Hate the snow

[breakinglight11]

I am a ball of nerves right now thanks to the snow I just drove to work in. I was so nervous about being late today due to having to dig my car out that I woke up ridiculously early AGAIN, then tried to go back to sleep, only to have the slightly-earlier-than-normal alarm I set not go off. So I rushed out to unbury Constantine, which fortunately wasn't too difficult since the snow was still fluffy, and drove over terrifyingly slippery roads that sometimes I would slide over even when I braked. I really hope it quits by the time I'm supposed to go home, but it's still coming down like crazy and doesn't seem to be turning into rain like the weather report said it would. :-( I'm kind of afraid to drive in it again.

I really just want to go home, curl up under a blanket, and not come out until the snow stops. I want to eat that lovely brined and pan-fried pork chop in the fridge, and a cup of hot apple cider to go with it. This being out in the snow stuff is for chumps.

ETA: I just realized I got snow in my purse. Now all my stuff is wet-- thank God my phone wasn't in there --and the outside of the bag has a huge watermark. Oh, God, I hope the leather isn't ruined. I'm so pissed.

at least you've never been so noticeably freaked about driving uphill in the snow that an 8-year-old boy having a snowball fight with his younger brother in his front yard came toward your car, motioned for you to lower your window, and then said "ima help you out here. put your car in D2, and move your steering wheel back and forth while you drive..."

There's a weather proofing spray called Collonil that's leather-safe not too horribly expensive, with recommendations from a moderately fancy purse company - maybe something worth look into to prevent further water damage to your purse. I just ordered some today myself for some suede boots.

Good luck with driving - it seems to have turned solidly to rain by now in Waltham at least.

Thanks for the suggestion; I'll look into it.
