ugh, snow

We got about 3-5" of snow over the weekend; between that and the sub-freezing temperatures, I chose not to do laundry until today, when the snow had had a couple of days to melt off the roads and parking lots, and the temperature was closer to freezing than not.

The Raley's ran out of Arizona diet green tea in the cans, so I've been making do with the plastic gallon jugs. It's not the same, but at least it provides me with more containers to dispose of used syringes. I'll be going over there tomorrow to pick up eggs, cream, and some more cans of tea if it's back in stock; another gallon jug if it isn't. I still have half a turkey, three containers of ham and one of soup, a couple of kielbasa, three packs of brats in the freezer, and a lot of canned soup in the cupboard, to say nothing of the ingredients for various breads. I could probably stand to avoid the Raley's for another week or so, but the flesh is weak.

SSDI showed up at the credit union a day early,  so I paid most of my bills, bought another CD set in Klaus Schulze's La Vie Electronique series, a tool for cleaning my keyboard, and a Ciaphas Cain novel for my Kindle. I'll drop off the rent check tomorrow and put the Frontier check in the mailbox, because fuck their useless website. 

I went out to do laundry and eat an early dinner at the Stage Stop (garlic cheese curds, a Philly with eggs, and fries) and it was hard graft, I'm telling you. Had to scrape off the car and be very careful walking across the ice & snow to the car and from the car into Tonopah Station.
By the time I was done drying all my stuff, I was so tired that I couldn't fold all my clothes and wound up just stuffing them in the laundry bag. Arms are still sore and I think I'll forgo the daily linkagery in favor of doubling up tomorrow.

With that, I am for bed, since I was up before 0800 today and it feels closer to 2300 than 2000 which it actually is.
