I'll take cave trolls for 500, please

With a Nor'easter forecasted to arrive tonight, the plan was to get up early this morning, head out to the shopping centers to finish Christmas shopping, and then hit the grocery store before things got crazed.

I woke up feeling ill, and didn't take long to realize that whatever bug has been going around has finally caught me. Still I managed to get on the road only a little later than I planned. Finished up almost everything on the list and had lunch while going over the spreadsheet. (Yes, if you are buying for 18 people, 4 of whom have birthdays within a fortnight of Christmas, you make a spreadsheet. But I digress.)

Made it to the supermarket where people had not yet resorted to stabbing each other over the last gallon of milk or loaf of bread, though undoubtedly barbarism set in as the storm drew nearer.

Came home and collapsed on the couch for a nap. Woke up, ran over to jennifer_dunne's house to give the cat a double ration of food and explained that spare human may be late tomorrow, depending on how the storm turns out. Latest forecast says our area should get 4-6 inches of snow mixed with sleet and rain, rather than the 12+ plus of pure snow originally forecast, but as usual we'll see what happens when it gets here. It's supposed to start any minute, so I'm firmly holed up in my cave, ready to wait it out.

Reading: Finished HEART OF STONE by C.E. Murphy, the first book in her new series. That's the second book this month, I'm on a roll!
