So I'm watching the celebs file out of the theater from the Oscars and a thought popped into my mind. The presenters all get a bunch of goodies for presenting, and I didn't see anyone walking out of there carrying any shopping bags. What's the deal? Also, they were all being escorted to their limos under umbrellas because it was raining, and no one was wearing a coat. Only in California!

It's raining a pretty good clip here today. It just sprinkled off and on a bit yesterday, but it's really coming down today. I love rain days. Gives me a good excuse to take a day off from working. I'll make a fire and get my Kindle and just vegetate.

 

[AZtortMom]

I'm with Steven it's about 60 and windy. The sun is shining though

 

[Yvonne G]

Well, I've put it off as long as I can. Time to don my rain gear and go out and open up the tortoise shed doors, clean up the poop and give them all fresh water. Oh woe is me...

 

[bouaboua]

I will need to do that soon.

I only have three outdoor enclosures need to be open.

it seems like it is extra cold everywhere this year. Im not liking it one bit.

In a way I envy those who enjoy the cold or can tolerate it in stride. I can't handle the cold. I get chilled so easily and very quickly become miserable and I start to feel panicked by how badly my body wants to shut down. I don't know if that's part of raynauds or not but I do have raynauds so I get all of the other unpleasant things hat come along with that.
My husband cracks me up sometimes. He will tell me to put an extra blanket on or gloves or thicker socks or whatever and I'm like, "you create heat if you aren't making any."
I can do all of the things normal people do to keep warm but I still won't be able to warm up my extremities because of the raynauds. I can however slow down heat loss with preventative extra clothing and stuff but if I'm already cold, I can't get warm on my own. I have to have a good heat source. Very much like a reptile. It sucks.

You should buy a heated jacket.

Thank you My eyes are unique, they're blue but most of the time they actually look more green

Rocket scientist....as I heard! !

Let her tell you by herself. There was a thread that everyone telling what their dream job or current job are.....@Yvonne G know what I'm talking about.

My son-in-law has heated socks and gloves for when he goes on m/c trips. They have a little battery pack.

I started out in my early 20's as an AT&T long distance operator. Then I was the supervisor, then the scheduling/payroll clerk. From that I went to the Engineering department as a drafting clerk and was promoted to supervisor. Went to AT&T school and became a communications engineer. My main job as an engineer was as the Joint Pole Engineer. We took care of the poles and poles we owned jointly with the power company. We had to figure out what size poles and anchors to place to hold the size cables that were going to be put up, replaced broken poles, etc. I loved that job. It was very fulfilling. I retired with 30 years of service quite a few years ago. Now I'm a tortoise engineer!

Weather is looking good the rest of the week (I wish it were a bit cooler though).
