Snowpocalypse update

[fatrockstar]

With all the stuff coming down from my sky you'd think there'd be more on the ground. I just took a ruler outside and measured just under 2" of snow. It looks like the sun is trying to come out.

Allison is IMing me to let me know a group is about to walk to a pub by her place. If I joined them I'd have to drive, and I don't know if it's worth it. I'm still waiting for the afternoon commute to start so I can get an idea of what the road is like. The intersection that gets me out of the 'burbs and toward the commerce is notoriously perilous when it's dry. I can't imagine what it's like covered in snow and ice. I'd really like to go. It's too far for me to walk -- I'd be outside for an hour at least, and it's uphill all the way back... darn.

My fingers are cold.

I can't even work from home because the remote access email isn't letting me in anymore. Why am I not playing video games? Oh, right -- it's because I'm addicted to my window to the world known as The Internet.

I'm fighting the urge to bake cookies. Instead I am cleaning and throwing things out in piles. Anybody know if I should be keeping the papers that come with my prescriptions? I've never needed them before, but I'm worried that I probably should hold on to them for some reason.

I vote not worth it -- the second wave will be here in a couple hours.

Yes, we have blue sky for the moment.

Only 2"

Wow, we have over a foot on the ground here.

I'm a little surprised myself. The way it's been falling you'd think it would be deeper.

If you need a record later of what you filled when and how much your copay was, etc., you can usually request a report for a given date range from the pharmacy (good to check on that, though - I just know for sure Bartell will do it locally).

General reference info you should be able to get at any pharmacy on request. If you've got your (up-to-date) item codes, names of the prescribing doctors w/ contact info and the number of remaining refills written somewhere, shred the random bits of paper.
