Minnesota winters suck

[ostarella]

I've been debating all morning whether to try shoveling out today or wait until tomorrow. High today is only supposed to be 5 degrees F, tomorrow up to a whopping 15. I don't really need to go anywhere - well, unless I get so stressed out trying to decide if I should shovel that I smoke extra heavy. But I've already missed today's mail delivery (if I even had any mail to be delivered) and I have food enough in the house, sooo...

I'm not being lazy, honest! But we got about a foot of snow, which blew into drifts, and then the snowplows came through, so I've got a 10 foot long section of sidewalk that's packed snow... and it's only 5 degrees. I was having some heart problems when I was working outside at 25 degrees, so yeah... not leaping toward that possible adventure. And I never thaw out, either. I won't warm up now until sometime in May...

And so yeah... in a very bitchy mood today.

I hate winter.

Yeah - at least, once I have a job so I can pay for it - vets are strange that way, wanting to get paid for stuff :p

yeah - and such a rip off too! You think they'd do it for free... so that they didn't have lots of little moggies running around.... :-P

We were lucky, when Chloe adopted us... she'd already had her op :D

Actually, there is a group that rounds up stray animals and gets them fixed - the vets do it for free or reduced charge to the group - and then they set them free again (too many and too wild to try and adopt them out) but now that Fang has a home... oh well.
