It's snowed more in the last few days than I've ever seen it snow here, including the giant snowstorm we had in January a couple years ago. I literally could not get my car out of our neighborhood this morning - the snow was piled up so high that poor Kitty kept high-centering. (She's a very good car, but not designed for environmental extremes.) Fortunately a kindly neighbor helped me get back into my driveway and gave Brian and I a ride to work in her giant Ford F-250. Made for an interesting morning, let me tell you.
A somewhat amusing side effect of all this is that I keep having to postpone my music lesson for last week - on Friday the weather was pretty seriously bad and I didn't want to drive down to Douglas in it, and today I don't have a car with me. Hopefully this Friday will work a bit better - it's supposed to warm up later today, so at least I'll be able to get unstuck (though if it continues to be warm then the roads are going to be a slushy mess. Yay).
The kitties have their very first vet visit tomorrow, only about a year late. I finally convinced Brian that they needed to go see the kitty-doctor (helped in part by the fact that Mr. Jerry Brown is getting to be a very distinguished middle-aged cat - he turned 9 this year), and we eventually got around to investing in a couple of carriers. So tomorrow afternoon we'll head home, stuff them in the carriers, stick them in the car and take them to the veterinarian. I'm hoping it'll be a relatively painless experience, but at the very least we'll probably get to listen to a very pitiful chorus of miaous on the drive there and back. Poor kitties.
My copy of Oblivion hasn't shown up yet, likely due to the fact that mail's been a bit backed up thanks to the snow (when it all comes in by plane and the planes can't get through, well, there you have it). It's still kind of frustrating, though - I've been reading the strategy guide and I really want to play it. I'm halfway tempted to go over to Fred Meyer, buy a copy, keep the receipt, play it until mine gets here, and then return it. But that wouldn't be very nice of me, now, would it?
All right, enough procrastinating. Time to do the incredibly tedious and boring long distance billing...again...
