cabbitzillaSnow. It's everywhere, it seems. This morning found me up early, pacing the house and staring out the windows, and counting over and over again the pair of cigarettes I had left. Noting that the milk in the fridge was still bad. Listening to what's left of my body creak and groan.
I decided to get ambitious... we needed milk for what I'd planned for supper tonight. I figured with it being so impossibly cold and damp outside, I could survive on two cigs... but finding that the milk had soured meant I -had- to go out. By the time I had the car swept off, I was back to using my cane... hopefully that'll just be a today thing. Fired the Saturn up, warmed it up, and crept cautiously out into the neighborhood towards the highway.
Now the Saturn's a really good beastie; I've never had a problem with it in foul weather. Most of the accidents from folks driving in the snow are from folks who don't know HOW to drive... much less in bad weather. With so few other vehicles on the road, the shortish drive to the 7-Eleven was quite pleasant, and the snowy landscapes were -very- pretty. As I pulled into the 7's parking lot, I noted that every other vehicle there was a newer SUV... most of them only two wheel drive. (Don't get me started there.)
Inside the 7-Eleven? Yeah, they had my cigs... but they were completely out of milk. The clerk working the register was the guy who owns all three of the nearby 7's, and he commented that they were -all- out of milk. Hrm. Supermarket's weren't open yet; gotta love Sunday morning in Anne Arundel county. So I drifted back here... knowing that in another hour and a half or so, I'm going to have to go out again. *sigh*
I wish I could go back to bed.
