Why be in this mundane world when the surreal world in my head is so much more inviting, exciting, and not as complex?

Arctic Storm 08 Part Deux

picture-062Just when you thought it was safe to go back to work. Yes in a way it’s a winter wonderland, but it’s also a wretched mess; especially when you’re safe at home drinking Merlot and the power flickers. “We’re all going to die!!!” <- you text your entire network of… well, you text someone. Once the power remained on, I went to bed and woke up to figure out my work plans. The entire parking lot was still an icy mess, but I need to return to work. I need to go to the grocery store, I need to figure out how people on the East Coast in wheelchairs manage to get around in snow (come to find out THEY have crews clearing sidewalks and side streets). While I was informing my boss that I would make it later in the morning after the rain melted the ice away… another dumping of snow started… and it’s still going.

My only remedy to the frustration is to frustrate my son by telling him it’s rain, not snow. I see no snow, what the heck is he talking about? I also panic over the little things- like my garden light that tipped over. I was going to call the news channel to tell them of the horrible tragedy… but I think I’ll just post on it here instead. 3:30… and it’s still going. 24 hrs of food left and no holiday shopping done at all, I am just hoping the power remains on. So far 30,000 customers here have lost power, falling trees etc. Love the heavy wet stuff. >:-|
