I think I'd take my shampoo leave it outside the door but put it in my
hair when I get there looking like I came that way. And go in and demand somewhere with good hot water to rinse it out.

As many times as it takes.

Nobody has come or called about the cold showers. Maybe maintenance thinks it's an issue with the hot water issue vs. a problem with our apartment. I don't care what the problem is... It's unacceptable, and I'm going to hit the ****ing roof if it happens again!

The weather was terrible yesterday, but it finally stopped snowing a couple of hours ago. It's going to start snowing again early tomorrow morning into the evening, and we're expecting snow flurries all day Saturday... yuck!

I have several errands to run, but I have to give the plows a chance to get things around town cleaned up. I'm going to have a pretty narrow window to get things done so I have to be careful about how I spend my time and energy. I'll have to make a list to see if anything I think I have to do can wait until the weather is better on Sunday.

I hope they get the roads plowed off soon for you so you can get your list of errands done...having to wait until sunday would make me stir crazy.
I am so glad that I don't live in snow any more.
You are a very resilient woman kay. I admire you.

very resilient........truly amazing!

Thank you ladies :grouphug:

The plow came by around 9am yesterday. When I went out to clean off my car, the passenger side was literally a sheet of ice! It took me forever to clean it off, but afterwards I decided to run a couple of errands hoping the ***hole next to me would actually clean off their car so my spot would get fully plowed by the time I got back (it didn't). The roads were already bare when I left..

I did my taxes on Tuesday. I e-filed my federal return, but refused to pay the extra money to file my state return the same way, so I hit the post office to send my state taxes certified mail. Then I played the lottery and got a coffee, and went to CVS to pick up two prescriptions, etc.

I went home to shower before heading back out to drive to NH to buy cigarettes and go to the grocery store. I bought the cat food and litter there and skipped the pet store. I also crossed the butcher shop off my list because it was out of my way and I had already run enough errands. We'll be eating a lot of chicken, but I think my husband will live.

I'm glad I got all those errands done yesterday! I didn't realize we're getting a blizzard and are going to get "at least a foot" of snow with 20-30mph winds with gusts over 40mph. No wonder why the supermarket was a nightmare yesterday! If that's not bad enough, we're going to get more snow tomorrow night, and Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morning :(

I hope my husband gets to come home early from work today. He drives all over the place, and some areas will be getting more than 3" an hour at times. His work is NOT essential, so he should be off the road, and safe at home.

He will have to leave for work early tomorrow morning and will have his hands full cleaning off and digging out his truck. I don't know how in the hell I'm going to be able to do it...
Maybe I will go out this afternoon and clean it off so it won't be as bad tomorrow. IDK. It's supposed to snow until 8pm.

I really feel for you with all of the snow that is expected for you guys.
I grew up in it. Hate it. Never want to live in snow again. We will retire here.
Good luck today with all that you need to do. Glad you got your errands ran yesterday. Hope hubby comes home early.

The snow started later than expected and didn't REALLY pick up until the afternoon. My husband came home around noon time, so I was happy he wasn't out driving around in it when it became a TOTAL white-out for several hours. We got A LOT of snow, but I have no idea how much because it's light and fluffy and it was SOOOO windy it blew everywhere. Fortunately, that means most cars aren't even covered, including mine, which is VERY good news for me :):):)

A lot of people are home, so that spells trouble for the clean-up process. Many of them aren't going to come out to move their cars as they should, and the ones that do will be fighting over the few spots that the plow is able to clear. I have a reserved space, but I can't park there if the ***hole who parks next to me doesn't move their car so the plow can clear my entire spot. I may end up having to park far away from one of the entrances and have to walk quite a distance around in the parking lot to get inside. I hope that doesn't happen.

More snow tonight.

My husband had his review at work today. He hates his job and has been very angry and frustrated lately. The owners usually ask for input... I really hope he didn't tell them to go **** themselves lol. It was at 6am, so I think if he quit or was fired I would have at least heard about that by now (it's after 7:30).

how are you?

Cleaning off my car yesterday was so easy! :) And the plow had already cleared a lot of spaces by the time I got out there :)
Bomebody parked in my spot while I made a coffee run even though there were plenty of other free spots. I knew who did it, and she was nearby, so I asked her nicely not to do it again. I think she was embarrassed to find out I was handicapped. By the time my husband got home from work, she had moved her car, so he moved mine into my space.

We were only supposed to get 1-3" of snow last night, but it looks like we got a bit more than that, and it's not the fluffy stuff this time. It's supposed to snow on Sunday morning, and we'll continue to get snow and mixed precipitation until Monday night.

My husband's review went well. The owners are very happy with him, and he held his tongue. He's getting another raise, but doesn't know when he will get it, or how much it will be yet. I hope that between the praise he received from ownership, his pending raise, and upcoming vacation will help make work more tolerable for him. He's been on call this week, had to go out last night, and wasn't very happy with that though. But it's part of his job, and he isn't on call very often because there are a lot of employees at his company.


Cause for concern:
For the last couple of days, I've been reminiscing quite a bit about old (and some pretty unpleasant) things and kinda putting things into perspective, which is usually not a good thing for me, but I can't seem to stop doing it. The wheels keep turning. I am not suicidal, but I've also started to have intrusive thoughts (OCD) about self-harm again. It's nothing new, but it's been quiet for a while. My anxiety is higher, so this may just be OCD run amuck, but it could also be a sign that I'm having a mood disturbance. Sometimes I have a hard time trying to tell the difference between heightened anxiety with/without worsening OCD and hypomania until my symptoms get worse, but I get the feeling that I'm hypomanic again now because klonopin is not really controlling the anxiety, which means it's probably not really all anxiety... not good.

I don't think my pdoc will be in the office until Tuesday, but I will call to make an appointment for ASAP. Usually she would bump up my Seroquel, but I'm maxed out at 800mg, so this is going to take some creativity on her part. Hopefully by the time I see her next week what's going on will become clearer, and that will make both of out lives easier as long as this doesn't get much worse.


I'm supposed to have surgery March 3rd to remove an unsuspicious ovarian cyst that's a little on the large size at 5cm because it's been giving me problems. While I'm out, my GYN is also going to remove a birth control implant in my arm called Nexplanon that's also been giving me problems, and I'm going to get my tubes tied so I don't have to mess around trying to find another birth control method that doesn't induce mania or cause other unpleasant side effects. I'm not worried about the surgery. I'm actually looking forward to it. I hope that whatever's going on psych-wise doesn't end up delaying the surgery.

things sound very good despite your worries. problems will be solved. your husband sounds appreciaataed. maybe he could ask them if he would give him closer places to work,. maybe it hasn't crossed theiir mind.
good about not having hormones. they can play havoc. you will fly through
