I’m getting pretty tired of winter. This winter, to be specific, when it seems like we’re constantly under a new major storm advisory. There’s snow predicted for the next three days, with the same number of storms colliding in our area, polar-vortexing us into submission again. Which I suppose means we won’t see a thaw until sometime in 2018. I’m just tired of the snow that doesn’t melt, or melts only a little and then re-freezes later in the day. It’s not the cold or the longer nights. I can handle those. I just wish winter would knock it off for a while.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the stray cat seems to have left the garage when I scared it out of hiding. The garage is pretty tightly packed with stuff, but I did a pretty thorough search — tripping and twisting my ankle badly in the process, I might add. (The ankle gave me some grief last night, but ice and acetaminophen seem to have done the trick.) If the cat is<\/i> still out there, hidden in some inaccessible nook or corner, I don’t really want to think about what its lack of movement might suggest. I’d much rather it ran out the other night and discovered a warmer place to hang out.<\/p>\n

We should all be so lucky.<\/p>\n

Today I was on campus, talking with professors, which is that thing I have to do several times a year. It went well, I think. And I managed to finish reading the last ten pages of William Faulkner’s Sanctuary<\/i> while I hid out from the cold in the campus library. (I really<\/i> liked the book, so more on that later.)<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, though…well, there might be more snow. We’ll just have to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
