VD and other issues
It was uneventful for me. But then, it always is. I didn’t get anything, but that’s fine. I did get accused of sending a VD gift, which I wasn’t expecting.
The weather here sucks lately. I can handle cold. The snow has been pretty tame. It was the ice that was a pain in the ass this week - even spent a night in Newark so that I didn’t have to make the commute. That too was uneventful, except for all the drinking in the hotel bar. They had no idea what they were getting themselves into when they gave us free drink coupons.
The only upside to the ice is how pretty it makes things. Trees gleaning white. Buried cars looking like their stuck in time (and not just in place.) Wednesday as I came out of the hotel I could have pulled a perfect ice shell of my car off Nighthawk. The drive was slow, but not too bad. Last nights freeze was kind of a pain though, but it all melted today.
Should be a quiet weekend - just a haircut and vampire appointment tomorrow, and then time to prep for the onslaught of the Odyssey craziness of the next three weeks.
Did I mention I broke my glasses? Right at the temple. I’m gonna just get a new prescription, since my eyes don’t seem to be up the challenge they were before. But that’s gonna have to wait a few weeks to have time to do it. Oh, and one of my brakes squeaked the other day. Looks like an actual repair (as opposed to maintenance) may be in my future.
I have pics of ice covered trees at the office, but they’re locked away on my phone, so you’re gonna have to wait. That’s if they even are worth posting - they are camera phone pics.
