random thoughts – Day 1,779 – (Wednesday) – snow and pizza

Downtown after the snow.

Wednesday arrived with more snow and after I brewed the coffee and dressed, I went outside to rearrange it. It was a couple inches, but it was the light fluffy stuff again which was a blessing. It took only 15 minutes to clear the front steps, back steps, and a path to the car.

The drive to work featured trees and the steelwork on the Bridge Street bridge edged in snow. The streets downtown were sort of cleared and slightly slushy. The sidewalks were cleared and slightly slippery.  

The sun played hide-and-seek throughout the day and the temperature climbed to the high 30s, so much of the new stuff melted away. A quick walk outside at noontime was effective for clearing the head. 

Lunch was BiBiGo microwave steamed dumplings, tossed into the work bag before realizing it is Lunar New Year today. It’s a pretty good lunch for under $4 and ready in under three minutes. And the plastic tray inside is great for art and craft projects that need small amounts of paint or to hold small quantities of beads. Double win!

Pizza party for one.

After work, there was a bankers meetup at The Old Court. It was nice to be out amongst colleagues and be able to talk in the shorthand that comes with the shared experiences and environment. 

At home afterward, Kiki greeted me with meows. She either missed me and was greeting me, or was annoyed with me and scolding me. Or a combination. She's been becoming more vocal and regularly graces me with her running commentary and narration.

There was a pizza delivery from the preferred pizza purveyor to use the $4 off coupon that was expiring today. It was a hot, fresh, delicious pineapple and black olive pizza for the win. All for me. And still lots more of it for the rest of the week.
