100 days until spring. First of all, I had something happen ala @NJChicaa. As you know, she has been receiving gifts from an anonymous person. I received two chocolate oranges -- one in milk chocolate and one in dark chocolate. I have my suspicions; but I don't know for sure who sent them. Was it you? Whoever it was, thank you very much and you shouldn't have! Thank you for the Christmas cards that I'm receiving. Normally by now I have mine in the mail; but I haven't even started. With all that's going on, I've been kind of lacking in the Christmas spirit. I will get to them...I promise! I also have 9 calls to make. The phone problem was supposed to be solved on the 10th; but we still don't have a landline. I had mentioned before about coffee prices taking a jump. I hope you stocked up with you favorite brew. Coffee prices have now hit a record high due to the weather. An Australian lab has lost 323 deadly virus samples: Most are of the Lyssavirus which causes rabies, 100 vials of the Hendra virus which has a 57% fatality rate and 2 vials of the Hantavirus which also has a high fatality rate. Chief Health Officer John Gerrard has reported that the virus will degrade rapidly outside of freezing conditions. An investigation is underway. The Arctic has historically reduced global emissions. Now with wildfires and rising air temperatures the permafrost is breaking down and releasing carbon into the atmosphere. The mailbox man had me text a picture of the broken mailbox. He claims that a new post is needed. I don't know how he figures that since the old post is covered by the mailbox post. I am suspicious. My husband's 2nd cousin picked up a load of groceries, picked up my prescription and worked on my to-do list for almost 4 hours. She's coming back on Friday. We enjoyed a frozen Uno Chicago Style Pizza after she was done. Darn it! I had a filling fall out for the second time. Will have to go back to the dentist.
