We have Anne W's weather, except 6 hours later. It's sleeting right now. There's an open house we could walk to, but it seems likely to be cancelled; I suppose I should call and find out.

I really like True Detective, but maybe half of why is because it is set in Baton Rouge and environs and it really looks like it. I'm constantly looking at the backgrounds and getting nostalgic for my childhood - even the interiors look like the house I grew up in or my friends' houses, although what the difference is between those interiors and what's in the background of every other show I could not tell you.

Round one of dishes dealt with, goat pot roast is in the crockpot. I did kind of a lot before I had breakfast and coffee, so now I am taking a break with a ginormous mug. Still to do: more dishes, laundry, recycling wrangling, catbox maintenance, zombie training, and pancakes. And pay bills. At some point I need to do my taxes. Probably not today, but I expect a refund so I should get to it soon. And flea treat the animals. And feed the birds. OK, this is not a well-organized to do list.

Oh, that's cool. I feel like I wasn't quite paying enough attention, so I will give it another shot and see how it goes.

We have a sushi-making class scheduled for 6 pm at Findlay Market. I suspect it will be cancelled. Damn you, winter!

Stopped at TJs on the way(? it's less out of the way than Columbia TJs, but I passed my house) home and it was a complete and utter batshit crazy madhouse. I've been there at 10:30 on a sunday before, it's usually not bad. This was...I don't even know.

Depending on the radio station, we're getting anywhere from 2-14". I can't even. We passed a convoy of cherry-pickers-woodchopper trucks on the beltway, and that's never a good sign: they're staging for An Event. Uhg.

I guess I'll drop by work this evening and grab the laptop. UHG NO MORE SNOW.

Maria's much more packed than she thinks she is. But it won't feel that way.

We have one more cookie booth today in about an hour. I hope the rain stays away long enough for us to survive it. We have 70 more boxes to get rid of and then I'm mostly done, except for the money nagging.

OK! I have cleaned the bathroom and hung some pictures, and rearranged some stuff to get my (grandmother's) china out of my mother's hutch (currently in my spare bedroom) and into my china cabinet. People are funny: My mother doesn't like the china because "it's pink," and my grandmother always used pink tablecloths with it, but actually look at the pattern: [link] Not that pink!

I did not know that.

That is not very pink. Probably looks more pink on a pink tablecloth?

Kitchen clean up is progressing slowly, but progressing. I am discouraged because the next thing I wanted to cook, two ingredients are still frozen despite thawing in the fridge since yesterday. They are thawing in the sink now, maybe that will be faster.

I'm trying to catch up on my TiVo, but Grey's is too much angst and drama for me.
