Frost on the lawn and leaves. That&#8217;s the first frost I have seen this winter.<\/p>\n<p>Oh wait, it&#8217;s not even winter yet. Oh well. Oh cold.<\/p>\n<p>Fed the animals today. Cold, cold hands. Water and buckets and sliding doors with metal handles. Cold, cold hands. The sun started coming out as I was getting done, though. Warmed me up a bit. Other than the cold everything was fine. Lots of sweet animals. I will post some pictures tomorrow. Too tired to get them done now.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, there&#8217;s less than a week till the Greenland trip. It&#8217;s almost time to panic now. Almost. You know, when I figured I was going blind and all there was a part of me that thought &#8220;well if I&#8217;m going to get emergency laser surgery then maybe I won&#8217;t have to go on the Greenland trip&#8221;. Always look on the bright side.<\/p>\n<p>There have been no drastic changes to my eyesight so far. I&#8217;m not blind yet. I am even sort of getting used to the floater in my eye. It&#8217;s not so annoying anymore. At least I don&#8217;t feel like clawing my eyes out. So that&#8217;s a plus. I could learn to live with the floater. Sometimes I make it dance in tune to the music I&#8217;m listening to.<\/p>\n<p>I have made a shopping date with my dad. He&#8217;s going to come downtown and meet me when my appointment at the eye doc is done. Then we&#8217;ll go buy boots. He took a look at my old boots and proclaimed that nope, they would not cut it in Greenland. I don&#8217;t know if you have heard, but it&#8217;s cold in Greenland. So I&#8217;m going to buy new ones. And they&#8217;re going to cost me a thousand (Danish) bucks. That&#8217;s a lot to spend on footwear. Much, much more than I would usually spend. But I am assured that not only will my feet be nice and warm in Greenland but the boots will last me a lifetime back here in Denmark too. So I guess it&#8217;s worth it in the end.<\/p>\n<p>I also need a hat. As much as I love the cap Debster got me, it won&#8217;t keep my ears warm I&#8217;m afraid. So a warm hat. Maybe some new gloves too. The ones I have now aren&#8217;t very handy. The fingers are too long. It makes it hard to operate a camera while wearing them. I hope I can find something that better fits my stubby little chopsticks.<\/p>\n<p>But enough about me. Let&#8217;s go to sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twas a cold morning. Frost on the lawn and leaves. That&#8217;s the first frost I have seen this winter.
