Brrrrrr

It's noon, on a Monday, and I am sitting in my bed at home. Yesterday it snowed. And then it hailed. And then it snowed some more. And then it hailed. And that carried on for a very long time. A guy who was supposed to come and look at the house I live in (it's for sale) called to say he'd gotten stuck trying to drive up the hill.

I assumed it'd be fine this morning. I assumed they'd grit the roads.

Not so much. I struggled to get out of my driveway, then out of the weird drive thing that leads up to the houses where I live. Then I made it halfway up the hill. And slid all the way down again- a storm drain saved me from carrying on further, and thus I was forced to abandon my car on the wrong side of the road, in a place that kinda concerns me to be quite honest.

So I got out, and started to walk, but the pavements were scary icy. And my calf, which I strained last week (crossing a road, sudden run, felt like I was shot in the back of the leg, have been limping ever since), protested strongly.

So I came back inside. I am full of guilt, as I had two labs today. It's possible I'll be made to try and walk in in an hour or so, if the weather conditions have improved. I kinda hope that's not the case though.

If anyone who is currently bitching like fuck about how hot it is where they are would mind sending a few degrees our way, that'd be greatly appreciated so as to avoid death by snow and whatnot!
