SNOW DAY

I got up, saw the big red placard on the school website (yes I turned the computer on hoping before I even hit the bathroom), went back to bed.

WHEEE. I considered making another Lumpy the snowman in celebration but really I need to caulk the damaged windows (i.e. all of them. I swear he caulked them with marizapan) and maybe get the plastic up if the caulk dries in time.

Speaking of snow, it occured to me Soul's never seen it. I went out and got him a handful. He was unimpressed. I put it on his head just to see what he'd do. Give me a disdainful look and shake it off.

For a snow day today isn't going so hot

I did get the caulking done. I think it made a little bit of a difference. Found the front door draft stopper and i'm sure i won't use it long. My door is SO bad that it passes over the draft stopper (it's one of those dual ones that are supposed to fit on either side of the door).

I got all the 2010 bills and what not out of the file boxes, put some things in an 'IRS' folder and recycled all those paper envelopes. This took an astonishing amount of time.

Mom called to tell me my cousin Palmer died today. It wasn't much of a shock. He was closing in on 70 and smoking got him last year with trachael cancer. It finished him today. In the middle of this call, she got a call saying Aunt S (her best friend) was rushed back to the hospital coughing up blood. Yeah if she lives out this year I'll be shocked but I said that last year too.

I have my orthopedic surgery appt for my shoulder tomorrow. It's getting really bad. Then monday a blood draw then the monday after that the endocrinologist (hmmm i'll be thru my insane deductible before i know it)
