I'm glad we got Burning Crusade last night, because we wouldn't have gone today in the snow. On the other hand, while I'm grateful in general that it patches efficiently, I'm not really grateful in specific. Instead of sleeping during a lengthy patch, since there wasn't one, I got sucked in and played until 2 am. Scott's alarm went off at 6 since he had work. I was up by about 7:30 or so because I could not stay asleep once it was light, having been brought that close to waking.
Then I had the mixed joy (it's a beautiful day, and hey, I get to stay home) and frustration (I needed to get some of that stuff done) and worry (Scott's driving in that, but okay, it's just snow, not yet packed, and he knows what he's doing). And I got a headache, due in part to not enough water (which I quickly fixed), in part to sinus issues (not sure whether to hope those are allergy-related rather than virus, or hope I'm not that allergic to the cats), and in part due to very tired. But I don't nap well. So in a little bit now I will go to bed, and when I wake up tomorrow is when I wake up.
I got flowers from Beth and Chuck (they are lovely, and I must write a proper thank you some century but I fear it won't be this week, at least!). I got cards from several people (and there may be more in the mail, for all I know). The one that Uncle Jim sent was funny and cute and made my evening (since I didn't go out to get the mail until just a little bit ago).
Speaking of which, when I did so? The snow in the road has now been packed down and is slick enough to make walking across the road a rather dicey idea. (Sidewalks are not packed down and are fine.) So, I think I won't go in to work tomorrow early. I think I'll work from home until it clears off; depending on how late that is, I may end up working from home, period.
That's not entirely a bad thing. My phone calls today have spawned yet more phone calls, plus I need to get back to several places where I couldn't get through or (in the case of a couple local ones) where they were closed due to inclement weather. And tonight's mail brought a big batch o'forms to fill out. @whee. It also brought a Kakuro magazine, though! Not that I'm in any danger of running short of those any time soon.... Hee.
As an aside, one of the people who sent me some Kakuro stuff was![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dormouse_in_tea who, among other things, found the "black belt" Kakuro book, which I've wanted for a while but couldn't find (I had some of the others in the series). What was I, nuts? Ahem. I can't say I've never met a Kakuro that didn't challenge me. The challengers almost always do, the hard ones often do, sometimes another does. In this book? Pretty much all of them do. It's hard. The little Dell magazines, the easy and medium sections are mental candy. It's a question of how fast I can write, not how fast I can figure. This? This is not mental candy. It's very, very fun, although in a different way.
I am uploading a number of photos of the snow today, as well as a photo of the window above the door and one of Babe (because nothing says me like eclectic uploads). There are even a couple different snowmen! And the 'official' photo of the day is the lavender in the snow. The photos are at (or will be at for those still uploading - there are three in progress as I type this): http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyrielle/archives/date-posted/2007/01/16/ - the lavender bush is http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyrielle/360176740/
I am behind on replying to people who have sent me email. I must do this soon as I suspect some of them do not read this journal, oddly enough. :) But not tonight, not through a headache. For now I go get ready for bed.

Honestly, I either can do one of those in about a minute (plug-n-play, no thought required) or I can't do them at all. I just know you're clever at them, and didn't want to get you any of the baby stuff that's flooding the market these days now that they're 'popular'. . . but I guess I have a harder time than I thought telling what's not baby stuff.
