further snow

it's snowing again. right now. big fat wet snow. no one's pleased about this one. the hope is that it will turn to rain today, although, of course, it's due to freeze tonight, so tomorrow the streets will be ice. i continue to be pleased that i work from home. kara will walk or take the bus this morning.

next week it should get warm enough consistently to melt it all away.

a furnace person is supposed to come today. my hopes are not high. a confirmation call did not come yesterday. i confess i have little faith, especially given the weather.

i had several peculiar and enticing dreams during the night but they rapidly faded. yellow and eliot were climbing all over us all night. i think max got kara up only once. yesterday morning he did poo in the house one time, but, on the plus side, his gastrointestinal system seems to be working well, miracle of miracles, and his stools are firm and well-formed. hence, easy to pick up and dispose of. there is only the lingering odor, which i hardly notice any more.

of course our house smells like shit and piss.

so yeah, on that note, things are great! kara's birthday is a week from today! tivo showers us with unsolicited recordings of tv shows, most of which we delete unwatched! sagan, the limping wonder, has decided she likes cat food!

kara took this picture the other morning, after the second snowfall of the year.
