We are in the middle of the snowstorm and I am at work. They never cancel, and i always come out of sheer bloodimindedness.
If you ever hear that I died in a snowbank, avenge my death!
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Amy, the kid is 6. Katie stayed up with all of the kids, I think. She's actually the one who agreed to watch the kid and technically it's her friend's kid so she agreed to handle it.
Dad arrived between 10 and 11. Unreal especially if you all know how bedtime is a super big deal in our family. Our kids were in bed at 7:00 PM on New Years Eve!

Dad arrived between 10 and 11.
That is appalling. I hope K ripped him up one side and down the other and that he crawled to your front door on hands and knees, groveling.

Grrr. Not acceptable!
It's sunny out but it looks like it is snowing due to the wind. Not dealing with it yet.

I’m leaving for work now. Instead of walking five blocks to work, I’m going to walk one block to the subway and take it one stop.

Tom, I took one bus two blocks so I could catch another bus, rather than walking up a hill in the snow.

I made it to the Catskills mostly ahead of the serious snow, in a rental SUV that felt safe. Here's to all the people who have to be at work, you are heroes all.
It's 3F here, but that is actually pretty normal for this time of year, and the house is warm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesus, Kat! I would be livid.
I am staying home! Yay! And working. Boo.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Midtown Manhattan is pretty well shoveled. (The sidewalks are cleaner than the streets.) And the B/Q were running local but otherwise fine.
The most difficult part of my commute was getting to the end of my block, since our porter hadn't shown up yet to shovel in front of the building.
DH is home with the kids since schools are closed. There's basically nobody in the office.
HOWEVER, the Friday bagels are late, which is unacceptable. I need my carbs!
