What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I'm wearing sweat pants under my jeans, double socks and a light shirt between my usual undershirt and top. Having said that, I'm glad a wind chill in the (positive) single digits is as bad as it is down here.

Hi again, btw. I've continued lurking while I haven't logged into post lately. This is posted from a new wireless keyboard (same model as the old one) since it's predecessor had some keys stop working. It doesn't help it's case either that as a diabetic I have to drink a lot at times to stay hydrated and have a cat which likes to jump on my desk to get my attention.

On a slight tangent I'd love to know why I have days when I pee like crazy even though my sugar readings are perfectly fine (excessive urination is a symptom of high sugar) but leaving that aside I'm doing alright. I could ask my endocrinologist about that when I see him in early Feb.

On the extra time off these two Mondays as well as my usual off time I've been able to keep the Mythbusters mega marathon running: all 200+ eps over 11 days.

I'm having a warmer new year so far (at least indoors, at home) since the plumber came this morning to restore heat and hot water (it's a combined system and the zone valve was replaced). After a few days with heat but no hot water (until both were gone this morning) it was nice to have a hot shower.

Happy new year.

When nature gives you a snow day via a huge blizzard blanketing the entire Eastern US down as low as Florida, the prudent thing to do is stay indoors. Alas, I get sufficiently stir crazy that even today I went out to get my daily cup of coffee around the corner. Though a short trip, trudging through inches of snow, not yet fully shoveled or plowed, is a workout on its own and extends the time taken to over double what it would ordinarily take. At least by the time I went out the snow had stopped falling, though it was still windy with gusts that blew snow around.

On the other hand, I spent a bit of time I'd ordinarily be at work taking a nap.

So, the coffee meter is back to 100%
