Weather, geriatrics, clementines, and Christmas

The good news is that right now, as we speak (or as I write), it is currently 55 degrees. The high today is supposed to be 57. The bad news? Well it's raining and very gray and supposed to follow a similar pattern for the rest of the day. More bad news? Tomorrow? Snow! Snow and a high of 33 degrees. Now notice I said HIGH of 33. The low is 14 degrees. (This in comparison to Fort Lauderdale folks. They say -- hey it's going to be 60 tomorrow. Yeah, 60 at 3 am!) Sorry. No bashing the Florida faithful. I really, cannot complain. it has been a very mild winter so far.

While staying with my good and bad theme, Prison Break's season finale was last night. Man I love this show! Now that is bad news, however, flipping to the good, it is returning to the tube on January 22. Not too long to wait. I have also, due to JB's leading, gotten into the show Heroes quite a bit. Both of these are very un-Wendi-like shows. Not sure how this happened.

Speaking of JB, he is on his geriatrics rotation for the next three weeks. He seems to be enjoying this. He sees patients, makes home visits, and attends lectures. It is a fairly easy rotation. 8-5 with no weekends. You really can't complain about this schedule.

Another good thing in my life right now. Clementine oranges! Fruit in Minnesota this time of year is slim pickins, but these little oranges are fantastic! I can just sit there and peel and eat bunches of them. Love those little guys!

More great news? Seventeen days until we head to Fort Lauderdale. We cannot wait to spend some time with our families, get some sun, and celebrate my brother's wedding. We've realized that nearly everyone who lives around here goes south for at least a portion of the winter. I think it's integral to not completely going out of your mind.

All right, more good news. Today is TRIVIA day.

Only 25% of Americans currently have one of these, but soon they'll be considered essential for all of us - what is it?

No, no. A brain? Ebby? For real? 75% of people are walking around brainless.

And Josh, no, I doubt only 75% of people are blastless. I am blastless here.

A Mexican Train Dominoes Set?

Wendi Kitsteiner said...

Incorrect. This is something that is not related to technology at all.

A hearing aid

Gabbs said...

Wow, this is hard, especially since it does not have anything to do with technology. I can think of a ton of technological answers.

A college degree.

Wendi Kitsteiner said...

Not a degree and not a hearing aid. Here is a clue: you cannot go somewhere and just buy one of these. You have to order it.

a flu shot?

Wendi Kitsteiner said...

Nope not a flu shot. This does cost a fair amount of money (probably close to $100.00).

JB and I have one of these but I am assuming my parents and his parents do not. I am guessing that the majority of our siblings do not have one of these.

Gabbs said...

Humidifier? or is that related to technology?

Gabbs said...

a safe?

Wendi Kitsteiner said...

Nothing to do with the winter. Anyone, anywhere would get one of these. Our friend Bara has one. And I know Tara has one.

A notary license? I really have no clue.

Oh Man! I would have totally gotten it after the "Tara and Bara" comment! Prior to that, I was definitely stumped! Good job, Kristen!
