The Day in Spikedluv (Tuesday, Oct 28)
Oct. 29th, 2025 07:15 amThe alarm woke me up from the strangest dream. It was a snow-pocalypse. Snow-mageddon? I was standing out in the snow – so much snow – and in the distance I could see a high drift of snow, not like a mountain of snow, more like a really tall but thin drift of snow (like, several stories high) that looked like it could collapse at any moment. And then it did collapse and it was scary. All that snow falling. If it had been a wave, there would’ve been a tsunami. I can only think that my subconscious is telling me how much I’m going to hate the upcoming winter and any snow we get.
I didn’t do any shopping this morning, but I did freeze my ass off at McD’s. I don’t know what’s going on with this owner; the person who took my order said that she has complained to upper management before, but no one does anything. Someone (a former employee who still has connections with other employees) told me that he’s refusing to turn on the heat until it reaches 30 degrees outside. Well, I would like to inform him that it ~has reached 30 degrees outside, thank you very much.
(I looked it up once before, and there is no law/regulation as to how warm a business has to keep their premises, unfortunately.) But I did send a complaint via their website. I also plan to look them up on Yelp or something to leave a bad review. I figured that might get their attention. What’s the best place for that? Update: I left the same review on Yelp and Google Reviews.
I drove mom to her treatment, did a load of laundry, hand-washed dishes, went for a couple walks with Pip and the dogs, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, and scooped kitty litter. I stopped at Sunnycrest on the way home from mom’s to get more beef sticks for Pip. Given the option, Pip chose leftovers for supper again instead of having me cook something new to add to the leftovers in the fridge.
I watched some HGTV programs and did a skim re-watch of Top Gun to take some notes. I’m also excited because I was going through the guide and found a station that I love, but that Spectrum was not carrying when we switched. Nat Geo Wild! I get to see my vet and zoo shows again!! Sciatica pain was very low level again today. Hopefully this means it's really on the way out this time.
Temps started out at 25.9(F) and reached 53.2. There was some sun, but it was still cold.
Mom Update:
Mom was doing okay today. ( more back here )
