Winds are up

Boy I’m glad they kicked up hard after I was already home.  I hate the wind.  We get high winds here, hurricane force all the time and no one in the world cares.  lol  But I still hate it.  You can hear it hitting harder than normal on the front window.  Which means it’s not coming from the mountains and the snow storm isn’t here yet.

There is supposed to be one more big storm coming in and I am told by my Dad it is expected Thurs. night.  So we’ll see tomorrow.  My Dad works security at the port and the ships are all trying to get by tomorrow morning, so that is a better sign I think than any doppler radar.  lol

Laziness is bad

Here I sit on the couch again.  There is snow on the ground and more on the way, but the main roads aren’t bad at all.  Our side road of course is, but that always is.  Nothing you can’t get through even without a 4 wheel drive.  I’ve hit the button just because, but it’s more hassle to pull over once you are on the main roads, then it’s really worth. lol

my old glasses

Oh boy, I’m wearing my new glasses. At least that is what I call them. LOL I got them 9 years ago in Feb. Good grief, that is pitiful.

In my defense I did called around here recently because I obviously need a new prescription, my glasses aren’t strong enough anymore, but every place I talked to didn’t take my insurance. I only want a prescription from the eye doctor, then I will order online instead. Why pay my deductible when I can go to Zenni optical and order new glasses and even sunglasses starting at only $8. Lots of free extras are included and shipping is a flat rate $4.95. I really want some prescription sunglasses! But couldn’t really afford them before, now I will be able to have some sweet glasses and actually see. lol

SNOW!

It finally hit.  They’ve been teasing me and saying we’d get it for days, but the snow finally was delivered.  There’s about 4 inches out there which is a good dump for us.  More is supposed to be on the way again tonight and then Thursdayish another storm is coming through.  Quit odd for this late in the winter.  But I’ll take it.  Big problem is trying to get the son’s bday party planned around all of this.
