Me with my dog's medicine bottle.

 

[Carol the Dabbler]

They gave you one of those adult-proof bottles, eh?

And we've missed you, Artie.  Glad to hear from you!
