-5c here - finally getting some proper winter weather! No snow though. We had snow last week, but then it got super warm and it all melted.

Hoping that the trip home is uneventful - transit has been a complete gong show lately. Last week my train was over 30 min late - I bailed and worked from home instead.

Yesterday an ENTIRE LINE of the subway was down - luckily it was back up by the time I got there, but things were super crowded.

Today I was 45 min late to work because of another train delay. Apparently a vehicle ended up on the tracks, so the emergency crews had to come and remove it, and the whole line backed up with trains holding at every station.

What timing!

Anyway, I am due to be conscripted. But I have physical disabilities so I expect not to make the cut, but when push comes to shove I have decided to ask if I can enlist for a non physical job like cyber warfare. I don't want to sit and watch my country burn.

In other news, I am going to my husband's office Christmas party for the first time today. Wondering what to wear :laugh:

I am also going to my husband’s office Christmas party today! Took me a while to figure out what to wear - I decided on a casual dress, and black tights. Not sure if I will wear heels since I’ve been having odd foot pain lately (I do plan to see the doc, but my appointment isn’t until after the holiday).

We were asked to be festive so I decided to wear a red gala dress with black tights and gold decorations. Not wearing heels because reuma makes that impossible, I'm wearing shining gold/black laquered boots. Will post a pic later!

It’s Christmas - exception to the crowd rule, though I have to say, shops are rarely crowded on the weekends any more.

Well, maybe the shops (grocery stores) are less crowded on the weekends at the moment--I know that they were crowded up here prior to Thanksgiving on the weekends and the Saturday after turkey less so...I have a feeling the closer we get to Christmas the more crowded everywhere is going to be. I think I will be finishing most of the rest of my list buying online!

I was out for a bit today and it was crazy for a Friday afternoon.
