Hibernation
The snow has stopped, but it's windy and there are snow drifts. The street hasn't been cleared. I saw a line down in the alley, so I called the police non-emergency number. Apparently some trucks jackknifed on I-55, and the northbound lanes were closed, but now it's opened up. Typical winter storm mess.
Zara found the blanket that I left on my kitchen chair, and now she doesn't want to get out of the chair. I told her that I'd warm it up for her.
Uh-oh. Zara wants to jump into my lap, but Mimi is already there. Zara decided to eat dry food instead. Mimi left, and now Zara is in my lap. I'd like to make breakfast, but I'm a mattress.
They're plowed the street. They're really staying on top of things. I'm trying to decide what to do about the driveway. Tomorrow there's a high of 15F, and it's warmer today. But it's very windy with blowing snow, so the snow might blow across the shoveled driveway. The Weather Channel says that the wind will stop by 6 PM, so maybe I'll go shovel then.
Studied my Spanish flashcards.
As soon as I got up, Zara came running to claim the chair. I think that it's no longer mine :)
Had a nice nap with Mimi. Took the chair from Zara, but moved the blanket to the other chair. She checked it out, but is now looking out the window. She'll get used to it being moved eventually. Right now, though, she's protesting that I moved it by lying on the freezer. Now she's decided that it's okay.
Had my Spanish lesson. He really keeps me working hard, which is good.
Mom visited an out-of-town friend earlier in the week. She's been sleeping a lot the rest of the week and is trying to get rid of her cold. She's really upset about the government shutdown. (So am I.)
I think that I'm going to make some Spanish flashcards and then go to bed.
