getting well and fully sick of this

[anotheranon]

Today I tried to take care of all necessities before Snowpocalypse III: Snoverload landed: I managed to drop off rent check and hit the grocery (again!), on foot because the roads here are still hazardous - none of the plowing has gone down to the pavement so everything is coated in a few inches of ice and snow that are tightly packed but still slippery.

As I type, even MORE of the white stuff is falling down, with predicted 50+ mph winds forecast. Con: more snow. Pro: perhaps the wind will blow it into drifts and off of my car (?)

I stayed away from the computer yesterday to make a dent in the vest (view D) and make a final attempt at digging my car out of last week's snow. I can now open the driver's side door and the rear wheels are mostly freed - digging out the front half would necessitate dumping the surplus into my neighbors' yards, and I feared this a bit rude (what IS the etiquette for snow removal, anyway? It's not like we usually get tons of it here so I genuinely don't know).

Being indoors this much lights a desire to bake, and I got the ingredients for massive chewy chocolate chip cookies. And they are huge, and tasty, but dense as a black hole - I may never eat again.

I'll try and get some photos of the epic sewing binge results up tonight or tomorrow (I'm strongly suspecting work will be closed again).

Don't get me wrong - I like having days off as much as anyone else. What I'm tired of is digging, waiting, digging, waiting.

I wish we lived closer together!

I've gotten some spinning (plying) done today as well as more on my quilt. I had to run out and pick up more fabric. (I didn't quite get enough for the borders of the quilt and I needed backing fabric.)

The schools are closed through Fri. and I'm expecting to be at home tomorrow, as well.

I like having this quiet time but I'm also missing people, too.

I know, we could have stitch and bitch! And cookies!

I'm right there with you. I was sick last week, so I have not been in the office since last Thursday. Good news is, I'm feeling better. Bad news is, I'm bored as all hell.

We have about 50 cm of snow in the garden so it's not that bad. As it's Sweden all roads are fit for driving cars, and everyone got their "dub" winter tires on. When it comes to snow shovling etiquette...perhaps you can ask the neighbour? Or make a giant snow man Calvin-style?

Man, at this point I could make an army of snowmen!

Re: driving etc. - DC is emphatically not prepared to deal with this kind of winter - it is deeply unusual to get this much snow and the amount of snow is already on track to break local records.
