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!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My mother hired some neighbor kids to do our steps, and I haven't heard the other neighbor running the snowblower yet, so I think I'm pretty well settled, not doing anything.

I should go out and sweep so the sun can attempt to do some work, but I've got a meeting in a few and the cold really sets off the sneezing....

My kids were fighting and I told them if they didn't stop I would make them go shovel the driveway and they LOVED that idea and got dressed and went outside. It's like a January 3 miracle. (It's 7 degrees here, and we only have a couple of inches but it's icy and coooold.)

I don't see any signs of neighbor kids, and feel like I should get out there. Also, i can't get my work computer on the wifi, because I think my mother lost the password. Ugh!

Wifi? Successful! Neighbor kids? Out there! Me? Now working, I guess.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's 20 degrees here in Virginia and that is quite cold enough for me! My office in New Jersey is closed but I'm working anyway. Bless everyone who braved the elements, and be safe!

So, I shouldn't mention it's 60 degrees here and the forecast says it will be cooler than yesterday, but still 72 degrees?

Ohmigod! So the story goes like this, the kid's father wasn't in the Bay Area like he told K and the kid's mom. He was in DC and stranded at Dulles, but every time he spoke to K he made it seem like he was just in San Francisco because he didn't want the kid's mom to know that he was out of state. WTF?!?
