PINK is my favorite color... but is this necessary?

sara's gonna be mad at me for writing a nasty post like this- but, this is my pink eye and this is how nasty my eyes feel and look (see pus in the corner of one eye)
i have to think i gave this to myself... b/c the only time i left the apt in the last couple of days was to go to the doctor.  and i certainly haven't touched anyone.
it's like i live in a dorm room again.  sad. 

guilt over my charming personality.

when i left for school this morning, my parking lot looked like this:

i felt bad constantly taking pictures- but, then when i got home, there was this GIGANTIC pile of about 8ft high snow right behind my car- ie: pushed up against the wall. kinda like this:

so out of their "three lots" they still have one one lot that still looks like the above picture.
and... i feel bad that my natural charm and sweet personality made them go dig my car out- even though i had no real reason to "have" to have my car out.
i know they do have to eventually free everyone, and i guess if other people were hovering out there, their cars would have been freed too.


the process included the plumber dude getting in my car and un-stucking it for me b/c they realized telling me which way to turn the wheel wasn't working.
then the plow dude in his SUV, started pushing around the snow, getting rid of the pile of snow- and then moving it around, so that it was now pushed towards the sidewalk.
that plus the other two dudes with shovels and steve with his snow blower were all working to move the pile- so that the SUV guy could push it.    I should have made a video.


anyway, i'm gonna bake these gentlemen cookies.  b/c i asked if they had a beer fund i could give them money for- but they laughed and said, no, they're just doing their job.
so cookies will maybe help them as they continue to clean up this mess.


i hope they can at least work through the first lot tonight... (although admittedly my walled lot was probably the one that was most problematic b/c you can't just push snow into a wall )   but, oof... i feel guilty for say the people in LOT 1 who still have that 2 feet of snow lying there.


i got my $85 worth today.
and i think my dad got back a quarter of that illegal parking $140 tow... 
too bad i'm so charming.

STUCK IN A BLIZZARD...

Sorel's

Blizzard PM shot

waking up to a stuck front door

this is about 20 inches of snow

no school.

NU doesn't cancel school.  They haven't since 1979.  But Wednesday was cancelled.  My 8am prof on Thursday cancelled because he knew the commuters wouldn't make it.  I'm kinda expecting to go to one class tomorrow... but my midterm was postponed.


The doggies have pooped in the snow outside my window- so maybe I'll have to go out there sometime today and see it all for myself.  Just not out my front door.


The wind gusts of snow wind look awful.  
No good TV is on, the busses are running, I live on a major street so-I do see signs of life.


Kinda wish I could go down to the lake.
I guess I'll take one of my midterms now.

here's a snow song
