G’mornin’, folks.
I’m rather relieved. Weather report called for up to 4-6cm of snow towards the morning rush hour, but my area at least seems to have avoided so much as a flake. On top of that it’s not nearly as cold as it was yesterday – we’ll see positive temps this morn! I can take winter when it’s like this.
I witnessed a slightly surreal image this morning. There’s a costume shop in a small business plaza just down the street from my work. I pass it every day. They have a life-sized, rather beat up fiberglass black stallion prop that they keep outdoors year round – kind of a signpost for the store, even though there’s nothing written or displayed on it. (They will sometimes tie balloons around its neck though) Most of the time it’s set up on the grassy berm between the sidewalk and the store’s section of parking lot. This morning it was standing on the other side of the sidewalk on the berm between the sidewalk and the street. There was a newspaper delivery guy refilling the newspaper box that was immediately behind and below the horse’s head. From the distance and vantage I was at as I walked up the street, it looked for all the world like the newspaper guy was currying the horse. It gave me an odd giggle.
Drae - methinks your cat has been hunting pixies again, and for once was successful. That pixie dust gets into everything. You’ll be brushing it off your clothes for weeks.
LiLi - Ugh. I don’t know how you managed to hold it down after that. I can easily become a sympathetic puker if I see someone else chunder. Having to clean it up would guarantee it. I don’t do well with that sort of thing. Time for smaller pills, or perhaps even liquid vitamins.
