Maria, good to see your pixels somewhere other than FB and GW parking lot! I hope you got lots of sleep.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Maria, so glad you made it okay.
And a good reminder to all of us in winter climes about the importance of having enough gas, a phone charger, etc. in the car when you hit the road.

Makes me grateful I only commute four miles. Push comes to shove, I can walk home from my car if I had to abandon it and the buses couldn't get through, either.

Thanks, Typo. I'm still pretty sick, but at least I'm not generating gallons of snot anymore.
Ack, Zenkitty. I hate the clothes thing.
I have to tell them every little thing,
So they're my sister and most of the designers I've worked with? I could never do what you're doing, smonster, and every kind of construction I've ever been near had days like that.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
{{Maria}} Glad you got home safely.
{{Zenkitty}} I understand the stress about wardrobe. And family.
{{smonster}} The good part is today is over and you can have an adult beverage (or two) and start fresh tomorrow.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Rest? Eh, but at least I didn't have to leave the house. I woke up on my own at 11, and then there was shoveling, and a few urgent phone calls and emails that couldn't wait. I still have my indoor pants on, so I'ma count that as a win.
Sail, I know, it's kind of novel, isn't it? Facebook did really keep me sane, as well as the folks on the radio.

YES. Always make sure you have a full tank especially when inclement weather threatens. I'd also recommend a bottle of water and granola bars (or similar). Hunger was the biggest factor as the night wore on. Oh, and don't be a dope and leave the snow brush sitting in the foyer at home, though a golf umbrella does a good job in a pinch. Tested that myself last evening.
Ginger, I hope you continue to feel better.
Thanks, ChiKat!

Happy birthday Laga!
Smonster, ugh. What a suck day. On the flip side, angry girl realized she wanted to try to do something after the fact - even if she mistakenly expressed it in a way that tried to make it your fault. That's something like the beginning of ownership, kind of, which is better than leaning on shovels. I remember when they werent interested in doing anything. You have made a difference, even if it doesn't feel like it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Sox is wise.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thanks, y'all. It was definitely a "here go hell come" kind of day. I've had dinner, and vented to B for a while, and it's just about time for that adult beverage. And then I'll reflect on the day and prepare for tomorrow. Really, every time I focus on productivity, everything goes to shit. I'm just frustrated, I never get to catch up because I'm constantly dealing with drama.
I'm going to have to find some zen if I want to last in this field. I actually did pretty well today staying calm. Really, it's remarkable that I only lost my shit once.
