Snow!!!!

I do NOT enjoy the snow!!! I agree that it is beautiful.....I don't like not being able to get around safely....The "pundits" gave us a lot of hype that we would probably be buried in the stuff...then there were blue skies yesterday so I actually started up the car and went to get my meds at the pharmacy....Glad I did...it is probably 4 to 5 inches this morning!! I peeked out the window and noticed that the walkways were clear around the building, so I hitched up Fritz and gave it a try....He is not much of a fan of the snow any more than I am...so it was a quick trip...Needless to say we arrived home safe and sound....we'll give it another try around noon or so..

I had a magnificent birthday on the 7Th!!Seemed like there were more phone calls than in the past...Dian came and cleaned my apartment and we went to dinner (all of us here in Seattle area) and then off to the casino....where I actually came home with more than I brought!! I just love getting together with my family!!!

I have a friend here in the building, who has the same birthday....she's a year younger than I am...she had me up to her apartment for some celebratory wine and wonderful conversation on Tuesday...then played CLR (a simple dice game) on Thursday and won 3 pots which gave me enough quarters to wash a ton of laundry..Friday I went to lunch with the building ladies and played scrabble that night (didn't win that, but did come in 2nd)....Saturday Jocelyn treated me to a trip to the nail salon where I got my nails done, Brooke got a pedicure, and Joce got a mani-pedi..Then we went to Wal Mart and I stocked up on groceries....so I don't need anything during this snow business...and then to dinner....A nice day, that's for sure.

I have taken a leave from my volunteering job...my car's lights are hay-wire..and I come home when it is dark - don't want sketchy lights when it is dark!! I am seriously thinking about getting rid of the vehicle and rely on Access for my transportation..if I get accepted by Access that is....It takes a long time....I sent in the first questionnaire over a week ago and haven't received the second, more detailed one yet. The next step after that is a trip to Harborview for a physical to determine if I am actually disabled....I really don't think I am...unless you count being old being disabled. So...we shall see!!

Enjoy the snow.....I will as long as I don't have to go out in it!!!!
