The final accumulation in my front yard looks to be around 7-8 inches. A crust formed on the surface, which makes for excellent birdseed dispersal and a lot of extra engagement for my cats.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

We got about 5" with a crust of sleet/ice. So far, I have shoveled the walk completely. The sidewalk is next and will need to be done in segments. I don't actually care about the driveway today -- I gave it one pass yesterday, so I hope it'll be doable tomorrow, but I have my shoveling limits. And DH will share the load.

Well, my cousin in Minneapolis has convinced his Chinese mom to keep her U.S. passport on her.
This is just dizzying.

I am now on my second round of antibiotics for the combination bronchitis and sinus infection. I would like to be done with all of this, especially since I've reached that point in recovery where I think I can be productive and then fall over on the couch after doing two things.
While I'm happy for the local football fans that the Seahawks are going to the Superbowl, I hate the fireworks. And apparently they caused two housefires in our area, which is horrible.
I've had to switch my work computer from Apple to a Windows machine, and all of my peripherals are fighting me.

I hope that helps protect her, Trudy

It's been 7+ years since I had to touch Windows and I didn't think it could get worse. I guess Windows 11 looked at all previous versions and said "hold my beer".

Jilli, for the coughing, have you tried Tessalon Pearls? They aren't opioids like codeine, but they work like spooky magic to stop coughing.

I've been taking the Tessalon Pearls every night, but am trying to make sure I have "productive coughing" as per the clinic doctor.
