"TRAVEL IS NOT RECOMMENDED THROUGH THIS MORNING"

So says the National Weather Service.

We got a foot of snow, and have very high winds. Technically, it was a blizzard. The winds are starting to diminish a little, so they've downgraded the blizzard warning to a winter storm warning, but are still advising people to stay home.

Churches canceled service this morning. One of the most popular restaurants in town had decided by lunchtime yesterday that they would be closed today.

I have to work. Mr. Beenie already left for work.

I'm a little annoyed, because in my company, there are two call centers that handle what I do - mine, and one in Michigan. They had some bad weather over there about a month ago, and the whole call center was shut down. [whine] So where the heck's our snow day? [end whine] Grrr.

Not completely my mother's daughter

I am like my mother in many ways, and I am unlike my mother in many ways. I added one to the "unlike" list this week.

I most assuredly do NOT have diabetes.

Being as overweight as I am, combined with my personal family history of the disease (both sides), it's always a risk. I was tested when my mom was first diagnosed, but for the last few years I just hadn't thought of it.

I found out this week that my fasting glucose is a wonderful, glorious, non-diabetic 76.

:D

What is it with me and blogs?

It's kind of like the journal I kept meaning to keep in my adolescence. I'd get one of those pretty "upholstered" books filled with clean, crisp, lined paper full of possibilities. I'd dream of filling it to bursting with my thoughts, fears, dreams, goals, or even just mundand day-to-day happenings.

Or not.

I'd write for a few days, until it fell by the wayside. I'd find it a year or so later, having completely forgotten about it.

Much like here. *sigh*

Or is it that I haven't had much to write about other than work, which I don't want to do here. Too worried about getting Dooced, y'know.

But I've had some happy news recently, so maybe I'll give it a shot at keeping it up again.
