It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

While y'all were typing about hot toddies, I was drinking one. Nom.

My bread must be done, right? So I can go to bed?

The status is NOT quo.

I'm in bed but tossing and turning. I can't seem to turn my brain off at night lately. It's the lack of exercise. But I've been given the okay to start a rehab running program for the next week to get myself back on the road, and that is a very good thing.

Work closed. My employer still doesn't have an admin policy. After 30 years. Resentment not even thinly veiled and inclination to actually work is nil. Will attend mtgs as necessary, but frankly, I'm this close to telling anyone who crosses me to FOAD. Auspicious start.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Whiskey seemed simpler so I went with that.

A solid choice.

Ewww to creepy people being creepy.

Yay to Pix's new running program!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That seems about right.

My decision-making has really gone to hell this winter. I decided I could no longer wear snowboots (I'm wearing sort of hearty regular boots), but also decided to walk the less-cleared route from the bus stop. Why did I do that? It was very slow and treacherous.

Hey. New board.

Snow day number 4 in the last two weeks. At least this one is real snow and not just a thick layer of ice, but it is playing hell with the fun class engineering project I had planned for this week and next.

Punishingly Intricate

We're closed and we were given a leave charge code to charge up to 8 hours to today. That's kind of unprecedented.

Of course, it doesn't actually mean that I can take the day off. If I don't work today it's just pushing off a crisis for later. I am working on a team on a special urgent project right now and I think I'm going to have to be the one to tell the others we probably really should do our planned work today (which will mean being on a call together for hours). Sorry, guys!

Everyone's favorite Boston weather blogger explains that we've beaten the amount of snow fall for the winter, but not for the season (or something; it's all very technical). Basically, we've had the most snow in Dec-Feb, but not yet July-June. [link]

I'm sorry for you guys stuck in the house and especially if you're still working on a day off!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Morning, all.

Sorry I've been grey -- The February Black Dog took its annual stroll through my psyche, right on schedule, and while the Black Dg was smaller than usual, with the crazy reno and the 19,800 people scheduled for showing, when I wasn't too busy doing 8000 tasks, or falling down stairs (twice), or falling on the floor (help, I've fallen and I can't get up!) last week because the crazy post-reno cleaning and moving stuff totally made my back go into lockdown, I pulled myself into my snail shell of depression and am just now coming out.

February is normally the WORST month for me, but hey, at least it lasted 3 weeks instead of 2 months! PROGRESS!

I lurked, so I'd like to wish belated birthdays to all whom I missed, and much -ma and sympathy to those who need it.

On the upside, my house reno is done, and the house went back on the market Saturday!

SO I just wanted to say howdy. HOWDY!! Missed you all!
