My tiny car isn't built for this

[selenay]

Well, I came to work today.

It was a terrifying drive. We've still got a lot of ice pack on the roads from the storm early last week. My little car does not do well on that kind of terrain.

Plan today is to buy cat food and meds on the way home and then review my level of anxiety tomorrow morning. We're supposed to get a bit of snow down overnight, so there's a good chance that I'll conclude my anxiety needs a day off and work from home tomorrow. As long as I get the cat food and meds.

The technique to surviving this weather seems to be grabbing all the supplies on the days it's possible to get out and then just hunkering down and waiting it out until the next semi-not-terrible day.

Hard to believe that two weeks ago we had clear roads and no problems :-(

In less depressing news, tonight I have fic to post. And a big battle scene to choreograph in another fic, after spending last week writing everything except the big battle scene. There are several thousand words of filler that I'll probably chop out during revisions, all written as a procrastination method to avoiding writing the battle. I am so great at this :-D

I've seen some photos (from Massachusetts, but the same weather system) of how high the snow is piled up by now. I wish you could send some of it down our way and get some more breathing room between storms to clear it all away.

This weekend we had snow followed by rain and flooding followed by flash freezing all in one day. Now it's not so much a matter of finding places to put the snow, but figuring out a way to break up cement-like snow/ice in order to move it. Which is so much fun, obviously. And another storm due on Thursday...
