...and NOW it's snowing.
The cold snap did hit us last week, right on schedule. The snow hung back for a week and is now here. Yesterday I met up with someone at a coffee shop about 11 miles away. We caught up and talked for a bit, and I left when it started snowing and sticking. On my drive home, my car notified me that something (on the front of the car?) was blocked, and thus my threat mitigation features wouldn't work. I had no idea what it could be talking about, but the car still drove, so I just slowed down a little bit and paid attention and drove home. The Honda logo on the CRV's front grill was completely iced over. (I guess that's where the sensors are...obviously I need to read up on the manual.)
I am VERY glad that I got my fireplace cleaned and serviced. That's been providing a nice heat boost to the house while the outdoors transforms into a winter wonderland.
In other slightly scary news, my cat Amy may have mast cell cancer. I have an appointment for her in a month to get several of the nodules removed and get her organs checked for mast cells. My vet told me, and I've read online, that cats with mast cell cancer may live a decade more. For Amy, that would be age 19, which is a good run for a cat. I still intend to take her with me to Mexico. There's a veterinary college in Mexico City, and I'm initially going to live in the central highlands, so that college may be a possibility if she needs specialized treatments. I'll learn as much as I can, give her the best quality of life possible for as long as possible. She's one of my three void-babies.
