and I don’t (unfortunately) mean all that lovey-dovey, kissy-wissy, smoochy-woochy stuff. I mean there’s one nasty-ass weather system pissing down on us here in The Big City. Freezing rain, ice pellets, sleet, hail, frogs, toads, blood… ooops, sorry! that’s the Passover Story, isn’t it? (And Passover isn’t for another week and a half or so…)
I managed to muck my way in to work this morning, after scraping off some of the sidewalk along the street in front of Xoozland. The section under the tree where the freezing rain hadn’t got to wasn’t too horrible to clear off, but the rest of it was piggish. And I am completely out of no-salt ice melter, too; I only had a handful or two left. One disadvantage of living not too far from the office, I guess. It’s a 20-minute single bus ride, or a 25-minute two-connection streetcar/bus/subway ride, or a 25-minute bike ride (but not in THIS weather!), or a leisurely 2-hour walk if I have company.
On the other hand, there’s not a lot going on at the office, since half or more of the people didn’t make it in. It’s quiet. If I felt like it, I might actually get something accomplished today. But to tell you the truth, I don’t really feel like it.
I think I need a “Portable LiveJournal Entry-Making Device.” There’s been a couple of times this week that I thought of things to write, but by the time I got to a computer, I had forgotten pretty much all of it. Brain cramp. I suppose I *could* write it down on a piece of paper or in an old-fashioned hard-copy journal book, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of THIS journal, no?
Don’t you think? or don’t you?
