"Darn" isn't a euphemism. It's predicted to be well below zero
tomorrow, and my alpaca tights need mending.

I wonder whether people who use Celsius exclusively have a name for
the temperature at which road salt stops working and below which
frozen food will keep forever.

Ah, well, I need driving practice and we are getting low on seltzer
and other things too heavy to bring home by bike.

Yes, I did bring home a case of beer bungeed to the rack of my bike
once. *Once*.

And if I put two cartons of seltzer in my panniers, there isn't any
room for anything else. I want at least half a dozen, and also
Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper. We're also low on frozen "I don't feel
like cooking tonight"s.

I did climb stairs three times today. When we had a multi-floor
house, I'd climb stairs more than three times per hour when I had a
load of wash in. But I was really glad to be all on one floor this
time last year, when my meralgia parasthetica advanced into sciatica.
All praise to the guy who invented fluoroscopic steroid shots!
