Our wings are not tired.

That is worrisome, Amy. I hope they get things stabilized.

We have zero chance for rain for the next week or so. This means I really have to get the sprinklers working. Bother.

Yeah, 99.1% sounds plenty good enough to me. Work has been burdensome today. But I did get my workout over at 7:30 this morning so there is a certain delight knowing I don't have to do that later.

Right? I totally want a fire-juggling governor!

I'd just like to see mine set on fire.

Because books.

I guess I meant more like it wasn't super high, Steph? Either way, he just an internal echocardiogram, and it seems fine, too. And he sounds much better -- he's only looking for the occasional word here or there. So weird.

My concern is just that if it was a TIA, the effects from it lasted a lot longer (and were more severe) than usual. And TIAs are generally warning signs of bigger, badder strokes to come.

Also, it's begun to snow. Can I go back to bed now?

Going back to bed sounds like an excellent plan.

I am glad I have no snow coming.

And 99% competent sounds like a lot more than most folks.

If it snows, I can deal with it. What makes it untenable is when K's school is cancelled, and my DH and I still have to work. Since we are in a wee apartment across town while our house is being renovated, she can't just walk over to a friend's house so we generally have to play all the games to keep her occupied.

Also, I would like a decent weather forecast for Saturday, since we will be out at the March for our Lives. We will go even if the weather is not good, but I would prefer it be good.

Amy, I hope S is okay. No one needs that kind of worry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This. We're getting sleet now, but predictions have gone from 3-5", maybe, to 5-10".

Our predictions have gone from 1-3 to 12-16 of "heavy wet snow"

Travel conditions will be "difficult to impossible"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aphasia is one of those things I'm more afraid of than is probably warranted. I hope they get it figured out.

Punishingly Intricate

I have a 3 pm doctor's appointment and they're still trying to figure out if they're closing early or not. It's been sleeting all morning and I'm not thrilled at going outside and diving.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Apparently it's two Nor'easters combined into one superstorm? Whatever it is, I am not pleased.

All Winter in A Storm?

My current competency score is 99.1%

That seems...weirdly precise? I mean, I'm on a "just because we put numbers on it doesn't mean it's objective" kick, but, damn.
