Bad accident on freeway + rushed request for us to report earlier = frantic morning.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Happy birthday, Olivia!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just went to the grocery store; it was pretty crowded for a Tuesday morning. Lots of people stocking up on Diet Coke and whatnot....

Last night's news had the usual report from the local grocery store. One Jewel on the north side was reporting that they had all the registers going, and the line was seven deep for hours in the afternoon and evening.

Last night I went to the Dominicks on Clark (the one a block south of Howard) at 5:45. It was kinda' busy but not too bad.

Is that the one across from the Whole Foods? I drove by it on New Years Day with my friend Tami, who lives up there, while we were heading towards the movie theatre in Evanston.

Nope. It's in this outdoor mall thing that borders Howard (right next to the Howard CTA station). Across the street are some car dealerships.

I went to the store in KC at about 3 yesterday, and it wasn't bad. I wonder how it was after more people got off work, though.
GUYS! I SLEPT NORMALLY LAST NIGHT!!!
I am out of Ambien, but I went to sleep after giving Gosford Park a 2nd try (still didn't love it) and I fell asleep about 20 minutes after laying down at midnight and slept through the night just fine!
Seriously, I post this because the last time this happened was...I don't even know. 10 years? 15?
Obviously, I need to watch GP every night in pre-blizzard conditions. That MUST the be magic, right?
My life plan is SET! I'll be quitting my job tomorrow, since obviously the pre-announced snow day was a factor, as well.
It is snowing busily and expected to get worse as the afternoon progresses. DH texted that fed employees are leaving earlier, and employees who can WFH are instructed to do so. He's a contractor, so he doesn't know if he will leave early yet -- they never have -- but it's a possibility.
I hope so, since a state of emergency has been declared and people are instructed not to drive unless absolutely essential.
I have a carton of smokes, plenty of food and a ton of papers to grade. I am set.
