Superstorm 2011
I just want to flail about for a minute and then flop over, preferably onto my bed. It's a strange desire but it's been a strange fucking week so I'm fine with it.
Seriously, it's still cold and still snowing. We're at 6 inches*. In Dallas (the week before the Superbowl. I'm still laughing). It's very pretty if you're not out in it, but I had an attack of 'midwestern gumption' (my mom's phrasing) and ended up spending more than an hour out in it, so.
I got to work eventually. Only fell once.
* 6 inches is nothing until you realize that Dallas has no infrastructure to deal with this. The roads aren't plowed, there's no salt/sand/magical chemicals out on anything but the highways, water pipes aren't freeze-resistant, nobody has snow shovels, etc. We were actually trapped in our apartment the first day because the building's staircases are all external and the complex didn't/couldn't do anything to de-ice them.
In better news: I got my taxes all squared away (got a refund coming!), the bills are all paid, and today's Pay Day. I almost feel like an adult!
