Ginger, I'm sorry you are still fighting that ick.
Laga, I'm just really thankful you and yours are safe. It's utter crap to be so parochial about that kind of thing, though. (Meaning me and my reactions)
I am also not at the beach, but at least I'm not blizzarded, which I think Daniel and Andi may be.
I'm not sure what things are like up in the Cities, where Daniel is working, but here in Faribault, we have no current precipitation. Yesterday we had a fair amount of wintery-mix, but nothing killer. On Thursday, I had to work in a neighboring town that was getting clobbered. Driving home, there was such hideous visibility that pulling over to wait out the storm was impossible. All I could see was a tiny bit of white line at the edge of the road, and I feared to pull over lest someone else think that was where the road was. The headlights of oncoming traffic actually helped because of the way my own headlights were picking up the huge snowflakes zooming in at me. And then half way between the two towns, it just cleared up. Daniel had to drive most of his way through that mess. I was not happy until he got home.
Argh. I just opened the box for my new bookcase, thinking I'd get everything all set up today, and it's broken. I called and they're sending me a replacement one, but now I've got to figure out how to get the broken one to someplace where I can ship it back.
Hil, how was it shipped to you? You may be able to get them to come back and get it.
Oh, what a pain, Hil! I'm sorry.
I love Erin's dream!! I had bizarre but oddly nice dreams last night too. About spending the weekend with this boy I liked in college, and trying to go to this big show with Smonster and Amyth...
It's UPS, and it looks like I can schedule a pickup from their website. Neat! Target is sending me a shipping label so I won't have to pay for the return shipping.

We got three inches of wet, heavy snow. More chance of snow tonight. WFT
It's almost 60F already and sunny. I'm sitting on a reclining deck chair on our back porch and watching Annabel blow bubbles in the backyard. For the moment, life is pretty good.
x-posted with Cashmere--if it makes you feel any better, this isn't supposed to last long.
Hmm, I'm trying to write an annotated bibliography but Taz the cat is all NO TYPING ONLY PETTING. Chilling with him is much more fun than doing schoolwork.
The weather is unexpectedly sunny today- I thought it was going to be a rainy one.
I just sorted through my stash of contact lenses. Turned out that I only had two boxes that were old prescriptions. I got the rest all organized and stacked up. Slowly making progress in this whole organization thing.
Next step is the pile of junk mail by my door. It scares me a bit.
