Today is one of the coldest days in over 20 years. The temperature is going to be down to -10 tonight with wind chills at -45. We are experiencing what they have called a polar vortex. The dogs have been warm in the garage with their heated dog mats and straw lined pen. When they go out they are not staying out long. We have the temperature of the house set at 67 and tend to wear hoodies but tonight there is a strong wind blowing and can feel it on the floor and the furnace is not off for long before it starts up again. I went up to Columbus to get dog food and went to Kohls for blankets that were on sale. I was supposed to have a massage but forgot to schedule it and when called Jay he was sick so that worked out ok and he will hopefully be better next week and I can go up then. Today was busy at work I had 4 consults. Since noon I have had four more and took myself out til Wednesday. I can't do clinic, rounds on the 4 old patients and see 4 new patients let alone more consults so everyone will know my table is full until Wednesday. I am hoping we will get another ID doctor in the next year or so but with all the changes at the hospital and in the FHP group it may be a while. I guess it is job security. David is meditating as I write this then we will have our daily snack before bed, floss our teeth and brush them then head to bed with the dogs and cat and snuggle in for a cold night.
