Wow!

It's boomin' around here!

Congrats, Kalshane.

Congratulations Kalshane!

In me me me news -- I thought, for some reason, that I would be able to walk around town today. Hahahahahaha.

I had little errands around town -- drop off the rent, pay off the library fines (so I can request many many books) stop off at Walgreens. . . sounds fairly simple. It would have tired me out because of my damn leg - even without the snow. With the snow. . . well, I don't know how the hell I'm going to get from my house to the bus stop when there is NO PATH there. In front of most people's houses and right in front of businesses downtown and most parking lots -- all okay but around the railroad tracks and any business that for some reason doesn't feel that the sidewalk counts - not only no path but extra high walls of snow from all the plowing.

Also the two main streets have a center pile of snow that totally impedes your view of oncoming traffic when you're trying to cross the street.

I realize this will be better eventually. Just probably not by Monday. (And I need to get to grocery store and right now I'm not sure how that's going to be possible.)

Thanks, all.

At least now I know that I'll have some form of postive contribution to the future. (Well, provided the kid doesn't turn out to be an axe-murderer or something.)

That's always fun.

I've been super-lazy in regards to the snow. So far I've only shoveled the path from my house to my garage and just enough of my driveway I can pull my car in and out of the garage without it getting stuck. Though I'll have to make sure everything is clear by next weekend so the gf can get to and from her car when she's here.

Congratulations, Kalshane!

sumi, is there a grocery store in the area that delivers? That might be your best option, today.

Why do I go to the library book sale? I should know better.

YAY Kalshane.

I don't think that there is -- this is a small town.

I think part of what is both frustrating and freaking me out is that I'm feeling like I'm seeing a glimpse into my future and it's scary - you know to not be able to do stuff and also not really have people who can help you out. (I mean, I have people who would -- if they were here but the people I'm closest to don't actually live in any great proximity to me.

Okay, so I had some chocolate, iced my leg (now I'm all chilled), cuddled the cat Ivan and watched a bit of Pirates of the Caribbean. Feeling m uch better now. Up to going downstairs and checking on the boiler.

Congrats, Kalshane!!

Great, so tomorrow morning, I get to angst about xmas shopping?

Nah, you'll be out of the woods as long as you're not angsting about raising children.

So I only bought one thing that may be for me, but ended up taking a long walk through the Village, which was great. I saw carolers! Now I have a beer.

YAY beer.

I have thoughts of making black bean soup tomorrow, so that's why I needed.... a six pack.
