Welcome to The Moose Pond! The Welcomings posts give the Moose, old and new, a place to visit and share words about the weather, life, the world at large and the small parts of Moosylvania that we each inhabit.
Welcomings will be posted at the start of each week (usually Saturday night with a Sunday date). To find the posts, just bookmark this link and Voila! (which is Moose for “I found everyone!!”).
The format is simple: each day, the first moose to arrive on-line will post a comment welcoming the new day and complaining (or bragging!) about their weather. Or mentioning an interesting or thought provoking news item. Or simply checking in.
So … what’s going on in your part of Moosylvania?

It’s 33 heading for 62 today and sunny at the moment. Well my data center – the techbro version I don’t like but at least it’s data – is working. (And it may actually be my “fault” I can’t get through to Support – the “obvious place” to enter my information may not in fact be the correct place. There’s a strange little field off to the side that doesn’t seem associated with anything I haven’t tried. LOL.) Anyway, yesterday we generated 10.36 KWHs and the m-t-d at 52.67 is definitely on track for 200+. We’ll see how long that lasts.
This flare of sinusitis just won’t go away. Sigh. I’m sure the weird weather swings aren’t helping any. (Nor is the construction dust – all that’s going on to the west of me and of course most of the wing comes from the west.) Oh well. It gives me a headache and bothers my eyes but it’s more irritating that anything else. As is the cold achiness in my hands. I’m so much better off and most of the folks I know. Know online at least. Off to start my boosting day. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}
That’s disheartening, bfitz, because there’s not a lot you can do about it. Last night during Rehearsal I also acquired a headache, not from dust, but from the Jungle Venom perfume that Cinderella’s stepmother was wearing. I don’t know how to tell her in a nice way not to wear it. She’s a very nice person otherwise.
{{{Diana}}} No, there really isn’t anything I can do about it except hang on until they finish. Ask the director to request the cast not to wear scent in case any of the audience has allergies. Just a general thing, not a you in particular thing. Moar {{{HUGS}}}
Good sunny-but-freezing Saturday moaning, Meese. What are we moaning about today? Why, the horrible 58-mph winds of course. They’ll be with us today and have kindly (!) agreed to extend their stay through tomorrow. Did all my errands yesterday so I wouldn’t have to budge from the campus today.
Just finished my coffee—what fun not to have to rush through it—and so far am thoroughly enjoying my Saturday morning. Yesterday when I woke up from my nap it was SNOWING! Actually snowing, in Northern Virginia! It only lasted 20 minutes.
This morning in Ashburger we have 12 F., heading for 32 F. Have lots to do, of course: study the script, work on my diabetes article, and read my writers’ essays. Rehearsal last night was exhausting. Luckily we don’t rehearse again until Monday. The snowcrete on the porch furniture is pretty much gone, but the wind is busy blowing the indoor-outdoor carpet around.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, today is my darling Younger Son’s 51st birthday! AND the family is getting a cat! It seems that a family friend is going back to China for two months, they don’t want to board the cat, so they’re just giving it away. Hope the big bruiser of a boxer doesn’t eat it.
Time to get going. I want to go to the gym before my dinner date at 5:30. I wish I’d known that the friend I’m having pizza with tomorrow is not a Super Bowl fan. We’ll be watching the Olympics. Oh, well, first-world problem!
Wishing a good day to all at the Pond.
