As it still hasn't stopped snowing Corey's school was closed today, which he was very happy about.
But I wasn't happy when we went to pick up nanna to take her to the doctors and realised that there was no way our car was going to get off the estate. Snow measured in feet and an untouched road meant we got as far as the corner and had to turn back. Or more accurately, spin back, where the car got abandoned away from it's usual parking spot. So nanna cancelled her appointment and I hit the shops with James on foot. Which wasn't that bad at all, the snow is deep but looked pretty and I was all wrapped up, except for my feet which were freezing. But, what's annoying is a parcel got delivered on Friday and we weren't in. So, clutching the card today I went to the post office, only to be told my parcel had been left in the mail holder on my estate, and the post vans couldn't get up the hill to pick it up so redelivery or pick up could be arranged. So my parcel is right there but I can't get to it. Goodness knows when the vans will be able to get up either.
I am the most complain-ey, I know this.
I'm still very much on a Frank/Mikey kick, though even though some of you are enablers, I won't be pushing my WIPs aside and starting something new at this point. Especially as those WIPs are coming on nicely. Mainly due to mini_nano I've managed to get my 300 words at least in every day this month, even though sometimes it was a struggle, and I'm happy it looks like I'm going to finish the month on a satisfied note.
Man, now it's thundering and lightening while snowing. The hell weather?
Okay, plan for the evening includes coffee and a recently posted fic that may be very relevant to my interests.

Date: 2010-11-29 09:46 pm (UTC)I'm most annoyed at my parcel to be honest. The box where the postie leaves the parcels they can't carry is at the top of my street. So close and yet not in my hands.
You're a terrible enabler. You and Sperrywink. I'm going to end up with Killjoys in Space and it'll be all due to you two.
But my WIPs /o\ I don't suppose you want to cast your eyes over the killjoys wip? I'm a little stuck plot wise.
I'll now go and gaze at your icon for a while.

Date: 2010-11-29 09:57 pm (UTC)I too would be annoyed if it were my parcel. In fact I would probably have attempted to break into the box by now.
Killjoys in Space! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaant!
But for now I will totally make do with Killjoys in the desert - send it on over and I will happily cast eyes all over it. I am making grabby hands at my laptop, just so you know.
And I will use it again because it's so pretty.

Don't put ideas like that into my head *g*
Killjoys in Space would be awesome! I know it's insane, but I can't stop imagining them with their own personal space bikes, all colourful and covered in stickers.
I'm sending it now. The most ridiculously indulgent story ever. It's good that you know me otherwise I'd have shame.
It's beautiful.
