Now the recurring dilemma: I have no coffee in the house, but getting some would require getting dressed. And getting anywhere is a pain (...literally). But do I go without coffee?!
That is a dilemma! Maybe start with hot cocoa.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Meara, there are services that will deliver coffee. . .
Also, Shir, snow must be really unusual there! I'm glad you are home, though.
There is a brutal cold going around my office, which I hope I don't get.
Every few years there's snow for about 2-3 days. For tonight we might get an inch of snow on the ground. An emergency that requires closing work places and schools, apparently.
International people of mystery! So exciting.
Sorry about the preemptive layoff, Gud. What a bizarre situation.
I def did not notice an earthquake this morning, but I probably wouldn't have, looking at the maps.
Sumi really? I mean, for a while office sure, but for just me that seems inefficient.
Will consider caffeine for lunch.
I'm on day 2 of baby shark earworm and I might murder someone.
ION, after a test run yesterday I can confirm that I would adapt well to a life of free time consisting mostly of movie watching and running errands, so if I could get a grant for that or a funding stream or a patron, that would be keen.
Gud, I'm sorry. That's fucked up and infuriating.
My daughter was just in a car accident, but it sounds like she's fine. Car is a goner though. From what I've heard it wasn't her fault. She called me, but I was in the middle of a phone interview so I didn't pick up. So once again I let down the family. Oh well, the important thing is that she is okay.
You're not letting the family down entirely if you're in the middle of trying to get a new job to support them all.
Why couldn't she call her mother if she couldn't reach you? That's just one of the reasons that having two parents is a good idea.
Roommate has been mooning around, reading paper books instead of watching endless episodes of Law & Order/CSI. She was supposed to speak to a bank-type lady on Monday, but hasn't said word one about what happened, not even if she actually spoke to said lady. She did leave the house for a while yesterday.
I don't know if I'd make the situation more fraught if I asked what happened. Her original date to give me the late rent was last Monday. I got some money out of my IRA so I could make the mortgage payment (Xmas driving is very sparse) so I'm a bit miffed.
