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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I think my parents' dog has sedative properties.

Devi curled up on me.

I napped.

I haven't made it off the couch, but I did my taxes! So that's something. I should really go outside.
