Travel weather this year is counterintuitively suckier than usual this year.
One round of errands done, second load of laundry in. Unpacked. As soon as the first load comes out of the dryer, I'll go foraging for food.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Travel weather this year is counterintuitively suckier than usual this year.
A friend who lives in Kansas City was in Pensacola last week and is still there because his flights home keep getting cancelled. He was going to drive over to Biloxi to visit a friend, but apparently there was a threat of tornadoes there, so he's just staying put in Pensacola (which isn't the worst thing in the world).

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
We're starting to get some nasty flooding here, and there have already been some major highway closures.

My phone blew up multiple times a day with flash flood warnings in B'ham. Not to mention the tornado sirens. Those NWS flood people are on it when it comes to text alerts! The tornado and thunderstorm people, nsm. Which is kinda fucked up. Tornado alerts hit my phone a good 5 minutes after the tornado sirens started deafening us, and well after the first funnel hit B'ham.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Scary! Everyone stay safe, wherever you are.

It looks like I'm not getting out until Wednesday. I didn't pack enough medication for this! It's not the end of the world if I miss a day of meds, luckily, but I want my own bed and to be able to read Yuletide.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It looks like I'm not getting out until Wednesday.
Yikes.
I could...email you Yuletide stuff? Or send you the ebook files for some stories?

Thanks, Dana. Internet is slow and I don't want to blow through all my mom's data, but maybe I will take a quick spin through the archive later and download a few stories to read offline.
It looks like they rebooked me for FIRST CLASS, ha ha, what? Maybe I won't try to get an earlier flight.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Bummer for being stuck, shrift, but yay for first class?
I just threw out a couple of cookies because I really didn't like the taste. I don't think I've ever met cookies I disliked like that before.
