It's snowing. It's been snowing since about 3am.
Well, anyway, last night after I went out for dinner, I parked my car in the garage. There was no way in hell that I was going to be scraping crap off of my car at 11pm, especially since Jer had BOTH snow brushes in his car.
So I drive home. Woooheee. The roads were mostly just wet. We're in the area that keeps shifting from snow to rain. No biggie, I don't mind driving in it, what I do mind are the idjits out there who shouldn't be.
There was something odd going on next door when I got home. There were two cop cars waiting out front. Odd, definately odd. And Mikey was awake, too. So I played my game for an hour, and then I went upstairs with Jer. Things were starting to happen next door, so we watched from Mikey's window. Jer thought the white van that had pulled up was a paddy wagon, but it only had local government tags and a yellow light. I saw the cages inside, and noted that it was for animals. Jer thought it was for drug sniffing dogs.
Not quite.
So the cops are wandering around outside, we're watching, and NDN's bedroom light flicks on. After a bit, NDN and one of her kids come outside, she goes into the little enclosed porch area, and then comes back.
It turns out, they were taking her dog. She's only had the dog for about 2 weeks, but he says it's a pitt bull. I'm not one for recognizing dog breeds, but the dog that usually sits outside her kitchen door sits quietly, and is, from outward appearances and behavour, quite docile. The dog doesn't even bark at Holly when she comes outside and barks at her.
So animal control went in the house, looped the dog, and put her in the van. Everyone drives off. And we're curious and confused.
But back to the snow. After Jer went to bed, I went back down to play FFX-2. I played until about 330. I was aiming for 3, but I had the bloody lure bracer on, and I couldn't go more than a few steps without getting into a battle. Since the whole point of using the bracer was to collect AP points, I stuck with it until I got through the 3rd screen to the save point. Oooh boy. I checked outside, and the snow had just started to stick.
At 830, Jer wakes me up. Gee, it's been snowing. And surprise of all, we weren't plowed. He wanted to know where the camera was. Um, you were the last one with it! I could have stayed asleep.... Kinda like yesterday when he thought he'd locked himself out of the house. Ringing the doorbell, banging on the door...And guess what? The door was unlocked. He hadn't even bothered to try.
So anyway, Mikey was sort of awake, but there was no way Jer was getting him to daycare anytime soon, so he told him to go back to sleep. I'm curled back under my blanket and I hear, "Mommy! It's snowing!" Yeah, I know, Mike. He went downstairs to watch TV. I guess the excitement of snow was too much to go back to sleep on.
Speaking of sleep, I was having trouble getting back into that state. I was hungry. Who can sleep on a hungry stomach? So I had a bowl of cereal. I also called work. They weren't as impressed with the pictures of the snow as they were that I was awake before 9am. Ah well. Stomach sated, I crawled back into bed. Jer was somewhere outside digging out our cars...
At noon, we still hadn't been plowed, so I was anticipating just staying home. Jer decided to get pizza, and he took my car across the street. After watching him drive effortlessly through the snowy street, I got dressed. This is the first snow fall my Prius has seen, you know.
The rest of the day well...Get to work, work, it's still snowing. Work, eat dinner, I think it's still snowing now. Or it could be raining. I don't know, I don't sit within viewing of a window anymore.
But if I thought getting to work tonight was bad, it looks like tomorrow will be worse.
On other topics, the baby likes to kick. A lot, but not my innards. (yay)
I still can't eat meat, so I've been getting tuna subs from Subway. I even have trouble with pepperoni and sausage on pizza.
Oh, and I have a head cold.
That's it.
