jesus fucking snowy christ

[hyperspaz]

coming to work today was a bad idea. for days i've been talking about the icy roads, and today of all days, i decide to drive. actually there was no snow in seattle, barely even any on the ground left from the last storm and the roads were just fine by now so i left for work. by north everett it was starting to snow a little and by marysville it was full on. but i kept going because the freeway was still okay. normally i would have called to see how the weather was at work, but for whatever reason, it didn't occur to me today. so as the snow got worse and worse i kept truckin though it, and it was all fine until i got off the freeway (at which point i figured i had gone too far to turn back now). the normally-scary-anyway highway that goes from I-5 to arlington had a good build-up of snow and not many people driving on it. luckily everyone was going a sensible 15 mph as opposed to the usual 65. i made it to the intersection right in front of mirkwood and had to stop for a bus that was turning. after that it was all over. i couldn't get traction to move foreward again. luckily i WAS right in front of mirkwood, so anthony and travis and ulysses pushed my car out of the intersection and i parked it safely. but now i'm stuck. there must be a foot of snow on the ground and it hasn't stopped snowing for one second the entire day. it's not supposed to tonight either. the snow is pretty entertaining... seeing people who aren't me slide their cars around in it, watching the kids make a huge ridiculous slingshot that barely worked/have a 6 hour+ long snowball fight/build half of a snow fort, etc. but it's fucking cold. as if i have to tell you that. and i don't like the feeling of being stuck. i want to go to brendan's house. i'd rather be stuck there than at work. on the plus side, the power is on, the internet works, and there is bountiless vegan food to be had, plus a shower if i need it. i don't know when the snow is going to stop. it's supposed to tomorrow, but temperatures aren't going to get above freezing for like a week. i really don't want to be trapped for a week! i don't even have a change of clothes! i DO have my comfy memory foam pillow and m favorite fuzzy blanket (i was bringing them to brendan's house, in theory) which will help since i'm going to be sleeping on the loveseat again. last time i had to sleep on it for a week and a half straight and my back got FUCKED up. oh yeah, and all of my clients called and cancelled today. so i made $0 and spent probably around $30 or so on food coffee and gas. i only have one appointment tomorrow... she lives in town so hopefully she'll make it in, but if it keeps snowing like it is...

in other news, i spent my off-time working on my website. i now basically have the layout done, and while there are things that i'd like to tweak about it, i probably won't. i started making the content but i'm having a bit of writers block. normally when i make a website i get most or all of the content that i have planned done before i launch the site. should i do that or launch it with only some of the content and add it as i go? (if you have known me for 5+ years you might recognize something about the site!)

i'm really tired and mirkwood doesn't close until 1:00am, so i can't go to bed until at least then. sleeping here is creepy. nothing happened last time but i really don't want to have to deal with any ghosts...

that's it for today. oh except yesterday we broke our all-time low record. woot fucking brr.
