#freezingcold

So, today I was filling up the fridge at work, and I noticed a spider. The fridge was absolutely freezing, but the spider was still moving! I don't understand how that's even possible. I found it pretty amazing. I’ve never seen a spider moving around inside a freezing cold fridge before.

Cold as Shit this morning taking the kids to the bus. It's so cold that none of the vehicles wanted to start. My brother had to jump my jeep with a battery jump starter. Holy balls. #15below #15belowzero #freezing #freezingcold #centraloregon #winter2023 (at La Pine, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoCysFhLKah/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I think each of us has profoundly affected someone without realizing it 🔮. At 18, I babysat 5 kids weeknights (.60¢/hr) 🧸; was a weekend salesgirl at Jay Jacobs & served on their fashion board 👗 ( $1.75/hr;) & after-school working for the US Coast Guard 🗃️. ($1.50 /hr thru the Neighborhood Youth Corps, an anti-poverty program. I qualified because my dad had left our family). 💸. George Bukota was a journalist 📰 in the USCG Public Information Office ⚓. He showed me how to crop photos, set “type” on a typewriter, & let me design my first brochure for the US Coast Guard Icebreaker, Northwind 🌬️. It was an eye-opening experience. As a high school student, I loved art & sold pen & ink drawings ✒️ in the Blue Banjo Gallery in Pioneer Square 🖼️. Nelleke Langhout, the owner, let me sell free from the commission. It was so cool to make money that way & it made me dream of becoming an artist 🎨. One day George took me aside & said I might earn a more stable livelihood as a graphic artist 💵. After the buzz from the Northwind brochure, it got me thinking & I decided to become a graphic designer 👩‍🎨. He never knew how his words affected me. It was the perfect career for me 😊. A few years ago, I tried to find him. He isn’t on FB, so I sent a message to someone I thought might be his wife but didn’t hear back... 📵 until this week! When we spoke 📱, I recognized his kind voice that helped save me from artistic delusions to find my creative path in graphic design 🌌. I’ve retold this story throughout my life 💬. It points to how we have no idea how our words can affect others 🗣️. My life could have turned out differently 🗺️. Would I have pursued my dream of living in NY as an artist 🖌️? Would I have married my HS sweetheart 👩‍❤️‍👨? Graphic design was the perfect choice for me & I finally thanked George for what he did for me 🙏. Has someone been pivotal in your life? Did you ever tell them? Happy holidays ❤️❄️ . .
