So, instead of staying home all day anxious and irritated, I bundled up and trundled out into the great white abyss that is North Seattle. It was pretty painless, actually. My bus showed up not too late. I managed to not slip on any of the icy pathways. Though there were a few dodgy moments, it's slick out there!

I made it to work with 10 minutes to spare for a big meeting (to which most of people had to teleconference).

Then I chatted briefly with my boss, who was still house-bound, who instructed me to get Pete to buy me lunch and then go home. Where he suspects we should stay tomorrow, too. I am much, much happier having my laptop. I am now content with the storm of the century hitting, provided we don't lose power.

So Pete and I grabbed lunch, and then I toyed with the idea of a cab, but was too impatient and decided to just haul my ass back out to the bus stop, where miracle of miracles, the bus appeared on time. And now I'm home. I made a quick pit stop at Starbucks (lite eggnog latte!) and for some fire logs and active dry yeast (because I was out and want to make bread today).

The one thing that always catches me off guard is how different the bus-crowd is in the middle of the day. Largely, how pungent they are. So that part's always a little scary because for some reason they all chant or shout or do otherwise socially uncomfortable things. But happily none of them brandished a knife so all was well.

Hobbes doesn't understand why I'm home. Because there's all this light outside. But he is happy I'm here, even if he hates me for not giving him a surprise mid-day meal.

As much as I miss summer, I'm very excited to start using my fireplace again! Also, snow pretty!

*bounce*

Fireplace good, snow pretty!

Yes!!

I wish we had a fireplace!

Not the snow, though. Nope.

Since we're only coming up on being six years into the century, isn't it a bit early to be labelling anything "of the Century"?

Let me introduce you to Hyperbole, my best friend. Hyperbole, meet jsbowden.

And dear god, how'd all those typos get in there? *hastily edits*

I think snow is less of a novelty for you back-East types :)

I have to admit that I'm jealous of the snow you're getting, especially since the East Coast has been experiencing oddly warmish weather for this time of year. Of course, if we end up driving through a snowstorm during Christmas-time I'll be the first to start wailing "We're gonna die!" But *generally* I find snow to be peaceful and pretty.

Oh, and I keep forgetting, Happy Belated Birthday!

I admit I love the snow we get --because the city goes nuts, and I can generally stay home! Also, while it's pretty, it's temporary and not really a big nuisance in my life!

And thank you!
