dchenesHarvard has a massive case of craniorectal inversion today. 10" of heavy wet snow, arrived at the bus stop to find the 7:40 bus had slid into a light pole, roads not plowed, and I arrived at work to four emails from various offices about how Harvard is not closed. I am one of three people in the office, and since I'm the senior person in the office, I said we were ordering lunch if the roads were good enough not to get a food delivery person into an accident by 11:30. (Apparently they are, but we can't decide what's for lunch.)
This weekend I sat down and got some serious embroidery done. About damn time. This pattern is gorgeous, but sometimes I want a big chunk of one color instead of six stitches of each of 10 colors umpteen times. I got to page 14 and had to do a big chunk of one color in order to figure out where the six stitches of each of 10 colors umpteen times part goes. It was very satisfying.
After two weeks, I think I can safely say I can add "donate the Trader Joe's tuna wet food somewhere" to the Friday list. Lily doesn't want quite as much Tiki Cat as she's getting, but she is eating half-to-most of it depending on the day, and Snip has been hoovering up the salmon like a small furry vacuum cleaner, and it doesn't seem to have screwed up anybody's digestion. Now I have to figure out if I really need to spend $130 per month on cat food.
I recorded Free Solo last night (National Geographic channel ran it with no ads) without watching it, because I was busy embroidering and I want to actually watch it without doing anything else at the same time. It deserves at least that much. I did seek out one spoiler when it first came out, before deciding I wanted to watch it, though.
Last March we got four nor'easters back to back. I hope this year we can be satisfied with one largish snowstorm and a week of polar vortex and then it will be spring. (File under "Keep dreaming", probably.)
