In other news, my mini fluevogs don't fit comfortably anymore. WTF?! This is NOT good.

Nooooo! weeps in sympathy with you

Consuela, I hope tomorrow is much, much better for you and your mom.

I just sent the draft of the proposal for my YA project to my sanity check people. I can haz teeny nervous breakdown nao?

I am lisah and Kat, except with me it's my hip.

I'm freshly reminded of why I hate O'Hare. And most airports. And most people.

I think my flight's full of babies and baseball players. And one couple wearing straw hats.

Time for a wheelchair; even if she manages this, she's never gonna be fully mobile again

Oh my, Suela. That's so tough.

Shrift, where are you off to again?

Ventura, Brenda.

I'm connecting in Phoenix. I guess it's spring training?

Heavy snow expected in area tonight; 115-year record should fall

Fuckity.

A National Weather Service winter weather advisory that predicts 3 to 5 inches of snow is in effect in the Chicago area and northwest Indiana beginning at 6 p.m. this evening until 9 a.m. Friday.

Locally higher amounts are possible, according to the National Weather Service.

In any case, enough snow should fall in Chicago to break the February snowfall record of 27.8 inches set 115 years ago in 1896. So far, exactly 27 inches have been recorded at O'Hare International Airport, the official reporting station.

Consuela, I hope today is better, and tomorrow even more so. You've had more than your fair share of crap to deal with, lately.

We have all been sick with various ick, so I am overtired and very grouchy. Today would have been a great day to stay home and throw stuff out, but, alas, I am too far behind at work and I've already had to take a week's worth of time off this month to take care of my daughter and other assorted things. Bah.

tommyrot, at least it's record-breaking and not just generally miserable? I don't know, I always feel better knowing it really is that extreme.

I forgot to bring an umbrella, and it's going to rain all afternoon, apparently. Meh.
