Some sun today and a bit more than an inch of snow overnight. It is about 5F right now and only expected to top out at about 10F. Much too cold to do anything outside. Tomorrow is supposed to be slightly warmer but still colder. I am considering when to put in an Instacart order. Even when I was much younger I wouldn't go out to shop either today or tomorrow so I don't want to get anyone else out. Wednesday looks like a better option.
I have already been busy today getting my laundry which has sat in the dryer since my fall last Friday. I still feel some pain on my ribs when I move wrong but it is much better. I got the clothes folded and a piece of Swiss steak cooked. When that cools I will move it to the fridge. I baked it for about four hours at 250F. We won't eat it today. I have meatloaf sandwiches planned for today.
It's MLK, Jr. day and Heather Cox Richardson has a meditation on what makes a hero. I have thought for some time that people in our society expect an inhuman degree of perfection in heroes. And some are inclined to dismiss the title of HERO for anyone who falls short of their definition of perfection. It reminds me of the Parson Weems depiction of George Washington which gave us the cherry tree and "I cannot tell a lie" story. It was a total fabrication.
