a balmy 45 degrees when I woke up this morning.  Meanwhile I had dreams about waking up to a notification on my phone that we'd suffered a nuclear attack.

Reply to lucius septimius in 1: We had those big, jumbo snowflakes here yesterday.  The kind that look like you're living inside a snow globe.  Woke up to the ground covered in snow this morning.  It won't last there long, but it's still depressing.  It was 29 degrees when the sun came up here.

If anyone was having trouble getting in to the site, the hosting company had a hardware upgrade that was supposed to be done before the new thread time, but wasn't.  I wasn't doing anything with it

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 3: I did, but it seems to have resolved itself.  I thought maybe it was something I'd said, glad it wasn't.

I had a sort of work stress dream that I was late for a formal signing of an understanding with the Ministry of finance of Trinidad and Tobago, and the Ministry of finance of Belgium, but that was taking place in Montevideo, Uruguay.  I also couldn’t find the contract, and when I did find it, I realized it was still written out in longhand on notebook paper.

And so of course I’m reminded of this:

Reply to Occasional Reader in 5: That made me remember a dream I had one night last week.  I was called back to my former job.  I was so glad, even though I didn't want to return to the world of the working.  I am truly enjoying my retirement.  The reason I was so happy was who my new boss was...Donald Trump!  Now analyze that dream!

There is this classic nightmare song

And I'm working from home now, but still have dreams of going in (where most people are working from home, and mask wearing and social distancing are required at work, plus they installed more air purifiers, have a temperature scanner scanning people going in (it caught my hot coffee cup!) and have to self-attest a lack of COVID symptoms to be allowed in). 

Anyway, in my dreams there are a lot of people, no mask wearing, no social distancing, and I wonder what is going on. Plus one of them had my office moved.

I didn't mean we needed to practice social distancing in the blog.

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 10: I thought we just had to wear our masks.

If I tell someone something I don't want associated with my name, I'll tell them to say "Who was that masked man?"

I just re-read the notification that my drivers' license needs to be renewed (Done already)

And it said how to tell if you have a Real ID - look for the yellow star in the upper left!

I would think someone would be more sensitive than that, even if it is a 5 pointed star!
