Wintry mix

[muckefuck]

Today would be an excellent day to be at home. This morning, there was a blustry wind from the north that was predicted to blow all the warm air away. Plus, it's started raining. If the mercury sinks enough, we may get what's quasi-euphemistically called "wintry mix", i.e. some blend of rain, snow, and sleet. Good thing I mink oiled my new boots last night and wore them to work today! I also pulled my winter coat out of the back of the closet.

monshu is home, damn him! He took the day off to cook and bake for tomorrow. His cozy little apartment probably smells fantastic right now. He's taken care of everything else and my job is to find, gut, and cook a pumpkin for him to fill a pie shell with. My mind has already gone on vacation; work has become a slog today.

If it's not a pretty day to be on the street, it's a truly gruesome day to be travelling. My heart goes out to e. and bunj and anyone else who'll be on the road or in the air today. My decision to put my foot down years ago and tell everyone I was no longer interested in leaving town for Thanksgiving seems more justifiable than ever.

Preach it, brother!

I think I saw her trying to pass a bad check in Marshall Field's, but I wasn't sure it was her, what with the fuzzy fake snow-encrusted decorations in the way.

Thankfully, we left last Saturday. Getting back, however, is another matter.
