I did hold class this morning. Sorry guys. Only half came. I did cancel the second one. That one was less important in a sense (the first one I had to cover stuff on the test this week coming). It snowed right on time. they said between noon and one and sure enough....

I will say that there's a weather man exaggerating inches joke in here somewhere. We didn't get six, or twelve and definitely not twenty as predicted. I'd say it's between 2-3 and it's light, fluffy snow. That gives me hope that my power will stay on. SInce it's nearly midnight I feel pretty confident in that. I think it's supposed to snow more tonight and tomorrow but it hasn't snowed in hours so we shall see.

I spent the day working on my writers group stuff and trying to write. Then took a nice hot bath with a glass of wine and a finished a book while Kanda played in the bubbles.

I did call my doctor and thankfully I did since they did NOT call to confirm my appt which is 8 AM monday, an hour away from here. I'm not amused and I hope this isn't too horrible but it involves needles into the nerves of my hip and thigh so you know... And on thursday at 7 AM I'll be in PT. this week coming isn't going to be fun.

Also after Lucky Uncle won last night, he won even more and didn't call mom til this morning. Another 5K. Wow. I should be him. Seriously

And goodreads just lost my review. Again. I'm going to have to start doing these in Word. Damn.

I've already got 10 inches and it's still falling heavily. It's definitely bad out there.

Yeah you guys were in the purple blob of doom.

We got another 3-4 last night so we're probably in the 6-8 inch range.

stay safe.

It started snowing last night by me. I'm sorry you had to have class in the snow, but glad you were able to cancel your second one & go home early.

I'm also glad the worst passed you by! It's still SNOWING here. I was out about an hour ago & it was up to my knees. I needed to move the garbage cans from the backyard to the front (& get the urge to be out in it out of my system XD). Pick up is Monday. *laughs* They haven't even ploughed yet, so who knows?

*huggles* Good luck on Monday. I hope it won't be too terrible!

Lucky Uncle is LUCKY in ten foot high capital letters!

I hate when stuff like that happens. XD

luckily it wasn't snowing at all in the morning so it was okay.

well it snowed A LOT more in the early morning hours. They haven't ploughed here here but they rarely do

Monday it should be fine and warm

Lucky uncle IS

stupid goodreads, stupid user, how many times has this happened? I always used to do it in word first. I'm going back to that.

Yeah!

Same here. I just opened the window & tossed some old apples & birdseed out for the poor things that were looking for food in the feeder. There's too much snow for me to reach it. We could barely get the front door open. XD Still waiting for them to plough & I have the feeling they won't until tomorrow. If it's that BAD, they might not do it until Monday which means we might get a snow day. :D

Nice. Yeah, it'll be nice Monday, but just a bit warmer, I think. Not really enough to melt it. They were talking about 40's & rain, but we'll see. :D

He certainly is! :D

Awe... *huggles* Okay. If it works better, then go for it. :D

oh geez. I'm heading out there in a bit to take a snow walk. Love walking in the snow.

good luck to you.

yeah i did. got two reviews posted.

Nice!! Me too, although it's too deep here to walk. *is short*

Thanks! You too! :D

YAY! I need to get back to writing. XD

ahahahahaha I'm 5'9" so I can go strutting around. It was up past my snowboots so about 10-12 inches of the stuff

you and me both re:writing. I've been dicking around. I'm going to start some soups cooking then work on writing and school stuff.

*laughs* I'm only 5'2" so it was way above the tops of my boots. An they reach my knees. It was up to my thighs. XD Or felt like it when I brought the garbage cans around to the front. I had snow in my boots when I got inside. Then I saw the poor lil birds looking for food, so I've been dumping birdseed out the window for them. XD According to this one site, we're supposed to get 24 to 30 inches of snow. o.0

Yeah... I've been searching for snow amounts, chatting with friends & feeding the birds. XD But I did somehow mange to get a fic done, so yeah. now to start another one. ;p

poor you. My two aunts know your pain. One's 5'1 and the other 4'10"

You'll be buried if you get that much snow.

Yay for finishing fic. I'm still dicking around

From: [identity profile] kiramaru7.livejournal.com
XD Yeah? XD

Yeah! *laughs*

I may have finished it, but I'm dicking aorund trying to find a title for it. Since it's set in the 50's I wanted a 50's song for it. XD

Date: 2016-01-24 03:44 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
ahahaha, there are plenty of good song titles there. Is this Hetalia or original

Date: 2016-01-24 04:20 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kiramaru7.livejournal.com
Yeah... Too many to choose from. XD

It's Hetalia. Side story to "Blue Moon" takes place before the events of "Blue Moon."

Ah okay, good luck.

From: [identity profile] kiramaru7.livejournal.com
Yup. :D

Thanks! O actually found something & managed to post it. I'm a day behind, so I'm hoping to catch up tomorrow. I have one more fic to write & since the prompt is high school, I'm going back to the 50's. ;p Last one is Masquerade so I figured I'd draw another pic. Then I need to get my arse in gear & write that GerIta pinch hit. XD

best of luck getting all that done. I've done jack other than a wee bit of editing

Date: 2016-01-24 05:01 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kiramaru7.livejournal.com
Thanks! You too! So far we got just over 27 inches of snow & after checking again, I think it's still snowing so we could end up with around 30 inches. XD

From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
Oh geez! So you're getting all of winter all at once

From: [identity profile] kiramaru7.livejournal.com
*laughs* yup! XD

We had a few more inches of snow but it's melted - a lot of it - despite the 30 degree weather. Now it'll turn into ice. Bleah.

Though Rogue does like playing in it. She jumps around and snuffles. It's cute. Vinnie's more of the, "Ew, let's go inside now" type. I agree with Vinnie.

Glad your class got in...mostly?

Ummm...I'm glad you called your doctor. That's kind of out there.

I want Lucky Uncle to adopt me. Or gift me with his luck.

From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
yeah no one likes ice

I'm with Rogue

eh it's a tough semester since my students are mostly non-trads with kids and they cancel school for nothing around here

It is.

You and me both

From: [identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com
It's purty but. So much trouble.

I know. Except Rogue also likes extreme heat.

Oops. That does make it difficult for you and your students. And they cancelled school here three or four days in a row this week...

Date: 2016-01-24 12:29 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
yep, that's ice

That's when Rogue's nuts

yeah right, exactly and not everyone can afford a sitter

Date: 2016-01-24 12:56 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com
Well, Rogue is an eld.

Can't afford a sitter, doesn't have one available at all...

Date: 2016-01-24 02:39 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
yes she is

and exactly. It's very hard for them and some faculty are NOT understanding

Date: 2016-01-24 02:50 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com
Which isn't good, considering the area and your population of students.

From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
yeah but what can you do? I think we have ties to the day care across from my building but it's still very expensive AND closed whenever the schools are

Date: 2016-01-24 03:29 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com
Either offer some sort of reduced cost day care when necessary or...
I don't know.

From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
You need a license and I'm getting the idea that the lawyers have tied hands so much on the snow day stuff

Date: 2016-01-24 03:53 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com
yeah, Lawyers. SIgh.
