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

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

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.

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)?
