This national holi-Monday has been exquisitely motionless. No work today. No packages could be mailed for MMD because the post office was closed. Banks were all closed today a well. No need to go to the grocery store, outside of looking for discount-priced Valentine chocolates, because we handled all of the grocery runs and other errands yesterday.
The Winter Storm 2010 that they were predicting for last night and today never materialized. The temperature was 40 degrees when I first stepped outside this morning and the forecast has been changed to warm(ish) and partly cloudy with no rain for a few days. The way things have been going here, they may change the forecast again by morning.
The mercurial forecast means that the house is in a state of chaotic limbo because the painter keeps rescheduling for the next day and then canceling again when he fears bad weather and icy roads. The furniture in my office is staying shoved into the center of the room. We've gotten tired of moving the bedroom furniture in preparation for the painter that never shows up.
The only lasting sign of the snow last week are the giant snowballs in two of my neighbors yards. Looks like they gathered every inch of snow in their respective front yards and rolled it into enormous stacks of snowballs, never adorned to be proper snowmen but at the proper 2 or 3 boulder height. Instead, there are big dirty globs of mud, dead leaves, and ice sitting in their front yards.
Tonight's plans include leftover greens and beans for dinner and watching No Reservations on the Travel Channel.
Purple Punk Rocker from Atlanta, Georgia. Now just a faded Goth Ghost in High Point, North Carolina. Missing my old haunts while looking for a new one.
