the b-log

Is winter over yet? I would like just one morning where I didn't have to break a sweat trying to pry open my car doors.

Yesterday a woman accosted me asking where she could find breakfast (1 pm). She was wearing a giant fur hat and had a strange accent/speaking rhythm. I gave her a few coffee shops and bagel places that were across the street, and she told me that would not do-- where was the nearest House of Pancakes? I wished her good luck, since it was 40 below and I don't think I've ever known of an IHOP in Minnesota.

Later yesterday, I got a phone call from my doctors office saying that my doctor was canceling all his appointments for an indefinite amount of time, and therefore my appt in early February would be canceled. Then she further clarified by saying that he was just out for awhile, and wouldn't know if he could come back until the first or second week of February. I think he checked into rehab.
