I wasn't in the mood to go to work today, and the snowstorm gave me the perfect excuse to stay home. Yes, I could have gone into work. But that would have gotten in the way of catching up on some much needed rest. And I wasn't going to let that happen.

The plow had come a couple of times during the night, and there was 4"-5" of snow on the cars in the parking lot. Instead of getting up earlier than usual to both get dressed as Marian AND clean my car of the snow on top of it, I decided to stay in bed an extra couple of hours and get dressed as Mario for the task of car cleaning. Luckily, the snow was still fluffy, and I could easily brush it off without trouble, So, off I went to get a late breakfast (or early lunch, as it might be called), and then back to the homestead. But I wasn't inside for long before the plow came one last time to clean out the parking lot. So, it was back into the car, and off to an already plowed visitor's spot.
When I finally looked at my email, I received an email from my pen pal in Canada. Seems like life isn't going that well for her. Her mom is ill, and needs surgery. And if she survives the surgery, they don't know how well she will function. Afterwards, I decided to see what was doing with my former cruise partner's niece, as she was dealing with stage 4 cancer. Sadly, her niece passed away before I had the chance to visit. I sent a message to my former friend to tell her of Becky's death - and have not heard from her. Just as well. She'll never get over her hatred for me, and there is no longer any chance to patch things up. There is one last message I have to send her, and I plan to do so in a couple of weeks. At least, no sane person can say that my last messages were nasty or those of a nasty person....
