Couldn't they have waited to put it up for sale in another 4-5 months?

Inconsiderate bastards!!

t waves

Morning all. No more snow fell here. The East coasters took it all.

Inconsiderate bastards!!

I know, right!?

Ginger, thank you very much!!!

Nora, is there no way you could pull it off now?

Do it now, Nora! Or at least give it a try.

Morning. Weird to hear of those of you who got the actual amount of snow promised--it did seem to snow a little more last night, but still not all that much--the biggest issue is probably that although the streets are clear-ish, they're wet, so they may freeze icy.

I really need to get off the couch and do laundry, though.

Do it now, Nora! Or at least give it a try.

Totally.

I figured I ought to do something useful with today, so I cleaned about half my kitchen (stove, outside of refridgerator, and floor.) The counter and sink and microwave might be this afternoon. I also tried to take a walk, but a lot of places didn't shovel (the Bosnian embassy, and several federal buildings), so I couldn't really walk in the direction I wanted to, and the other directions are kind of boring, so the walk wasn't very long.

R.I.P., Johnny Carson.

Crap.

Damn those Bosnians!

Ginger, thank you very much!!!

I hope your dumplings work out. Biscuits and dumplings are both tricksy things.

t Still not here. Must go back to removing commas.

Jen, if you read this today, drop a post to let us know that you're in one piece?

Nora is the sweetest.

So I woke up at 5 am, ready to brave the wilds of Somerville, and I saw that the snow was up past my knees and the road hadn't been plowed. I was planning to walk to the nearest T stop (about a mile away; it wouldn't have been fun) but I couldn't have done that without developing hypothermia.

So I called work and said all that. They said, hang tight for a little while and try again.

So I woke up again at 7 am, and it was the same story. Not possible to walk a mile, no way, no how.

I tried once more at 9 am and still there was no way I was going to be able to walk a mile down to the T. I said that if the National Guard wanted to come pick me up, I was ready to go, but otherwise I wasn't moving. They said, "Stay there," so I did, with "there" being defined as "in bed with the cat."

I could probably go in now, but there's another person who does my job scheduled to be there from 3-11, and she lives easy walking distance from the hospital. I wash my hands of it, particularly since I offered to sleep at the hospital last night so I'd be there in the morning and they said "no thanks."

So relieved that you are home safe Jen, I have been worried about you all day.
