Snow

Sadly unoriginal thread as I join with the rest of the Northeasters in reporting that I woke up this morning to significant snowfall. But I was also awoken by the sound of a snowblower. My neighbor, God bless him, had taken it upon himself to snowblow my walk and driveway, thus saving me from the weeks of chiropractic care that I could see in my not so distant future. He was also nice enough to do this when we had the January blizzard. It's impossible to thank someone like this too often.

Other than that, a cranky start to my day. I'm working from home which I hate. My writing room is for fiction writing, and I won't bring my day job into that room for fear of contaminating the room with bad vibes. So I'm out in the living room working off the coffee table, wishing my knees and hips were ten years younger. Make that twenty.

Also cranky because Barnes & Noble sent me an e-mail today telling me that they were unable to ship my order for "Crystal Soldier" since the publisher had changed the release date. They hoped to ship it "soon" and promised to update me on the status by e-mail within 30 days. Grr. I was looking forward to reading it this weekend. Of course with B&N, it's entirely possible that a) I will receive another note within 24 hours saying that they found the book and are shipping it, or b) they will simple cancel the order and never tell me. I've had both things happen with them when I pre-ordered books before their release date.

Meantime, think I need more coffee.

Happy March everyone.
