Did I mention winter is upon us?

Just want to make sure, because it's freakin' cold outside Mr. Bigglesworth... Not to mention the snow and ice. Ugh. The winter advisory said snow, not ice and only 1-3 inches of accumulation, no big. That's a freakin' walk in the park here in the midwest. Yeah, stupid weather advisory. The ice was so think on my car this evening that I could not get my door open. Luckily my brother was able to get the other door open and after letting the car run for 15 minutes or so, he was able to break the ice off my drivers side window, the windshield and the back. After a bit, I was able to roll down the rest of the windows, which even with the windows down remained completely blocked by ice, and broke that ice with my windshield scraper.


Ha - take that stupid ice storm! Accept, most of you know that I am wholly uncoordinated and have a knee cap that likes to dislocate - walking on ice, not good. If you do not know how much it hurts to dislocate a knee cap (and I hope you don't), you may not understand why I get a little weird about walking in the ice and slick. I am not a fan of pain and not being able to walk for a week or so until the cap goes back into place - also not a pleasant feeling. I actually stopped at the convenience store on the way home and bought some ice melting salt and covered the path from my car to my front door (I really wish I lived in a place with an attached garage), because in the 4 years I've been in my place and cannot remember the management company salting the paths to the buildings ever. I probably looked really stupid, but hey, it's better than a dislocated knee.


The only problem is that I am not leaving my place again today and maybe not tomorrow if the weather does not improve, but I don't actually have much by way of food in my place. Hmmm. This stinks. I may have to call the Italian place across the street and have them deliver.


Besides scavenging for food, I think I am going to take my SIL's advice and curl up in bed with a few episodes of Psych or a silly movie and wish away the bad weather.


Oh - and check out this blog post from the showrunner for the Sarah Connor Chronicles, it's freaking hilarious(I know, I'm over using the 'f' word tonight)!

Stay warm, drive safe and if possible, just stay home.

Until next time -
