Snow Blows

Written February 20, 2021, when I tried to start a WordPress blog, but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated.

I live in San Antonio, Texas because of circumstances, not the weather. Still… I’m going to need this winter to get back to the normal 60s and 70s. 

The snow this past week was really pretty… the first night, when it was 10 degrees… not so nice the next night, when it was 9 degrees and the power went out. I never lost water, thankfully, but the power never came back on over the next four days. 

On Thursday, when the power came on for all but 4,000 homes, I was one of the 4,000. Never even got a text message saying something like "you’re not part of the rolling blackouts… something is actually broken in your neighborhood… maybe you should plan accordingly". Annoying… cold. 

We got relief at my sister’s house for a couple of nights. Power is back on, but AT&T is saying the outages damaged my router, so yay, no internet!! Kind of important for two reasons. 1. I’m working from home these days. 2. Can’t a girl get a freaking break!? My brain needs to veg. I want to take a nap and fall asleep watching Grand Designs. I am done cleaning and reading and knitting. Yes, knitting. I want streaming anything on any device bigger than my phone (First World problems)!

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Busy!!!

This weekend was jammed pack with errands and stuff. I played the Sims3 for about 5 hours on Saturday, and other than that, I never really got to sit still. I took my car in on Saturday because it was shaking horribly whenever I got up 60mph. Ended up having to get 4 new tires and an alignment. Sunday, P-Dub and I went to Joshy's house and stole his couch. He's moving and gave me his old sectional. I LOVE it! P-Dub went to his dad's for dinner and I stayed home and nested. Cleaned, rearranged. Love it! Gabby had to stay at her dad's one more night since I didn't get my car back until today. P-Dub spent the night so he could take me to work. He played the Sims3 and I read my new book. It was so domestic and sweet. I knew I wasn't crazy when I took off Friday from work. I'm working way too hard. Because I have to. Really shouldn't say too much about my job here, so I'll just say that I've been doing too much...alone. And it's kil...

2 More Days!!!

Gabby and I get on a plane that leaves at 5:30am on Friday to head to DC to be with Jessica, Eric, and the new dog. I can't wait! Gabby's never been! And she was too little the last time she was on a plane to remember it. Exciting! Last week, Jess' friend Deannie was in San Antonio. We met up for dinner and drinks. Love ya, Deannie!
