Did the laundry, but haven't made my bed yet. I tried to go to the supermarket, but it was a total clusterfuck, obviously, so went to the liquor store instead. Seems like a fair tradeoff! Also, I scraped up a ton of ice off the front walk, but it will probably come back tomorrow, along with the million new feet of snow. Good times.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't imagine that much snow, Jesse, dang.
I got up early, sat around for a couple hours, and then managed to drag myself to Goodwill to donate some crap, and then to the park (because it's a nice day out!) to run. And then the grocery store. But the dude who was supposed to pick up my old dining room table and chairs just bailed, so now I think I need to load those up and make another trip to Goodwill. But perhaps I will do some more closet-sorting first. And laundry. And stuff.
Also trying to decide if I want to try to do some DIY stuff at home (changing out a wall sconce and a hanging light to different ones; changing the deadbolt to a keypad lock), which are supposedly simple, but I suspect I will screw up. But a professional could do them in about 10 minutes each, which seems silly to pay for. Ugh.

I'm pretty proud of myself that I thought to start using the garden shovel on the ice -- it's way better than the combination of ice breaker and plastic shovel I was doing before. And I got the idea from a professional! Last winter, one of the guys who had done all the work on my apartment came by to check on us and he got the ice off the front steps in approximately .1 seconds, thanks to a metal shovel. That guy is the nicest!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's almost 70 degrees here. It was freezing a couple days ago, and in a couple days will be freezing again. Whatever, Nature.

Yeah, it's 50 degrees in Ohio today. I think I convinced my mother, who is in Boston, 65, and has a head cold, that she should ask her stepdaughter's husband, WHO OWNS A LANDSCAPING COMPANY WHOSE MAIN BUSINESS IN WINTER IS SNOW REMOVAL to do her shoveling today. Did I mention they live next door? My mother is very tough and reluctant to ask for help, sometimes to her own detriment.

73 here which is ridiculous. Will be the same for the next 3 days. Of course Mac and I are both inside.

Our wings are not tired.
I feel like we haven't heard from omnis in a while.
I was thinking that same thing a while ago too. If he doesn't appear soon I'll send him a note via FB.

70-ish here. I am wearing shorts. Less than a week ago, I nearly spun out on pack ice.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I feel like we haven't heard from omnis in a while.
He checked in at the Gaming thread on 27 January. I think he's lurking for the moment.
