I think this is the worst storm yet. At least as far as inches go. It's not wet and heavy like previous snowstorms were, thank goodness.
I moved my car into the city garage this morning, but before I did, the car was buried in snow -- and it was cleaned off yesterday! It was a treacherous, slidy drive, once I got on the road. After parking, I had to catch a train home, but I was lucky there. The train came quickly, and it was not very crowded. Then it was a four-block walk home from the station, in very deep snow. Snow was still coming down. It is still coming down now, hours later.
I can leave the car in the garage until Friday at no cost. That's a blessing. Maybe the weather will be better by then.
When I was at the station, a man asked me for change. All I had was a $5 bill, and I gave it to him. He kissed it. There's something about standing in an awful storm like this that makes you want to help out.
I spent $2 on laundry today. Variables are at 57%, right at halfway through the month. I have plenty of food, the gas tank is full -- I have everything I need except needles for Iggy's drip line. And actually, I have two of those (which are good for two runs, and fluids are done every other day). So I should be good until I get the car back. I'm going to try to relax and enjoy the amazing scenery.
