Ours is supposed to come overnight, which I hope means a snow day tomorrow, since I am well enough to work, but by no means 100%.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, this was supposed to be rain. But no. Main event is set up to start late this afternoon.
I'm back from getting the work laptop. Roads were gross. I had a few nailbiter moments when I lost traction and did not go the direction I intended.
Expect to be yelling at Loki all day. He's being a mess.

OK, we LOVE my neighbor S's boyfriend. He's out there shoveling and shoveled up to where I stopped. Which is like 4 houses (I did 3 since I was out there to get to work and back.) He doesn't even (technically, but his car is here all the time) live here. (But he kinda does.) She gets all the handy helpful ones.

So sorry for your loss shrift. Much ~ma to your mom and to you.
Snow is smacking us here too, but someone forgot to tell the schools. I can hear cars slipping and figure that I might feel safer driving in an hour or two, but today is a half day anyway. So, I'm thinking of calling it a snow day. Or, because DH was up all night w/stomach flu, just a plain old fashioned sick day for the house. Still need to go to the grocery store though. Blek.

Sox, maybe you can find a coupon for grocery delivery?
My ride into work was not bad, although on some of the slushy streets where you couldn't see the painted lines people were making it up as they drove along. They were All Wrong, of course. We'll all be watching out the window to see when the change over to all snow happens and then click to update our email relentlessly until we get word we can close and go home - hint, hint Mr. Uni President.
Shrift, I'm so sorry. My best to you and your family.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Four helicopters hovering over Loyola. Wonder what's going on.

I think I need to shut off the radio. I can't focus and I need to skim through reports spanning the last 17 years for software issues, and I just can't get into it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
How long is the snow supposed to last in DC? (My sister is supposed to be flying out here tomorrow morning.)
sarameg - Jan 26, 2011 3:54:56 am PST #19039 of 30001
Um, the bulk of it is this afternoon/overnight. Warning lasts until 4 am right now. I think I'm getting much worse than DC, but she should probably spend the day checking in with the airline.
Cats keep taking my seat.

I love those. But it's next-day or after and tomorrow is supposed to be digging out from the rest of the 6-12 inches we're getting. Weather people are talking about bands of the storm, so hopefully we'll catch a break and I can take the sled up to the co-op, AND the co-op will be open and not filled with crazy people.
Ok, that's asking much, isn't it.
