Sleet

Gone are the beautiful fluffy flakes of yesterday.  Today the weather was cold and windy with a mix of snow and sleet.  Five steps out of the apartment and Ellie was ready to call it a day.  I got her tucked down in the stroller as best I could and off we went.  As slick as everything was I didn’t feel safe using the ramps on the stairs so Ellie and I braved the elevator.  I feel like I could be in a Hefty commercial.  Stinky, Stinky, Stinky.  Oh well, at least it doesn’t automatically stimulate my gag reflex anymore. 

Today we were in search of a ham.  I have given up on Turkey for Thanksgiving Day.  Instead we are going to try a ham.  I haven’t seen a whole ham at our three local stores so I decided to head off to Radmansgatan.  The store there is a lot like an Aldi in that the stock seems to constantly change but they always seem to have a good meat selection.  We were able to find a ham about 7 lbs.  It was labeled “God Skinka” translation – good ham.  Hopefully it will be good.  Back at the apartment, the movers were there packing up Paul.  We don’t know him that well but it is sad to see him go since he is one of the few people we know here.
