Snowpocalypse 2011!


I feel that the aftermath of Snowpocalypse 2011! needs both a capital S and an exclamation point, because the weathermen actually got it right today. Especially since I just opened my front door up out of curiosity and found a drift that went up almost to the window of my garage. Crap.

Luckily, I ddn't have anywhere to go today. Well, I take that back, I was supposed to go to physical therapy this morning, but they called me at 745 to cancel because the building was closed. That was nice, but then I couldn't go back to sleep. So, I got up and looked out the kitchen window, and nope, still couldn't see the stoplight up on the corner. Usually I can see it just fine. Since I was stuck in the house, I curled up on the couch with a cup of coffee, a book, and the remote with some stuff on DVR to watch and then caught up on a couple of other shows on demand.

Now, I"m still trying to unpack, but I'm getting too easily distracted by the interwebz and television (is that a shiny object?) so I turned off the TV and hit shuffle on my iPod while I'm waiting for my dad to maybe make it over today and use the behemoth of a snowblower on my driveway, either that or the mystery person who's been plowing my driveway before I moved in to come and plow it. That'd be nice. Of course, if dad gets over, then I'll have the baking powder I need to make dumplings to go with the chicken stew that I'm hungry for. Stew just sounds like a good comfort food on a cold and oh so snowy day. And maybe, just maybe, I can now go convince myself to figure out the tangle of wires on my desk and set up my PC so that I can use that as well. Maybe I'll get through another couple of boxes too.

Maybe.

Figures

It's the day that I have to move. Of course that means only one thing. It's pouring outside. Happens every time. Shouldn't have guessed that today would be any different. Blech.

Going home

I'm sitting in my room right now surrounded by controlled (well semi-controlled) chaos. I'm trying to pack what I can so that packing goes quicker when my dad gets here in the morning. Trying to get as much done now so that I can get out of here sooner. It seems kind of wierd though. I've been here at school since August of 2002. The longest period of time that I've spent at home since then has been 3 weeks at a time. I'm going to go crazy this summer. I almost went crazy over Christmas break when I was at home, and like I said, that was only for 3 weeks. I'm going home for 3 months. And I need to find a job too. I'm so broke right now.

It just seems weird to be going home. I've been at school on my own for so long that I don't feel like going home and living under my parent's rules again for 3 months. And dealing with my brother all summer long too. Ah well, I'll get to go out on my aunt's boat again this summer. I'm ready to sail again, even if I do have to get my sea legs back again.

Summer isn't going to be all that bad
