Still winter, still cold.
Jan. 30th, 2026 11:40 amI skipped FCB rehearsal on Monday -- FPS decided that after school activities could go on as scheduled (they'd cancelled school because the DOT hadn't finished plowing the roads at 5am, by 3pm most roads were at least passable); but it was going to be two-swear-word cold by the time I got out of rehearsal, much less got home 60 minutes later, and I'd been getting "road closure due to crash" messages all afternoon on all of the main routes. I decided to follow the first rule of Winter Driving, which is "don't".
LCCB rehearsal was cancelled on Tuesday afternoon, as the director and president kept getting emails from people saying that they weren't going to make it to rehearsal because they were still snowed in (Livingston County is really slow about getting the secondary and back roads plowed). And it was going to be one(very strong!)-swear-word cold at the end of rehearsal.
But the work of elections and local government goes on, so off I trundled, extra mug of hot water in the bag so I could have not-coffee-flavored tea. (True, I *could* put a kettle in the kitchen, but I'm the only one who'd use it, and it's easier to put hot water in a travel mug.)
The cats have been pleased with the sunbeams to sleep in -- Annabelle has been snoring in a sunbeam for much of the last week. Ji comes into the south room to bask for a while, but then goes back to sleep in his nest on the bed. After glaring at the snow-covered outside.
