Home today and tomorrow, my first two vacation days of 2010. I had been planning to take Friday off in any case, but then the Winter Storm Warning went into effect and I thought a 4-day weekend might be a plan. There are only a couple inches on the ground so far, but it's supposed to fall throughout the day and overnight. By the time the storm pushes through sometime tomorrow, we could be left with 11-14" of snow. At least it's the fine stuff. Much easier to shovel...except for the fact that the temps are then supposed to plummet and the wind pick up. No fun shoveling snow when it's windy. I'll need to break out the ski pants and the special gloves that are too damned insulated to be used for anything but holding a shovel.

In non-weather news, I am now the proud owner of a new set of pots and pans.

way too much about pots and pans )

On the Gaby front, it's been about 7 weeks since the switch to duck. She seems just fine-- ::fingers crossed::--bouncy and happy. I have noticed that she stares at King's food for a few moments after I set their bowls down. It's as if she's trying to figure out why her food looks different, or why King has crunchy food and she doesn't. But then she eats.

Snow's still falling. Pups are napping. I need to put some pots away.

The Kong toys are proving more popular than I thought they would. I'll be sitting in here working, and from another part of the house, I will hear...remember that scene in, iirc, Barrayar, where Cordelia and Aral hear thunk thunk thunk through the walls as Lt. Koudelka learns to operate the sword stick they gave him? I hear the thunk thunk tumble of rubber on hardwood as Gaby tosses one of the Kongs. Then both she and King come in here and pester me because I am not supposed to be in here.

Now I'm being woofed at.

There is no peace.

In anticipation of more snow, I went out and shoveled the drive. About three inches of heavy powder, easy enough to shovel but heavier than the fluffenstuff of two weeks ago.

Estimates for my area were for 11-14 inches.

We still may get hit if the thing rotates over the lake and picks up moisture as it circles back around.

::waiting::

Refilled the wood boxes. Blackhawks on tonight. Will be staying indoors in anticipation of THE SNOWS.
