neeuqdrazil and I do have power. If it gets to be evening and people on my flist *don't* have power (and more importantly, heat), we can open Beta Colony as shelter from the cold.

We do not want our friends in cold storage!

ETA: Check it out; A picture of the affected area last night. I'm guessing the big black square in the upper right is Mt. Pleasant Cemetary.

*looks outside*
I think I picked the wrong night to work late.
*ponders stopping for dinner somewhere near work before driving home*
This is not going to be a fun commute.

PS; actually, the drive wasn't that bad. I was glad that I took a minute in the mostly empty parking lot to remind myself what driving iin snow is like though. Much brake-pumping.

After taking myself out to dinner, I am finally home safe. I had to take a somewhat circuitous route from the 401, since I was following the plows, and there were 4 foot tall snowbanks blocking the on ramp to the Allen. Thankfully, someone had bulled through the similar snow bank at Avenue, so I made it off the highway, where I followed a van that did not have its rear window defrost on, and was not using its rear window wiper. It made up for that deficiency by driving 20 kph straddling two lanes.

I am glad to be home. Now to see if the cold meds are strong enough to keep the cough of D00m at bay long enough to sleep.

Gooooood workout tonight.

I have coco camino spicy hot chocolate. I find I acutally like it more than the dagobah xocolatl; the former has more chili/cinnamon/ginger, while the latter has better chocolate.

I had hoped that the weather and roads would have improved by now. Now so luck. I'm farting around at work reading Lj and Girl Genius while I finish my hot chocolate. I think next I will go out, clean off my car and take a short drive to find somewhere to eat while I still can.

My lungs aren't very happy with me; thankfully I appear to have a doctor's appointment Thursday morning, so I can talk to the doc about the cough that's now in it's 4th or 5th week, and worsening - plus whatever the infection is seems to have spread to my eye.

Now, to go face the frost giants.

Home safe now. I had a 4 hour commute home.

One of my co-workers is leaving this week, so we went out to a farewell lunch for her that ended up taking three hours. The drive back to the office was pretty rough, so after about 15 minutes, the call was made, and we all left.

I was on the road from 2:40 to 6:40, roughly. I ran out of energy at the first hour, but fortuitously, there was half a bottle of barq's in the car from the weekend, which woke me up enough to make it the rest of the way. On the bright side, I'm now much better at driving in snow.

Now I am very, very tired, and am going to go open a bottle of wine.

Current Mood: exhausted
