snow day, slow day, stuff it in your ho' day.

yay snow day! the bosswitch finally came to her senses and had the office nazi call us all last night and cancel work. i've never ever ever seen her do that. and since it's right after my vacation, it's nice to get a four day work week to settle back in.

this couldn't have been planned better. i'm not going anywhere this weekend (other than a party tomorrow night), i'll be around when they plow so i can move my car for the snow emergency, and it's a three-day weekend that i need. what better way to relax, get over a cold, and help link and midna save hyrule but to get snowed in?

yesterday, i did spend a half-an-hour shoveling a place on the odd-numbered side of the road for my car. that kind of sucked...and *lightbulb* explains why my back is a little cranky this morning. but oh my god. i'm just too happy about all of this.

the snow is beautiful and just knowing that even the mall of america is closed makes the city seem a little quieter. almost like it's come down with a cold as well and just needs to spend the day in city-bed. we all get to slow the hell down and breathe and appreciate it for one day.

it's days like this that make me waver on my enthusiasm for L.A....sometimes, just SOMEtimes....winter is really fkn awesome.

impending pain

1) 15 minutes shoveling out the car. still, there is ice beneath and no chance of moving.

2)enter girl who is parked behind me. enter kind girl walking down the street. they push. i am free. all rejoyce. i park on the plowed side.

3) the three of us dig out the car of the girl formerly parked behind me. her car is heavier. there is no pushing her out.

4) enter the fed ex woman. she delivers a package, comes back, throws her clipboard in the snow and begins to help us push.

5)fed ex woman has a bucket of sand in the truck. this + more shoveling + the three of us pushing (repeat all) = another free car.

6) enter tony. he parks his car and we walk home. i begin to feel a tinge of pain in my knee. i know that tomorrow i will be sore. even now, typing is hard because my arms are tired. i have a headache. i am going to go eat and soak in the tub. so much for a blissful snowday.
