Thursday, January 31: FRIGID AF!! 🥶🥶

Good morning on this extremely frigid day. It is 6:15 AM I’m on the EL in 6° outside.

 For some reason I can’t explain I just couldn’t sleep so I just got up and say to myself “F-It I am up.“ I made a video of what it’s like to 

 e 6° outside just to bear witness to frigid temperatures at some point next week it’s going to hit 60°. This 
 eather is just out of  ontrol. Think I’m no I’m in Chicago or Minneapolis!! 🥶 🥶🥶 i’m playing Saxby’s room and sit and drink coffee and try to get warm.I have 4 layers on and 

 wo pairs of socks circulation isn’t reaching my feet that well thank I don’t have to work outside. I got the train to 15th and fortunately only have to walk a block before the bus came. 

  like Saxbys it’s comfortable and the people are nice but sometimes like play 

 ome really god-awful pop music. The best thing on was a Taylor Swift song that’s

 how bad it was but it’s warm and the sun is rising. It’s now 7:06 AM. It’s time 

 o head towards sunrise on time for the third day in a row. It’s a miracle it’s a milestone it’s cold

 outside! Well I went to sunrise and I got a nice comment from someone

 when I walked in. It was a good meeting. I then went to the went to the Saxbys 

again and had a second cup of coffee. That was yummy. I next went to work on time and took off my 

 ayers of clothing and started to work. People weren’t coming in because schools are getting out early 

 nd it was too cold for some of them to even open. I did everything   to a project, 

 lerts and I saw people. I did not get to my over payments which are slowly 

 alling way behind. I did put a hard days work. I then went off to my 

 ppointment which is at 5:45 fortunately because I gave me time to just show up

 on time. I had my 3rd cup of coffee. After that I decided I wasn’t

 going to go to the three our men’s meeting I 

 eed to go home and not be out till 11 o’clock kind of freezing night with this cold that I’m still fighting off. I listen to the YouTube video called

Wednesday, January 30: Speaker Today and Temperatures Dropping Fast!!!!

Well this morning I made sure that I would be getting up on time. I had two people call 

 e up and I set the alarm. As it was I made it with about 5 minutes to spare. I spoke and a good showed up and that was cool. I muchly appreciated that that’s for sure. People are very nice to me. 

 fterwords Wes and I went for some coffee and we hung out and shot the shit. It was fun. He won’t be able to go to the opening Friday but he’ll be with  his girlfriend
and I will  get some needed items. Well 

  got to work someone on time and proceeded to work on my alerts. I kept getting paged for. People that weren’t mine 

 so that was kind of disruptive. I did manage to get to sanctions mailed out today. I mailed in my room emailed my report so that’s done.
 It was a fairly 

 roductive day and I 
asn’t quite as Ellen but I had moments

 where is a bit rough with this cold. You’re some sobering news in case you were relieved that the government 

 hutdown finally ended. 72 percent in poll think Trump, Congress will fail to reach border deal! They only have until February 16 reach deal otherwise ANOTHER shutdown will happen! The weather is frightening

 right now. The temperatures complement tonight not like in Chicago where 

 as 15 below zero with the 50 mile an hour wind and -50° windchill

. We did however have a snow squall today that started a little after 2 PM.There was huge pileup in Reading on Route 222 that made it in this article from Slate  about snow squalls. Well the snow squall 
 came and went and you can barely tell anything happened. I forgot to mention  we have training at 
 ork today was just a dog but at least we went through it fast. Identify 33 bus  to Fairmount and it was gag a maggot time 

 t the at the OCF as usual. Coffee is good though. Person I’m going to meet his didn’t shop so I just went to the clubhouse. I’m definitely going to bed when I get home
 not full around too much. Anyhow, I saw these photographic 

 usiness cards and texted the dude and I can get them at moo.com. He seem like pretty nice guy. I also had two offers to sell my work at Reddit so I got to come up 

 ith them pricing and cards soon. It was 12° when I left the meeting and went to the CVS to buy provisions

. I eventually got the 48 home

Tuesday, January 29: As the Ankle Turns! Catching a Cold

Good day ladies and gents. I woke up at 6:38 AM thinking I was the speaker for 7:15 AM meeting

 this morning. I got up in the start threw on some clothes grab some snacks including the fig newtons and walked hustled on down to the EL. I as praying The EL was NOT going to have its manpower

 issues this morning. Turns out I got a text that I’m speaking tomorrow not today! As I was trying to get there on time I slightly turned my ankle and now it’s a bit stiff and a tiny bit painful especially when I walk down 

 lopes. Anyhow the meeting this morning was good I shared. I went back to Saxbys got a coffee a smoothie and water. Plus another coffee. I just went to Jesus that hurts when you 

 o down steps. I’m thankful at work I don’t have  to go up and down steps. That last sentence was sad because I went downstairs and it hurt. On the one group I’m a 

 ember of one Reddit I got a 1.5 K looks at my photo. Just got a very positive response. It’s very gratifying I am tooting my own horn and giving people the link to the current exhibit that

 starts Friday at 6PM. http://www.davinciartalliance.org/abstraction-surrealism anyhow I’m feeling a bit old today because I got a little bit of a cold and that’s causing my muscles to get a little tighter. And my ankle really hurts 
 hen I go down steps. I hope it goes 

 way and I’ll have to do more ankle therapy that was painful. Anyhow I went to work and perseverance. I saw five or six people 

 oday and by the end of the day I was exhausted. I fully got in the cold. I proceed to go
straight home skipping Fairmount eating food and go to bed around 730 8:00 PM
