jennlkLooks pretty much like the old one. Although the differences are probably due to my new glasses. I was able to get them on New Year's Eve. I wasn't planning on going out, but the optometrist had a morning appointment, and she'd wanted me to come in with my computer/music glasses before I ordered a new pair of those. It's been 3 years since I got new glasses, and there's enough of a difference that it's taking my brain a while to adapt.
Blood drive and errands today. Took longer than expected - the Red Cross was down a nurse at the drive, so they were running behind. It was a church hosted blood drive, and most of the donors there attend that church, so there was a lot of chatting. Then into AA for groceries. Still holes in the freezer cases, paper goods, and deli areas, but I was able to get everything I'd planned on getting, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
I stopped by REI to see if I could get some winter walking shoes, and they had nuffin' in my size. I did help sell a pair of the Sorel boots that I've been wearing for three years, though. :)
It's been snowcovered and cloudy for a week -- weather service had the sky cover at 95-100% since Saturday. New Year's Day we got ice then snow then wintry mix. Sunday we got a surprise 4 inches of heavy wet snow, which fell off the trees/powerlines by late afternoon, but the ice under it kept it fairly firmly attached to the solar panels. It finally got warm enough today that J was able to go out and bang it all loose.
