Hip deep in snow.

Literal description of what we were as we walked out of our place to the T.

Still, not that difficult to get around, as long you're not driving.

And have boots. Mine, sadly, are 100 miles due west of here. *sigh*

True.

You're in town? How long are you here for?

[identity profile] bookly.livejournal.com 2005-01-23 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Till tomorrow morning. But I'm stuck in Arlington -- E&J's shoveler hasn't come, and I have no boots. :(

Well, I'm in Somerville; I have a 11AM eye appointment in Waltham but thus far that's my only commitment for today, and I still need to call them to verify the eye doctor actually came in.

Ah. Sadly, I need to get back as soon as I shower, pack, make a few calls, and convince J or E to drive me to Alewife so I can reclaim my car. (I may have some other errands in town, but of the drive over, grab something, and leave variety.) The problem is that the term starts on Wednesday, and I have a LOT of stuff I need to do to get ready (shoveling out a parking space, laundry, food shopping, filing, sorting, buying candy for the department, finishing this damned UN report...)

(In fact, if I'd had any sense, I would have high-tailed it out of town around noon on Saturday. :)

So, this was sort of my way of offering you a ride to Alewife after my eye appointment. :)

Oh, I see! Thank you. :) I hope to be gone by then... on the other hand, E&J aren't up yet, so... we'll see. Sadly, my cell phone is dead, so if you want to call when you're done, please call the house. :( Sorry...

And if you're not real short. A lot of drifts around here in Allston look like they would be at least waist-high for me.

Oh, they are. Hip/waist deep for me, but the snow's pretty fluffy and thus not too bad to walk through.

But staying indoors isn't a dumb idea, either. :)
