kellan_the_tabbyWe went out for a bit before it got back, to pick up salt (though I think it's too cold for it to work) and a new ballast for the light in the kitchen. The ride home was...entertaining. I'm glad I'm good at sliding.
The cars are parked across the street, and nobody has parked in front of our house yet. With lots of luck, it'll stay that way, and they'll plow up to the curb on our side since there are no cars there. Sometimes it works, and when it does, it saves us a lot of effort - all we have to do is get the cars out instead of digging whole parking spots.
We're in for the duration, now. Got plenty of food (had plenty of food anyway, but I picked up some fresh stuff yesterday) and plenty to do. I un-moderated the Eisental list, since there are likely to be a lot of people snowed in, bored and chatting on the list. With luck things will remain polite; they have been since I laid down the law on Monday.
We'll likely get some cleaning done (time for the tree to come down) and copy more of Jae's resources. Maybe take a nap or two. It's time for those weights Lewis got for Christmas to come out...though, with shoveling to do, I'm thinking we should take it fairly easy on the things. Or, for that matter, on ourselves.
Time, too, to get moving again on one or another of the heraldry projects I have going. The Geirr-Bassi project is now in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
giselle0002's hands for proofing, and to see if my decisions on which name should go where make any sense. I may start on Brechenmacher again; the Catalan names project is closer to being done, but I need a native French speaker for that one soon.
And time to pay attention to the cats. Yes, I do that anyway...but more is better, ya know? One of these days I ought to get pictures of the lot of them up somewhere...
I put cat food on the back stoop, too. Any feral who's survived the rest of this week, in the snow and cold, deserves an easy meal.
It doesn't look like it's snowing very hard. Little tiny flakes, hardly enough to diminish my range of vision when I look outside. But it's piling up. I think we're past two inches now, and it's supposed to snow more heavily later on.
There are still people out on the road. Go home. Whatever it is, it's almost certainly not worth it. If nobody's gonna die if you don't go, don't go.
Time to shovel again, I think.

Date: 2005-01-22 12:08 pm (UTC)Been out to shovel the walk once already. Put out seed & suet for the local feathered wildlife. (I have cardinals in my spruce tree & sparrows/wrens/generic small brown birds in the bamboo.
I brought in a shitload of deadfall from the back yard yesterday & plan on having a fire going in the woodstove for most of the weekend.
Plenty to eat, plenty to drink, and RumpleMinz for the cocoa after shoveling.
It's nice & quiet here, too, since Toshi is down in Exton --though I don't know if he'll be getting to Al Hafla as planned-- and Jon is off at drill. Just me, the pets, the fire & plenty of books in the bookcase.
You two keep safe & warm, and don't hurt yourselves shoveling.
