A Full Account of Thursday

AUC 2759 October 29
Thursday
My thought process on Wednesday night went something like this. "Mother will need help getting the snow off the road tomorrow morning. Plus we have a new snow blower that will make the task easy and besides that I'm not quite ready yet, so I'll get up and pack then."

Unfortunately I made a series of mistakes in judging the depth of the snow and the ease that I would have removing it, and so when I finally started it was actually around one foot deep rather than the two inches I had guessed at some hours earlier. It was also a heavy sodden mess that necessitated using the lowest possible speed and frequent stops to clear the throat of the machinery. After the first pass the machine ceased to work entirely and had to be returned to the garage for repair and tinkering before I could resume with the next two passes.

Finally with the road clear enough I drove, slowly, towards Denver. Night had fallen and the snow was thickly packed upon the highway. It resembled driving upon an old and rutted dirt road so thick was the snow, with potholes that opened to pavement inches under the surface and jarred my vehicle. I passed one person apparently afraid to get out of first gear crawling at no more than five miles an hour. For my part I kept to a reasonable thirty until I finally found pavement that was for the most part free of snow.

I love spending time with my boyfriend, animazed, so though tired I was very happy to arrive at his apartment in Denver. After a merry meeting there was sleep and so passed the day before MileHiCon.

Ah, so now I can see what he looks like. Very nice. You two are going to be in serious trouble if you go to Yaoicon together, you know - too much like the embodiment of yaoi fantasies. :-)

This has been mentioned. Esp. his resemblance to a Japanese pop star.

Here it is cold (low 40s) and wet. I hate cold and wet. I may have to quit whining though, because yours will be a colder and harder winter than mine. At least I don't have to deal with the snow and ice. But it will be cold and wet for months, and I already hate it and it just began. So I'll likely whinge again.

This is why I like Colorado. No humidity to speak of. Sure that means we need to moisturize and use lip balm, but it is totally worth it. (late reply)
