Bit.....errrr... A Day for Sniveling......

Up at 5 am to turn the furnace up higher.  Yes there is white stuff out our door LOTS OF IT!!  (Expletive deleted) I'm sure I went to sleep in NM and woke up on Rocky Point Drive in Gillette where I am time traveled back to MARCH 2008!!!  Not!  The main difference is we are NOT cold!  Even if the snow is coming in sideways from the NORTH!  It needs to shape up and keep it.  So I will spend a few minutes sniveling then straighten my bunched up big girl panties and proceed cheerily along.  Since I'm going nowhere and Ken will more than likely spend the day in bed no one will know if I have succeeded.  


Snivel #1 My printer has stuff stuck in the print queue (glad I finally learned how to spell THAT word!).  I have done all of the snobby computer geek stuff: turned it off; physically unplugged it at USB and electricity; waited overnight for these two fixes to pong the machine and fix it.  It didn't work.  so I went online and downloaded a fix - it SAID it fixed it but when it restarted it was still there.  So am deleting the whole kit and kaboodle and starting from scratch.  There - I have smile #1 for the day.


Snivel #2 - I wonder WHY I thought I should get rid of my tall snow boots?  THAT was really stupid.  And this shall surprise no one that I slogged around in my "slipon" fuzzy boots.  Well they are on the heater and shall be dry before I go out again.  Yes - doggy duty.  


Snivel #3 - Sorry Clay but you aren't getting ANY credit for sitting outside today - and I DID come over to sweep your step but the wind is not bugging you as much.  
SO the stats:
Today is Dec 23
Day 99 on the Alley
Sitting outside? 80 Days (.5 Clay/Oct; .5 Nov/Clay; .5 Dec/Clay; .5 All)
Rain: 3 Dec; 2 Nov; 4 Oct
Wind: 3 Dec; 4.5 Nov; 6.5 Oct
Snow:  SNOW??? SNOW??? 4 in December
breeze: 7
Hail: 1 Nov


Snivel #4 - I put off going to the store yesterday forgetting the weather alert that was out.  Well, SPIT!


OK That's it - no more sniveling. On to happy things.......in the next post.
