A tweet from the Trib says that overnight we (well, Chicago) could be getting 3-4 inches of snow per hour.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Yay Gracie and Happy Birthday Olivia!
I want the Snowpocalypse so bad-- I want a snow day. I am pretty sure I won't be going in to work tomorrow and my boss is OK because I worked last Saturday, but honestly, i am salried and that shouldn't matter. I will feel guilty if my ride goes in and I don't, especially since I also have 2 meetings at the theatre. If it snows a lot, I have no guilt!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yay Grace! Happy Birthday, Olivia!
Everybody dealing with snow and ice, be safe and well!

Oooh, Happy birthday, Liv!
I knew I was forgetting something.
Snow day for Sophia!

Daley is calling for the governor to declare a state of emergency, which I hope he does, because if so, then my day off tomorrow turns into a snow day and not a PTO one, since the offices will then be closed.

Oh, and my lights were just flickering a bit. NOOOO!!!
Mine did that earlier. I dug out one of those flashlight headlamps my dad put in our christmas stockings one year, and I have some candles. But I hope it doesn't happen.
I'm roasting right now because I have the heat cranked on the theory that if the power does go out it'll take longer to get cold.
Did not make it to the dog park. (Which is, like, 150 yards or less.) The wind is so strong it was painful. And something about the way it's blowing meant that my side of the street was basically clear, but the other side was up to my knees. Plus the dog was freaking right out from the crazy wind. Oy.
And tomorrow we take all this and add bitter cold.

I always feel bad for my neighbor and his dogs in bad weather. He has a couple of whippets or mini-greyhounds or whatever they are. Lazy wee lapdogs, very high strung and they eventually decided to like me. Loki probably weighs more. They have NO body fat or fur, and I'll hear him out back, exhorting them to PEE DAMNIT! I'm surprised he hasn't set up a litterbox/pee parlor in the basement.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Instead of a snow day tomorrow the theatre I'm working in is putting us up in a hotel tonight. It's a working snowpocalypse for me.

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 was trying to get my boss to just tell me not to come in tomorrow, but he was all "We'll wait and see." He's always skeptical about these snopocalypse weather predictions. So I'll have to get up early tomorrow and send him an email: "Yep, the governor said to stay indoors" or whatever before I can climb back into bed. It's crazyness!!

Write it tonight, roll over and hit send when you hit the mute on the alarm. God knows I've done it.
