Our snow is finished here. Thank heavens. Because while I love snow, I also love living, and I'm not sure if Octoprof would have put up with more snow than we got.

Yes, but you seem to have pushed it over our way, and I do not share your fiendish affection for this particular weather form. It was vaguely cute in December, but I'm done now. Please not that I have avoided any unseemly forms of punctuation here. |

We may get another inch or two of snow today. Since this is the snow belt in February, this is not exciting (except possibly to Biopup).

-25C here this morning. Since it has now risen to about -10C, though, I consider the excitement of the former to be mitigated by the latter.

Recent housekeeping accomplishments include not only emptying the dishwasher but performing a slight rearrangement of a cupboard such that it now can accommodate a set of condiment dishes. I also scrubbed the range top and cleaned the under-burner pans. My next plans include laundry.

I have less than an hour and a half remaining in my office hours today. There is also quite a bit of photocopying to do.

Doing yet another travel expense report.
Just finished mine. Now waiting for SO to call me back so I can report that the car we were going to buy turned to be a lemon. Mega-props to my mechanic for figuring that out. |

Just finished mine. Now waiting for SO to call me back so I can report that the car we were going to buy turned to be a lemon. Mega-props to my mechanic for figuring that out. I glanced at that and read "Mega-pops", like pop-rocks candy. If that's the case, I would love to be your mechanic. (unrelated) Last night I dreamed that I make chocolate chip cookies and used my new scoop for cookie dough. As I was scooping cookie dough in my dream, I thought that I should post about that to this thread. So, even in my dreams, I am thinking of you all and Exciting Things You Need to Know. |
