Aww, hell. The weather's shifting. I painted today & it's snowing tomorrow

[politicat]

I painted the living and dining rooms a great shade of stormy grey, took down the storm windows and the heat-sealant and took down the heavy drapes today.

And now I go look at the weather reports for tomorrow...

3-6 inches of snow. 20s and 30s.

Shit. So now I'm stuck with latex paint fumes, no storm windows (so the house will be cold), AND I need to finish the trim and get another quart of the grey to touch up some areas where it didn't go on perfectly. I also have Interlibrary loan library books that HAVE to go back. Which means driving.

In the snow.

I am Murphy's bitch.

1. Ohooo.... snow. Cool, for you guys.

We're still in drought. I think Dobson has jinxed us. :shrug:


And tough beans on the library books. The library could use the change. :)

2. This will only be the third snow for us...

Honestly, I'd rather have rain. We all need the water, but it takes what, 8 inches of snow to get an inch of water? I've got sick plants from the drought and the freeze-thaw cycle; they're not going to make it through another cycle without a lot of babying. (There's an heirloom rose bush on the property that is at least 60 years old, and a couple of cottonwoods that are not happy with the weather. The lilac bush can live through anything.)

Ya'll need to host another Atheist Convention - the last time Colorado Springs held one, the city got 10 inches in 24 hours. Almost enough to make me believe in a god. (And it made Dobson froth at the mouth.) That was Easter 04, I think.

The books are already overdue - since they're Interlibrary loan, I can't renew them, so I wanted to finish them. They're getting three or four bucks out of me as it is. They've emailed me twice about them.... *oops*

Do you get up to the Denver Metro area often? Any interest in a Gathering?

3. The girl child is in Fort Collins...at least for now. ..so I go north.

Water your plants.
