And it's beginning to snow...

* Appointment rides
* Congratulated Nora on stuff
* Made decaf cold brew, which is delicious but sufficiently unleaded that I'm not up all night
* had a nasty sore throat, attacked it with tea & zinc lozenges
* Appointment rides
* Made plans with our gaming friends to do games & dinner for maybe the second time since 2020, really
* Forgot about the details of the dinner plans
* Discovered one of my meds was critically low & still at the ex-pharmacy (it had not transferred over)
* had a Deeply Annoyed fit of attempting to transfer the remaining prescriptions
* Costco's pharmacy website will load on our network, but Something about it does not allow login on my main machine & browser
* same credentials as costco.com login, which Does work on my main browser
* fortunately it loads on my phone
* Fortunately you can do some things with it while logged out
* fit a shopping trip into the early afternoon & figured out where & how to truncate it
* Finished Penric's Fox, started Penric's Mission -- hello, Nikys
* Encouraged Steph to take some of the spare cinnamon rolls out to the cottage to enjoy while potentially snowed in
* I had previously fit most of our Games Night bag into the pink dragon bag
* brought the card holders & game we'd found
* Some artichoke game suitable for kids
* Cascadia (always fun; this time I had more success with elk and red-assed hawks than previously)
* Pizza!!
* Went home in a timely manner
* SNOW!!!! (Which I felt no need to go out and touch.)
* Finished Murder with Peacocks again in the bedtime audiobook cycle, may keep the book until expired for daytime listening
* Had previously filled some bedtime pill boxes with everything but my rare med (because I don't have much of a buffer on that one yet) so filling them the rest of the way was pretty swift
* Filled the remaining empty bedtime boxes minus the rare med, to wait for next month
* Found the markers and labeled the incoming meds containers with my System (and found the purple marker just slightly too late to be useful)
* While I was at it, split my new jar of pain med into weekly bags (which go back in the jar) which means collecting up some of the empty weekly bags and re-dating them (occasionally writing more detail, as my system has evolved and there are still early bags kicking about with some life in them)
* Watched some GBBO while doing all this
* Figured out some of the details of mixing frozen orange juice for Belovedest by the cup (the 30mL metal coffee scoop is key; 2 scoops per 6oz water; I considered using one of the many tablespoon measures but plastic spoon vs. frozen concentrate is not a good plan)
* they have some cruddy nose + throat, probably the same one I had had; they are applying tea and I may also convince them of the benefits of hot lemonade
* my stash of tabasco jellybeans from some forgotten white elephant or something are a sovereign treatment for sore cruddy throats
* Thinking about Pete & Bas while loading the dish washer
* more peppered carrot slaw with avocado and balsamic vinaigrette! Didn't over-ripen the avocado like I was afraid I had!!! Thinking about making this J-safe by subbing mustard for pepper and using a safe vinaigrette. (The presence of pepper to start with is because there isn't any cabbage, so mustard's an easy thought for that role, given the way cabbage is a domesticated wild mustard.) Still easily vegan provided the dressing is vegan and there's no meat garnish.
