Also, my back is sore. I'm blaming Winter.

Me, too! Stupid Winter!

My flight has been cancelled. I called the hotel I was supposed to check into tonight and moved my reservation to check in tomorrow. I think I've been rebooked on a flight tomorrow that connects through DFW, but I'm waiting in a queue for the airline to call me back to confirm. After I do that, I need to move around some meetings.

At least the important meeting I was supposed to go to on early Wednesday morning has been moved to next week, so I don't have to worry about screeching into that on fumes.

if you get stuck in DFW, I am 10 minutes away. Doubt you would, but just in case.

Art Crawl!!!

I got a text and an email from the University saying to STAY PUT between 11 and 4 due to the weather.

Nice.

And students are to get in touch with their professors to see if their classes are meeting. (Difficult to go to class and stay put at the same time.)

Thanks, msbelle! If, for some reason, I do get stuck in DFW, I totally will impose upon you.

The winter storm is a pain in the ass, mostly in that the universe keeps making me get on the phone and call people to fix shit. But I'm trying to see it as a net positive. I get to enjoy today as a holiday, I have a little more time to finish off the fruit & veg in the refrigerator, and this hasn't ruined any of my fun plans with friends. I just have to wrangle some meetings and make expense report changes, which isn't the worst thing in the world.

Wow, just found out the musician whose family founded my org is going to be inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Eiffel tower is awesome! Jesse at the Eiffel tower is awesomer!

Glad you're feeling better today, Anne. I have to ask about the "pile" of modems and routers?

I whacked about eight inches off the ends of my hair a week or two ago. H trimmed up the back for me (that was difficult. He worries. Dude, it's just hair, and I can't cut backwards). It's a chin-length bob, the front just long enough to pull back when I can't stand it. Don't mind hair on my neck, but hair on my face is crazy-making.

I've been reading along, just going through one of those inarticulate periods. So, hi.

HI BEV!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

On the bright side, the city looks a little cleaner (for a little while). The sidewalk canyons are still lined with yellow though.

Oh, my god, airline. You call back at the exact moment I'm in the bathroom?! Now I'm back in the goddamn queue again.
