Snow and other news

There is just something completely wrong with looking out the window on April 10th and seeing snow. I don't live in Alaska, people! Give me some spring here! Gah.

So I got some really great comments on boolprop about my Sim story yesterday. They love me, they really love me! :) Or at least they didn't hate it, and that made me very happy. I did, however, slip up and post it without letting J read it first. Oops. Sorry, babe. You'll be the first reader of every chapter from here on out, 'kay? Promise.

I discovered one good thing about being at home all day when it's this cold and I'm out of fuel oil - running the space heaters and kerosene heater all day long makes it actually comfortable in the house! It was up to 63 at one point yesterday evening. I haven't felt temperatures that toasty in my house in a week, at least! It was amazing.

And in addition to enjoying the warmth in my house, what else did I do all day? Well, I took care of the animals, and I cleaned the toilet, but other than that? I didn't do anything constructive at all. I played the Sims, I wrote and posted my Sim story, I responded to comments about said story online, I read the end of one of the books that I had borrowed from Sarah and I watched all of the General Hospital episodes that I had built up on my DVR. It was a GREAT sick day. :)

And today I'm back to work, which is less great, but after a day like yesterday, I almost don't even mind. A sick day that doubles as a mental health day is a good thing indeed. And now I better get back to work. Later, gators!

(p.s. - if you want a taste of central NY weather - it was snowing when I started writing this update, and now it's not. Our weather is very fickle.)
