our intrepid girl blogger is losing what's left of her mind.

Today brought thunder, snow, rain, freezing rain, flooding and no doubt tomorrow will feature 2 lane skating rinks on every horizontal surface. And it's supposed to go back down to zero or worse, next week. Again. For the 4th time, but who's counting?

The condo residents are up to their ankles in flooded garages and raindrops keep falling on many heads due to ice dams leaking water through the new roofs, which weren't supposed to get any, anymore. The site manager is taking his wife to the orthopedic surgeon; she fell in her workplace parking lot and suffered 3 fractures (all the bones attached to the ankle).

We aren't doing well, and we have GOP government, to boot.

Everybody, put your minds to it and push that Polar Vortex back where it belongs. Ready? One, two, Three...

The second room is painted...all that remains is convincing my autistically impaired daughter not to ruin it. And the paint fumes...for a bit we could open the window, but it cooled down rapidly.\

Maybe I should just check into a rest home...

Let's not even get into the clients.
