And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It was sunny when I woke up too, but there's about an inch of snow on the ground that wasn't there last night.

Now tagless for your comfort.

What's a snow squall?

A brief, intense fall of snow of a showery nature, usually accompanied by gusty surface winds.

Makes for shitty visability and immediately slick roads. It usually takes people by surprise and lots of people wind up in ditches.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Back from taking the cat to the vet. Other than losing a bit of weight, she's in good health. She seems to have forgiven me for the vet trip already.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh. Meanwhile, it's pouring rain in Boston, from what I hear.

What is even happening?

It's snowing like bastard, 10 miles north.

This was the word from my nearly-blind grandmother, so take it with a grain of salt, perhaps.

I figured out (from some very nice illustrations) how to do a double cast-on with yarn! Go team me!

I've also embarked on a project to crochet plastic grocery bags into a useful front door mat. Ph3ar mi Krapht skillz!

No, it's still raining here. Really. It's like we're our own weather system or something. Perhaps my distaste is finally forcing the snow to avoid us.

Theo, I think we're the ones with our own weather system. In-laws to the north are reporting rain. You all are reporting rain. If not for DX, I'd think our town was the last place in NE getting snow.

Back from taking the cat to the vet. Other than losing a bit of weight, she's in good health. She seems to have forgiven me for the vet trip already.

Just got back from doing the same. Mine's put on a few pounds, and the little bare patch on her tummy that I just assumed was from when she was spayed last year? It's actually from obsessive licking, which means she's bored, which means I'm a bad kitty mommy! I feel really bad about this, and am resolved to invest big bucks in getting a tall cat-climbing tree-thingy that will take care of more exercise and keeping her entertained. I just don't know where to put it in my 1BR apartment.

Also, I have to put eyedrops into her eye three times a day for the next two weeks to try and clear up some chronic conjunctivitis that she's had since before I adopted her last year. She never sat still for me to put in the ointment the shelter gave me, so I have no idea how she'll put up with the eyedrops.

But, she is now chipped and her claws are finally trimmed, so it was worth the $212 for the checkup.
