You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes. I like our headline on boston.com: Storm will be both lion, lamb. Because we're only going to get a couple of inches closer to the coast, but within a couple hours' drive, it will be that 10-14".

Woo-hoo! Snow day! I have to do a little work at home, but I don't have to put on a bra if I don't want to. Yay! And we might get up to five more inches of snow this afternoon.

hip deep in pie

My mom called this AM saying that my dad is in the hospital. I don't really know much, since my mom is confused and in denial on the best of days. I do know he asked to be taken to the hospital, and that they decided to keep him overnight and now they are checking his pacemaker/defibrillator.

I am also completely out of spoons. It's already been a crap week, and I don't really have anything left to cope with this. It may be nothing, but I decided to stay home from work until I hear how he's doing. Some -ma would be appreciated.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's going to change to rain here later today. Yuck.

Oh, Sue. I hope it ends up low drama.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Looks like the beginning of a slow snow day -- not enough to close schools in Somerville or declare a Snow Emergency (which I suspect they may end up sorry about).

Oh Sue. I hope it's something easily resolvable.

Around 7:30, the accumulation totals given by the NWS switched to 12-18" for the area. Uh huh.

Lots of -ma, Sue. It's so hard to not really know what the situation is, and being out of spoons is never easy.
