I Hate Snow. I Really, Really Hate Snow.
Today's Writing Effort
Today was a day of being cold. That was just the long and short of it. I got up and when I went out to let the bunnies and chickens out, there was snow up to the top of my boots. Good thing I was wearing my jeans. But I was so tired and cold that I went back to bed and slept in until 8:30am. When I got up, I got ready for my day and got to talk to Dan on the phone after I had scarfed down my oatmeal. It was the best part of my day by far.
I went into town and exchanged something at Murdoch's that was broken when we bought it. Then I went to Biolife and did my donation. It went faster than normal. Yay. And when I was done, I went to Pet Smart to get Yule presents for Venus, Yuno, and Theo. After that, I went to get my Biolife money off my card and was pleasantly surprised that there was $100 on there from this week. Yay! That covered my student loan payment with a tiny bit to spare. When I was done at the ATM and the bank, I went to a pawn shop downtown to buy some DVDs for folks, though I'm going to have to wait until after the holidays to mail stuff since I'm now fairly broke. *Le Sigh* After I was done, I treated myself to McDonald's and got some baking stuff at the Eastgate Albertsons. Then I went home.
I had a few minutes to myself and then had to shovel the walk, but Bastion helped with that and it went pretty fast. Then I got to warm up a wee bit and maxheadwidth asked me to help him with the plowing. That meant leaning out the window and getting blasted with cold air and snow so that I could see if the plow was too close to the road or too far up from it. I think I did okay. And while we were doing that, I had asked Bastion to put the bunnies and chickens in for the night and he did not. And when we were done, and I had gotten a moment to try to defrost, Bastion asked me to help with the bunnies. Grrrrr. The whole point of me asking him in the first place was to make my night easier.
Jenny and James were going to go out on a date and dinner wasn't going to be ready in the crock pot for a while because it didn't get set right earlier in the day. So they went out to eat and when they got back, Bastion and I were just getting things ready for dinner, but the crock pot wasn't done cooking the meat and I had to try to cut it and cook it on the stove, which made the meat tough. *Le Sigh* And apparently I was supposed to cut some for James too, but I didn't know it and I felt like I was just failing all over the place. I always feel really inadequate in the kitchen.
After dinner I FINALLY got some time to myself. I got to talk to Dan again, which was really fun. I was tired after that and made the executive decision that I was just going to do the dishes in the morning. It's not like anyone else was going to fucking volunteer to wash them instead. It's like if the kids are gone then I end up just washing the dishes all the time instead of it being rotated amongst whomever is home. I think I'm going to bring this up to James and Jenny. I mean I even have to wash after I cook too, which is generally considered a no-no.
I'm just grumpy because I had to spend so much time outside and I really didn't want to be outside at all. I mean if I hadn't had to go town for shopping and Biolife, I would have stayed home all day.
And to top it all off, I did the math and between my trip to Bellingham and James' trip to California (for work), we won't see each other for more than a few hours on 01/03/2018 for thirteen days. That's almost two weeks without seeing each other and that makes me sad.
I still haven't worked out how to get to Missoula for priapussy and Justin to pick me up. I think the best option is to drive myself to Biolife for my donation and then have James and Jenny come pick up the car later in the day. Since James would most likely use it while I'm gone anyway, that makes sense. That way he doesn't have to drive the truck with the plow on it unless he really has to.
I just want to be warm. Is that too much to ask?
