not your mom's socks.

Liese, I hope things get much better today.

Our heat pump has quit, so I'm there with you. It took me ages to realize, since we use gas below a certain temp, but the past few days have featured a freezing house at midday. I thought the thermostat at first, but no. It's the 1 year old heat pump. If this has anything to do with our most recent heart-dropping gas bill, I'm tempted to ask the guys who installed the heater to deal with some of the bill. Wish I could really do that.

Here's hoping Matilda feels better.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm pretty wide open, I think.

Me, too, I think. I'll check my calendar when I get to work.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I came here all ready to bitch about it being 14F outside this morning with easily 3 feet of snow still unmelted... and a car that won't start...

and um, realized that at least I have a warm house and plowed streets and the right clothes to walk to work in.

Trust my rage

I was driving home yesterday on the interstate and it was slightly snowing. Suddenly, everyone was braking and whe my brakes didn't respond I pulled into the shoulder. It was so weird- I know how to drive in snow but my car wouldn't stop. It didn't swerve or anything like that from ice/slipping and the ABS/traction system didn't kick in. The car just wouldn't stop for about 100yds.

Well, I have a Prius and later I realized that maybe that is connected to my weird stopping. I already was talking about this on LJ but now I'm sort of freaked out to drive my car the 85 miles to court this morning and then back.

yikes everyone! be safe, and warm.

We were supposed to be watching one of mac's classmates today, but with the new snow one of the parents is staying home. I was looking forward to him having someone to play with.

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.

Oh, boy, msbelle, that is a disappointment.

Liese, I'm glad you got to be safe and warm overnight.

Punishingly Intricate

I am at Hopkins getting some tests (to confirm what doc and I believe is nothing). It is super weird to be here, on one of our regular floors, but not for something related to the cancer. I tell you what, the cardiologist department is super organized with tickets and beepers and whatnot. I, on the other hand, am disorganized and slow and can't get anywhere on time this week. So frustrated with myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Stay safe and warm, everyone! I am glad my biggest issue of the morning was a too-hot shuttle van.

you lucky dog.

I am finally getting the second round of holiday cards out. Family got out before mid-January, but then things got buried.
