Sitting Out the Snow

Oh my, there's a great deal of snow out there. It's been snowing since early yesterday morning and is supposed to continue until tomorrow morning, I think. It's not snowing heavily now, but it's still coming down.

Yesterday my school district cleverly called an early dismissal, but I woke up in so much pain that I decided I could only handle snow or pain, but not both, and I couldn't do anything about the snow. So I stayed home, lying down most of the day. It eased up a lot by the afternoon. I woke up this morning just feeling normally achy, but we had an actual snow day, so I was home again. I haven't been out of the house since Wednesday.

I was supposed to go to a workshop tomorrow at Ellis Island, but it's been canceled due to the weather, not surprisingly. Maybe if we can finally get out, we can get some errands done. And I've become somewhat adept at making iced latte here at home.

The odd news of the storm is that, mittendrinnen, in the middle of everything, my sister had to go have her appendix out last night! Very weird. I think she was gone for a total of 24 hours; she came home this morning and feels fine. I'm guessing they used the laparascope on her, since I had traditional surgery three years ago and was in the hospital for a few days.

K is making dinner tonight, so I'm just thinking about what to watch on TV. For some reason, on Wednesday, closed captioning disappeared off of about 40 channels on my cable box, including some that I watch a lot (like TNT), so my usual stuff isn't available. One of tomorrow's errands, if I can do it, is to go get my cable box replaced. Lucky for us there's a storefront service center right here in town.

Okay, I'm going to go bakc and c orrect my typos -- you wouldn't bnelieve what this looks like before I do that -- and post, and lay by aching back down flat somewher.e
