aaaaaaaaargh

When you open your front door in the morning, step outside and land with a thump in thigh-deep snow, one would hope the day can only get better.

edit morning classes are at least cancelled. And my adorable professor just got a little more adorable; on Friday he was delivering a lecture about prospectivity: "And we see the judicial restraint on the subject" - cue fire alarm - "...and I'll see you all on Monday." Long pause, while we all look at him blankly, and he said patiently, "We'll do ten more minutes on prospectivity at the beginning of next class, and then we'll move onto retroactivity, and now we'll flee the building."

This morning he's merely said: then fire now ice, with apologies to Robert Frost; enjoy the day.

I am going to go and file my taxes, get some coffee and growl.

I hope you have warm drinks and a snuggly blanket for your growling.
*hugs*

THERE IS NOT. I am actually considering going outside into the thigh-deep snow to get some. This is a bad plan but oh COFFEE.

Try hot chocolate & caffeine pills. Tastes better, & you still get a caffeine kick.

I think the fact I have drunk several cups of coffee every day with few exceptions for the last fourteen years indicates I disagree wtth you.

I'll take your word for it. I've never been able to get past the 'tastes like mud' reaction.

I think I'll stick to a nice cuppa for my hot drink fix.
