Also thinking about what to write this week.

Have a book club Christmas do tonight so busy reading the short book we have for it though expect discussion will be quite light.

Yay, I actually wrote the entry, rather than use up my bye..

I'm a glutton for punishment.

Oh I got up about this time yesterday, well, a little earlier than this.

Insomnia is nothing new to me.

Gah! Sorry to hear it.

We have a winter weather advisory - because any time we have ANY ice of ANY amount it's a bad thing. We're not built for it, and people are stupid.

Unfortunately I really need to get some things done at work, even though I'm still sick. My fever is gone though.

I think they dance when you're not looking at them.

Want to talk about coincidence?

About five minutes ago, a "Winter Weather Advisory" popped up on my weather widget. It says to expect about an inch of snow, followed by sleet and freezing rain.

So...thanks!

That, I cannot do. But I'm good at twisting and turning things to fill boxes without shake-space. I think when I shipped my stuff back to Sweden from the US after living there for a year (I'm a packrat and accumulated SO MUCH STUFF), I used a grand total of maybe 20-30 packing peanuts.

Not looking forward to resolving the logistics of possibly moving the boy here in about a year, though. Transatlantic moves seem rather intimidating.

I'm not sure where you are, but it sounds a lot like where I am: Delaware. We have a winter weather advisory for an inch of snow today. Granted the "Followed by sleet and freezing rain" is pretty nasty, but when I lived in Buffalo they would have laughed and this and told you about the time their car got stuck under 7 feet of snow in the course of one night*!

*True story. Happened to me my first real Winter in Buffalo.

Hurray for no more fever.
Boo for still sick.

Double-boo for ice.

You're welcome!!

Good morning! Well, I suppose I have to actually go to work today after being out since last Wednesday afternoon. They had to fix the office furnace. Drat!

But I am here in town at the local office so no long commute for me today.

It's snowing lightly. It's supposed to get worse tonight. Is it wrong of me to wish for a snow day tomorrow?

I am glad I got my entry in early. I immediately knew what I wanted to write about this time, which was a change.


I'll be around most of the day so you're all stuck with me! See ya in a bit!

It isn't "really cold" in Maine until the ocean freezes solid enough to drive on it either.

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Surprisingly I'm a great packer. imafarmgirl browbeats me into packing her boxes for her to mail. Aren't I a good friend?

[jfargo.livejournal.com]

Here in Delaware, at the slightest hint of snow, the smallest dusting, the stores become crammed full of people. Those people aren't there for canned goods, or flashlight batteries, or things that might actually come in useful if something were really happening.

Those people are buying bread and milk.

Seriously.

Bread and milk. WTF, Delaware?

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

That happens here in MAssachusetts as well. You'd think that these people's cupboards and fridges were completely void of anything if they hear of a flake of snow falling. It's such a strange behavior.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I keep milk in all three forms of "storage" around because I only cook with it. I don't drink it.

dried, canned, and Permalat.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Louisiana. There is no snow. I repeat. There is no snow. There is drizzling rain, and there is a 30 degree temperature and the wind chill is in the ::gasp:: twenties, and this may cause ice on bridges (which I have to cross) and overpasses.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it's worse where you are. I just wish I could be one of those people who would just call in one more day.

Why can't I be one of those people?

[jfargo.livejournal.com]

What's Permalat? I know the other two.

[jfargo.livejournal.com]

I can understand Louisiana a bit better, since they truly aren't prepared for icing due to their location, but Delaware? It's like they think snow never happens. We live in the NE US, and they don't even have plows, just trucks to drop a salt slurry?

Bah!

But yeah. Good luck with the other drivers in LA.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I could call in for you?

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

heh. thanks

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Think milk-in-a-box.

It can be used just like fresh milk, but it is treated and packed in special boxes for longer-term storage.

It doesn't taste tinny like evaporated or condensed milk.

Got lots of things to do between now and Friday, so I'm glad I got my entry off quickly....
