Subject: RE: BS: NorEast Blizzard? Batten down & check in
Just finished digging out both cars, and I'm grabbing a little Mudcat time before changing clothes and heading out for work. (45 minutes away) Missed 2 nights of work thanks to the storm(s) with only the possibility of making up 1 night. I'm wiped right now, but fighting with a computer for 8 hours will be relaxing compared to shoveling the cars out (and shoveling a path up the driveway to get to them).
Managed to walk up to the neighbors' yesterday afternoon in the thick of it. Up to my knees most of the way (only up to my calf in the lower part of the driveway), but up to my waist by the road. That was fun.
The weather has totally screwed up my car search and the coordination dance between the insurance check (inadequate, of course) and the rental car the insurance company is paying for. I'll just feel a lot more relaxed when I find reliable transportation (which I have to before the weekend). Ah well. Sorry for whining.
