Dec. 8th, 2003 06:30 pmHmm, it seems I haven't posted since before Kaph came and went, and that does feel like an awfully long time ago already. Well, by now I think everyone has snow, but I'll suppress my eager self this time and not ask how much. I can only trust that sister and a were eventually rescued by Snow Rescue Corps... I believe that's where The Shoveller ended up working, so I trust they're in good hands.
Last week was a somewhat annoying postal 'training' academy for which I had to travel an hour and a half each way over icy mountain roads, and I use the quotes because I already knew most of it from my on-the-job, and because I've already been working for several weeks. (The academy was postponed in November.) So I ended up being a sort of TA. Oh well, I got paid mileage, plus overtime because I worked Saturday (my usual slot).
And since the mileage check alone more than covered my ticket to New York in January, I'm really done whining.
There's not all that much to report. We're all dug out now (and yes, studded tires are much-deserving of praise), the duck flock has a new winter pen (made of hay bales, for insulation and windbreak), and the cats in their furabouts move from sleeping by the stove to perched on the back of the chair to watch the birds come and go at the feeders. Life is good.
Except it's down to 28 degrees where I sleep, all you cold-apartment people... not to demean any cold apartment, but you surely can sympathize. I give down comforters even more praise than studded tires. =)
And now, I must away, to my evening auditors' meeting. Everyone email Kaph some time in the next two weeks, and give her a bit 'o cheerleading... she's up against an evil essay exam, and much enough else, all God's people *encourage* her! Yeah!
