"Grab a book and cuddle up"---yeah yeah!
It's 3:55 and looking bleak out there. I'm in the basement after having the construction guys air-compressing and sawing and banging over my head earlier in the day. Finally got stir crazy and went for a walk, being careful not to fall on my ***, since I'm still so thrilled that the broken toe is pretty much healed. Worrying about whether Mr. Salsa will make it home tonight from Bremerton. Going to...grab a book and cuddle up.
In Albany NY, where I grew up, such stories as Mimi's would never happen. But I know it doesn't make good financial sense for Seattle to have a gazillion plows and tons of rock salt for the occasional winter storm. Just glad we're all home and safe...
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
