Earlier my parents and I were having our regular Sunday strawberry milkshakes..we were by the pellet stove, and then dad walked over to the living room and said he saw a firetruck. Mom then walked over and must have said something about smoke, and then I came over, looked up and saw this:

Yikes! Mom said she saw flames, but it looked more like the sunset to me. We were worried someone was losing their house, right before Christmas..it was also -30, definitely not a good time for a fire. Mom and I bundled up and walked to the end of the street, where various first responder vehicles were. Here's a closer view:

Up close, we could tell it wasn't the house that was burning, phew! Mom asked a (very handsome :P) firefighter who walked by about the fire, and he said it was a shed, and that all the people, animals and the house were safe. I'm not sure how the fire started, but they got pretty lucky. I'm always thankful for firefighters, they are amazing!

Curti loves rolling around on my clean sheets!

He'll eat catnip, but it doesn't really do anything to him..clean sheets though? He's in heaven haha. He is an impressively long kitty too lol, wow :P

At work yesterday and Friday we were open until 7, but no one came in after 5:30, for both me and Bill..pointless staying open that late, but you can never know for certain. I won't be at work again until next year?? Oh my! It was definitely a crazy year for the bookstore, I hope 2026 is kinder!

Happy solstice! Tomorrow will be 7 seconds longer! :D

Last night I didn't feel super great..super anxious, migrainey, felt like I might be coming down with something, and I just could NOT get to sleep. You'd think I'd know by now to take Excedrin right away instead of laying awake for hours in pain haha. When I finally did take some, the migraine was gone in about 10-15 minutes..that stuff is amazing! I still didn't sleep super great, but at least the migraine was gone. :P This morning, when I went out to wait for the bus, little snowflakes were starting to fall. By the time I got to work, which only takes a couple minutes, the flakes were bigger and starting to stick. Soon the flakes were HUGE, which looked cool! I really don't appreciate being a human barometer LOL, the first big snowstorm is always the worst. At least I felt a lot better, even though I didn't sleep well. Here's a picture I found on Facebook:

Instant winter!! I wish I had taken a picture, but I was busy working lol. The giant flakes were very cool!

Yesterday, out of nowhere, I had part of a song come into my head, something about the moon/moonlight..I knew that would be pretty much impossible to search online, since so many songs have moon/moonlight in the lyrics, and the only other thing I remembered was that it was old..I tried searching, but it was as hard looking as I thought it was going to be. It was driving me crazy haha, and I tried thinking about a tiny bit more of the song, but it kept escaping my grasp! It was only after I went to bed (yeah that didn't help my sleep either lol) that the tiny bit more of the song came into my head, and then I thought "huh..there's stuttering in that song, isn't there?" and that's when I FINALLY remembered what song it was, and jumped out of bed to see if I was correct (I was lol). The song is called "K-K-K-Katy" ("when the m-m-m-moon shines, over the cow shed, I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door"), which was first released in 1918! I have no idea why it popped into my head though, I hadn't listened to it since probably last year! (I was probably looking for songs with stuttering in them lol.) I'm glad I was able to think of it though, those kind of things drive me crazy :P

Poor sun! It's always nice getting the light back lol

Today was my last day of work until next year..mom asked if I was excited to have a week and a couple days off and I was like "uhhh..I dunno" and she said "you really love your job, don't you?" Yep! Last year Christmas break was miserable, I'm glad I got that fixed lol. We were listening to Christmas music at work, and when "All I Want For Christmas is You" came on, I thought "I wonder why people hate this song so much, there are worse ones, like the one with the kid with the annoying high pitched voice [I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus]," and that was LITERALLY the next song that came on haha..so weird :P

Mom might make curtains for my bed, but it was too naked lol, so I bought some on Amazon to hold me over. It was kinda fun "dressing" it haha

Tomorrow will be 7 seconds longer :D

We got 8 to 10 inches of snow this weekend, with more on the way tomorrow..crazy!

It's pretty, but it always feels like it's too early, even if it is October :P (most of the ducks have left, but these guys are enjoying the food dad's giving them lol..I wonder if any of them are the Armada of Nine?)

The covid situation is scary here..the hospitals are so overwhelmed the doctors have to decide who lives and who dies..that is awful and terrifying D:

Tomorrow we gain 1 second of daylight, oh yeah :P

Yesterday mom's work had their Christmas party (her boss likes me, so I get to go to some of their events too lol). Someone ordered escargot, so mom and I were brave and tried some for the first time..it was actually pretty good! (It helped that it was covered in garlic LOL.) Being adventurous can definitely be fun, and you feel proud of being brave haha

Looks like winter is here. :P It's pretty though haha

Sunrise: 10:58 AM (it's still kinda dark out!)
Sunset: 2:40 PM

Yay, the light will come back after this! It hasn't really effected me that badly though..I blame Zoloft and Candy Crush haha. Zoloft is the best anti-depressant I've taken. Paxil just made me numb and super tired and Wellbutrin was a disaster (why would my doctor prescribe a medicine that had anxiety as a side effect when I already have anxiety??). On Zoloft I have been pretty happy, and I still feel bad emotions, though it doesn't feel like a black hole haha. I'm so thankful Zoloft works. :D I hope it keeps working haha

Day 18 → what is on your desk right now )

Today in class this graduate student came in to talk about research he did. He had also taken the same class and was interested in glaciers and asked the professor if there were any jobs available. There wasn't at the time, but like half a year later he got a call for a job and now he does research with glaciers. He said anyone could do it..he took developmental math and he could still do it. OMG. I think my eyes were falling out of my head at this point. I talked to the professor and she says there's nothing right now but like with that guy something could pop up later. I gave her my email address and she's gonna email the guy's email to me so I can talk to him about opportunities and stuff. YESS..this is super awesome!! I hope I'll be able to help eventually!! We also learned about tidewater glaciers and how they have advance and retreat cycles. So awesome. We also had a quiz, which was super easy. Easiest 100 evar :D

The snow is so sparkly now that the sun has finally come out. Prettyful

Would you rather have a job swabbing athlete's foot cultures from between peoples' toes or taking photographs of skin conditions for a medical publication? Taking pictures

Today's trivia: The term "surfing the Internet" was created in 1992 by author Jean Armour Polly. She came up with the term because her mouse pad had a picture of a surfer on it

Today's trivia: The English astronomer James Jeans once figured that if you placed a piece of the sun's core the size of the head of a pin on earth, its heat would kill a person 94 miles away

The sun comes up today at 10:59 (pretty soon!) and goes down at 2:40. Then it'll start getting light later each day! *phew* Yesterday there were fireworks to celebrate the solstice

Margerie Glacier is taller than the Statue of Liberty..it's 350 feet and the statue is 307 feet. Haha woww (go Margerie! :D)

Eee!

fireworks etc pics )

Today's stupidest quote: A holy symbol like Frosty the Snowman should not be taken away from Christmas. Well, maybe that is a bad example (FOX and Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade, discussing "killing Christmas")
