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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's weird having a Sunday morning. I still had my early morning work duties (given that they left stuff broken, it went rather smoothly, and I didn't have to disturb anyone else), but my head KILLS. I did not bargain for this when I decided I'd finish up shopping for dinner ingredients etc this morning. Der. There's a reason I'm in the ER by now, and it's not reflex.
It's not insurmountable. I just have to learn to schedule around it if she's coming at 2 or 3 every week. Sunday morning will still be a no go zone.
However, on this first one, I do at least have to make it to the pharmacy. Wish me fortitude.
Sue--very exciting! Is it too much to ask why you can't tell your mother (mine seems to be convinced I'll die if I get meds outside of a hospital, but she's communicating calmly, so that's okay)?
