Whoa, area Ys closed at 8:30 tonight (not 10.) Here's hoping they open eventually tomorrow.
Still snowing.
Really want to leave a note for useless neighbor that reads "maybe you could clean your walks with the same dedication that you wash your car and ice up alley in process." But I won't. He's an ass, but his roommate is sweet and it won't do any good. I have no idea why she lives there, and she's stated her rent doesn't include upkeep and she won't be used, so I get that. Maybe the rent is that good and she's got blackmail material (actually, that's not a far stretch at all.)
Ooo, this place is making me want to travel to Italy just to eat there. (Though I'm sure I could find one or two other things to see while in the country...)

Whoa, Monday night tv did not disappoint... until the weather report just now. It's gonna be stupid cold the next few days and the heat in my office still doesn't work.
My latest super fast OMG so good creation is TJ's Gorgonzola gnocchi cooked with a bag of their frozen kale.
That sounds utterly amazing. And now I have to finish my nightly drink and bundle Matilda off to bed, because tomorrow is another ridiculously early morning (though possibly the last for a while; my bike has been unearthed from the storage space and tuned up, and the boss's holiday Amazon gift card has been transformed into a bike helmet which should arrive by midweek).
The last time I rode my bike regularly, I was in middle school out in the dead quiet suburbs and I used to read a book while riding. Without a helmet. Because I was twelve and phenomenally stupid. Will NOT be pulling that shit on the streets of San Francisco.
Things closed until 10: Y and my work. Closed for the day: everything else. just about.
Given the unclear policy fromCSC, I'm only happy about the Y opening. And I can't stop sneezing. Any work I do will be half assed. I'll call into telecons. I'll do my ethics training for the year (irony don't escape me.)
Say, isn't today pancake day? I'm socked in with ice and sleet covering snow, but I have power, so I'll be celebrating with blueberry pancakes.
Say, isn't today pancake day?
Also paczki day! It's hard for me to convince myself to leave my nice warm house and go out in 6 degrees just to get tasty pastries I shouldn't really eat. (Anyone who makes a gluten-free paczki automatically gets a medal, man.)
You guys! They purr! [link]
And cats are on my lap doing a reenactment.
Cleared car, 4 houses sidewalks and one extra open parking space. And already hurting. It's not even heavy snow! After removing the top few inches (basically using shovel as a plow), push room cleared the rest. But my shoulders hate hate hate that kind of motion. Which I know, from vacuuming and mopping, but it is just stupid. Also, I got kinda sweaty.
Also also, I can't really work because I can't reach the laptop because cats. But am also hungry and can't reach food either. Dilemma. But they will get disturbed at 9:30 for a meeting.
It's gonna be stupid cold the next few days
UGH, single to negative digits are what I have to look forward to?! I'd change my mind about coming back from Mardi Gras, but I'm already on a plane.
