Okay. The 'net is back, again. For now.

The guy came today, instead of tomorrow, which is good, but = no sleep. Annnnnnd more snow, tonight. Into tomorrow. Into freezing rain/ice on Wednesday. 'Cos we just don't have enough.

This is a bit ridiculous. The mountains of snow, outside, are taller than me. Our walkway is like walking down a luge chute. Just hope the roof keeps holding - as there's at least three feet piled up on it, with parts of fallen trees, sticking out, here and there. I somehow sprained my left wrist - either digging someone/something out, or working so long, by myself. It's a bit better, tonight. It has no choice.

Won't even go into how many times I've fallen, lol - or how many times my car got stuck. Finally had to abandon it on Friday, down the hill, and just walk/crawl home. And that is *not* a Typical Indiwise Exaggeration.

I refuse to pack extra uniforms, etc, for the newest oncoming follies, after last week's mess..Well, maybe just a few things. Phone and Poor Little iPod ™ are charging, just in case.

I am glad that the internet is back, for practical purposes, at least, but it wasn't that bad, without it - thank God for good books and, Cosmos to watch.

I'd gladly take some of that snow if you could ship it down here! Be careful and stay safe hon, I'll be thinking of you.

Thanks, grrl - wish I could. We only got about four inches, last night, and I am so glad. Dry, so far, here - the ice-crap is not due to start until the morning - so, hopefully, I'll be home, by then!

Stay safe and warm! Hopefully you catch a break down there soon. Ice is the worst kind of winter weather. Snow can be a drag, but ice is evil. They say it's supposed to get above freezing here near the end of the week (for the first time in I can't remember how long), maybe even crack the 40 degree mark, so hopefully you'll get a thaw, too. Of course, that just means everything will melt at once... and it'll flood. But if you're near the top of a hill, I guess that has some benefits?

I agree re: ice. Horrible. I'm not sure of your location, but I hope you get some warmth, soon, too. It was supposed to be fifty-eight, tomorrow! I don't think they really know..

Detroit metro (by which I mean, not freakin New Haven, but a couple blocks from the D's border so not within the city), fun times with reduced snow plowing! Anyway, we're supposed to warm up a little bit, too. If it melts that sheet of ice that's everywhere, I'll be happy.

I can't even imagine living through that. *thinking of you*

I'm sure this is the last thing you want to do but try to put some ice on that sprain. And do you have an of those cramp-on thingies for your shoes/boots to help you stay upright? Falling=bad!

*wishing for warmth & sunshine for you*

P.S.

Finished, First Man - Neil's biography. Dry as a bone, but an interesting slog. Still taking, Carrying the Fire, by Mike Collins (my laundramat book) in small bites - so, so interesting and well-written that I hate for it to end, and I'm almost there, sadly.

Also started, Billions and Billions by Carl Sagan - it's FANTASTIC - on ebook. His, The Demon-Haunted World, is next.

Thinking of this, to get next: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/141499.Failure_is_not_an_Option - I love this man, and can only IMAGINE the stories he's got to tell.

This, because he was such a badass and fantastic character: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/859084.Rocketman

Or this, because it's supposed to be amazing and scandalous: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/311504.Riding_Rockets

They all sound good! I tried to find the Michael Collins biography at our library but no luck. Maybe I'll put in a request for it. My sister works for a major university as a librarian and even though she now works in the law library she can still check out books for me from their whole system (of ten million books. It's just getting together with her that's the hard part! lol

You know, it changed my POV, somewhat, I think. LiEk, no matter what I do or think - there are some things I can't change. But there ARE some things that I can grab hold of and make happen. Wrist is much better, thanks - and I found, last night, what originally did it...certain resident who can't move or roll, in bed...yeah. Can't be helped, that, but my weekend off came JUST as I really needed it.

I just looked up, 'crampons' - great idea. Thank you.

*rain, for you - gentle and lots*
