Timelies all!
The repair guy never showed up. Turns out the appointment didn't make it into the system after all. We've rescheduled for the 23rd. sigh.
Have fun in Ireland, Sue!
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Trust my rage
So as I was making my coffee downstairs, with all the kids upstairs, I decided to have a bite if double chocolate brownie with my coffee. So good, but even better I junk because I was hiding it from the kids.

Thanks for all the bon voyage wishes and airport advice. I'm sure there will be pics and posts.
Can I ask for some flight-ma too? The snow has stopped, but it's still super windy and I don't think there's been a flight that's left YHZ since Friday night. My flight's not until 5, so there's lots of time...but I am anxious seeing the departures board all reds and yellows.
Also, my mother does not know I am going. I feel terrible about lying to her, but at this point I think she will totally melt down. I am going to email her when I get to Ireland. (My dad does know I am going.) I don't know why I feel so guilty...I have lied to my mother a million times about a million different things.
I just had to shovel a 3 ft. drift from my front steps. This wind can stop blowing anytime now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah -- good luck actually getting out.

They can't run the underground stuff?
Not if the people who run the stuff can’t make it to work.

Fair point. But the roads are pretty good, at least as far as I saw yesterday.

Argh, how do I not have toothpaste. I know I stood in that aisle trying to decide which flavor to get last time I went to the store, did I seriously not make up my mind? Come on, self, get with the program.

Did you just put it somewhere wrong when you got home?
And now I see they are bringing back some subway and bus service this afternoon, so that's good.

Maybe? I've looked everywhere that it seems likely I would put it. It might turn up in the freezer or something, I suppose. I already tossed the receipt so I can't tell whether I bought any or not.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Public transit is still not running here today. I think that is ridiculous! They can't run the underground stuff?
Huh. During our big blizzard a couple years ago the buses were well and truly screwed and the Metra trains had problems with switches freezing, but I think most of the CTA lines kept running. I know the red line did.
