MY WEDNESDAY FRIDAY
I'm lovin' it..... all those years of working full-time, and these last 6 I've been fortunate to be able to work only 3 day weeks. I just manage to pay my bills, and that's all I ask for. Lord knows I could really use a bigger paycheque, but I sacrificed one for the other, and it's well worth it as long as I can afford to do so. Frankly, with my constant state of low energy and exhaustion, I don't know how I'd manage without my 4 days off in a row just to catch up on rest and sleep. By the time the end of my workday comes on Wednesdays, I'm so pooped I can't wait to get home and just VEGETATE. 
So tonight I have spent the last few hours on the computer catching up with some friends and just relaxing. Tomorrow, I plan a day of "not much", some reading, a nap, and I think I'm going to try something new in the kitchen ~~ most of you know that I'm part Ukranian, and was brought up on delicious foods like holubsti (cabbage rolls) and pyrohy (perogies). My favourite meal in the whole wide world is (home-made!!) sauerkraut pyrohy, with creamed onions poured on top! Well, it's a LOT of work for this lazy ol' broad to make a batch of pyrohy, so I am going to try to make a dish of "lazy man's pyrohy" ~~~~ using lasagna noodles layered with sauerkraut......... and a second dish with potatoes/cottage cheese instead of sauerkraut. That's the second favourite filling. Hope it turns out!! My mouth is watering just THINKING about it!!
Well I made it to work this morning in the freezing cold without getting any frostbite. My damn nose hairs froze though!!! They really did!!! I thought of phoning a taxi, but called too late ~~ it's so cold out that a lot of people are going that route, and the taxi's were about an hour's wait when I called this morning. I'm sure a lot of people's vehicles wouldn't start too. I work for the Alberta Motor Association (CAA) which is affiliated with AAA in the States....... and I can tell you that the waiting times for our tow truck drivers are long when it gets THIS cold. Anyway, where is El Nino, we were supposed to get that warmish, hardly any snow kinda winter again this year with El Nino happening. WHERE'D YA GO????? Must be down in Florida keeping Kurt and Chad warm, lol. NO FAIR!
I don't feel any worse than I did yesterday as far as this cold in my head.... so I'm hoping that means that the echinacea and Vitamin C are working to fight it off....... actually yesterday I felt HORRIBLE. I must say it is mostly in my head now. Sniffles and a scratchy throat. Yesterday I could hardly swallow my throat was so sore. Anyway it came on so fast that it's amazing that it just "stopped" where it has today, and gotten no worse. Having said that ~~~~ KNOCK ON WOOD!!!
Geez I better watch myself..... I could say it and then it'll change!!! Anyway right now I'm doing that nose blowing thing and beginning to resemble a relative of Rudolph. 
If that continues, you'll be able to see me coming for miles! LOL
See?? I slid 2, count 'em, TWO body parts in here tonight, and you didn't even flinch, did you? Nose hairs / red nose, and my throat. That was pretty painless, don't you think? Yeah well just you wait, LOL. When I freeze my ass off, we'll have lots to talk about THEN. Mua ha ha..... Well I'm off to bed folks. I hope you all stay warm and cozy and to hell with what's going on outside, right? Be good to yourselves and take care of each other ~~ until next time, PEACE!
Love Jude
