Fred Pete, kudos to you and Hubs for the volunteer work you do with the shelter. I volunteered at a shelter for a few weeks one summer, and it was hard to see so many wonderful animals abandoned and needing homes.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Kathy, I'm so glad your recovery is going so well!
Fred Pete, Zen speaks for me. That sounds like an interesting period of time for you and Hubs. I hope you both get some actual time to relax and recharge. You probably need it after all that.
Returned travelers, I'm happy you're safely home. Wanderers in the snow, stay warm and dry! I have a sudden urge to build a fire and gather everybody in the circle of warmth. This is a anowfall--widespread, but there are pros working at coping--not a post-apocalytic movie. Still, everybody stay safe, and watch out for the wargs!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ma-for your MIL, Burrell. I hope they get it figured out and cured quickly.

Ann, that's a ferret.

My neighborhood, at the moment, is a snowy wonderland for kids and a massive clusterfuck for everyone else. None of the three subways nearby are running and none of the side streets have been plowed. The two main commercial streets nearby have been plowed, but only once, and not very well - at the north end of our block a normally two-lane street has been reduced to a one-lane parking lot. (I saw a row of five cars which had all managed to dig themselves out and pull into the middle of the street, but then couldn't get any further and so just sat there blocking the road.)
Theoretically my grocery delivery has been rescheduled for tomorrow, but I'm not optimistic that they'll be able to get the truck down the block!
For the first time this week I'm hoping I don't go into labor any time soon, because I think I'd have to walk to the hospital. (It's a shame my neighbor the doula is out of town...would be nice to have someone who's assisted a birth before, just in case!)
Not sure where this was taken, but here's a cool timelapse of the snow coming in last night:

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
thanks

Good gravy Jessica, that's a helluva lot of snow!

Breathing~ma for Burrell's MIL. That's so worrying--I hope she's doing better soon!

Because books.
Oh, Burrell, all kinds of ~ma for your MiL. That's scary.

Whenever I can talk myself off the couch I have pics to upload from our snow walk this morning - some of the drifts were over Dylan's head.
Burrell, I hope your MiL's breathing improves.
