Today was warm enough to finally get out and walk, sunshine, so much better than the recent subzero that it felt wonderful.
Strictly on the sidewalk though, too hazardous to trudge through deep snow and ice and who knows what branches and other storm debris underneath. But breathing lovely cool air and walking was fine.
For some people it was a working day replacing windows.
Sorry for the owners too, all their windows out in this weather. But you book the work and whenever they show up, they show up.
This is how my next door neighbor, hoping to get his windows replaced on a nice October day, ended up getting the crew in a November gale.
Postscript to the patient portal saga: Handsome Son, former software person, took a look at the site, saw the holdup, and said even if that's the wrong entry, let's click on it and see if it triggers the message function. Which it did, and we sent a message saying look we can send a message.
Later the IT team, using the screenshot I'd sent, emailed saying try clicking on any value and see if it triggers the message function..Handsome Son concluded they were in the middle of an update, but they weren't admitting anything. And I thanked them and omitted to say it was already solved. Let them earn their paycheck.
Happy day everyone, and,speaking of owls which we weren't but can now
