Going out today, NOT

Going out today, NOT

I had made the effort to go out today. But the bus I was supposed to take never showed up. I later found out it was canceled and the jerks at the public transportation didn’t send out an alert, like they should have. If I had gotten the alert, I would have just stayed home. Instead, I froze my butt off for a half hour. I am still pissed but I can try again tomorrow. Maybe I will bring a shovel with me to dig out a space so you can get to the street without trying to kill yourself. The sidewalk was clear but the street wasn’t. Once that freezes over, you can easily slip and fall. I really don’t want to fall in the middle of the street with cars coming at me.

I came home and had lunch and coffee. Much needed coffee. I made it perfect again. Seems I am getting the hang of coffee to water ratio down pat. Now I don’t know what I am going to do for the rest of the afternoon. I think I will work on my short story while I still have my coffee buzz. Then I think I will hit my office and try and go through some old mail and junk/shred things. I saw some old Explanation of Benefits from my insurance company that I am sure I don’t need anymore. I have to find the insole to my LL Bean slip-on boots. I know it’s in that pile. I would love to wear these boots again because they are so comfy in the winter.

Just got a tweet saying that my town is no longer under a snow parking ban. That is nice. Too bad we can’t park across the street because the snow is only 6 feet high. It would take someone several hours to dig out and then where to put the snow? We can’t toss it on the sidewalk or in the streets or make the drifts on the sidewalk bigger than what they are. I really wish we can have some rain and high temps, like 40 degrees, to get rid of some of the snow. We have a break from snow the next few days. I think we are supposed to get some over the weekend but temps are supposed to be in the upper 30s so maybe it will just be rain like I am hoping. I have seen enough of this winter already and I usually love winter because I love the cold. I will be the first person to complain about the heat. Maybe not on the first hot day but the second. I can’t stand the heat. I rather it be 65 in my room than 75.

My mood right now is kind of pissed off because I rather be typing this in Starbucks than my room, again! I hate not having a car in weather like this. But then, I would be a pain to constantly move my car and shovel it out with the way the winter has been. I just wish the T was more reliable lately. I hope they are reliable Monday because I have to go out to get my pain meds refilled. I plan on going out in the morning so I can catch the morning buses and just stay at Starbucks until it is time to leave. I will be meeting with the nurse practitioner, not my PCP this time. I hope the airhead just fills my prescription without having me pee in a cup. Last time I couldn’t go because I didn’t drink anything. This time I will be prepared, just in case.

I have been in dehydration mode the last few days. Mostly because I don’t have any bottled water to drink. I have been conserving what I have left for my medication that I take at night. I usually drink Powerade but I am out of that. I suppose I could have bought a bottle while I was waiting for the bus. But I am relaxed now and don’t feel like making a trip out again.
