Are there any cafes near you. I like going out for a warm coffee or something when it's super cold out

Some bookstores have cafes. That's like the perfect combo ever. Books and coffee

I have the polar bear cutter from last year so maybe this weeks goal will be polar bear cookies of some sort? I’m thinking maybe ginger bread type although those won’t be white unless I ice them completely. I don’t know yet but you’ve given me an idea which is half the battle. Roll Call 156 wouldn’t that be cool a polar bear on a coconut cake just like the the arctic...a big snowball.

Starbucks coffee is unusually strong. Stronger than what's at the grocery store. So when I get starbucks I order something like pumpkin spice latte. Cuz it's less strong than their black regular coffee. It's just an espresso shot with milk and all the fixings.

My HEAP application was processed. $401 was authorized for my heating/electric bills which will cover about January through Aprils bills

Oh yeah I always get some sort of latte, usually skinny vanilla but sometimes pumpkin spice or peppermint mocha 😋

Thanks! It’s possible I’ll never get to it though because bf is getting a cheesecake from work for turkey day so I don’t want cake and that. This week would’ve been perfect except for the snow. Not sure what I’m going to do now...

But I did pick out this gingerbread for the polar bear, the icing is white anyway.

Gingerbread Cookies {Delightful & Delicious} | SimplyRecipes.com

We may have to settle for the cookies because they are still fun but smaller and freezable, maybe I’ll just put some coconut on the polar bear icing?

That's when I just walk slow.

When I'm walking and want to cross the street but there's a car coming, I continue walking.. if i want to cross again but another car comes, i continue walking.. then when there's no car, I "J-walk" (Which there is no such thing in Ireland). I don't have the patience to just stand there..

I cross on red lights cuz it takes forever to be green cuz I always end up there right when it goes red...

Went to the spinal doctor. He barely did anything. He asked me a few questions and lifted my right leg up and down. Then he gave me a sheet with home exercises on it. What a waste.

The lump on the back of your neck could be a spine hernia. Idk if they exist but my dad says he has the same thing..

Edit: No I didnt tell him you have a lump on the back of your neck..

It's not. It's from being on my phone everyday, 10 hours a day, for years.

Freshened up my "About Me" page on my blog today. Did my one tweet of the day that even got retweeted. So that must have been reasonable. Thought about, and got ideas for, my short story that im calling The Exile.

Over the past year me and my friend have been talking on a daily basis over facebook messenger. He's a smart guy and we support each other's spirits.

Yesterday and today I've been listening to my sportify weekly curated playlists and they've been phenomenal. Usually one song is worth it, but this week its been 10 songs at least.
Thanks for this!
