Thursday, December 4th, 2025 09:19 pmFuhreeezing cold today, with snow squalls and wind, so stayed in and did nothing but dishes and a dark load of laundry currently spinning in the machine. Did have to go out to sweep off steps and front path and bring bins back in. Luckily lid of green bin did not freeze in place as it has done before, but if this polar vortex continues I might try putting it up on the porch where the snow and ice can't get at it.
Puzzling thing: my feet are different sizes and ten years ago (good god) when I bought my Toe Warmer boots, I ended up buying two pairs to get a proper fit. The heel of the right or shorter boot has worn away so I thought maybe I'd use the longer boot instead with insoles and thick socks. Only I can't find it. Left boot, yes, but the right one has vanished, lord knows how or why. And of course the online pair I bought last year or whenever don't fit at all, but rub and pinch where they shouldn't.
At least my new ID card arrived. Much better picture than last time FWIW. But they still have my height as 5'8.5/ 174 cm. which is surely no longer true. I suppose that's what I put down when I first got the thing, which was also ten years ago or so. Really don't remember when, and of course COVID screwed up the record keeping. But if they kept to every five years, then it was 2016 and yes, I have shrunk since then.
