Day 2 of steady slushy snow in Vancouver. I left the house only briefly today to slip and slide my way down the hill to the Safeway on Cardero to get groceries. Uggh. I hate Safeway. Why does it feel so much more manufactured than other grocery stores? The apples are too shiny. There are too many boxes of cereal. Etc. But it's close and it's snowing. 'Nuff said. I was rewarded for my efforts by getting 10% off any purchases I make at Safeway for the rest of the month. Which will, if I have my way, equal...zero. So...yay.
It's Currie Kitten's first snow. She's been alternating sitting on the windowsill to watch the branches on the trees in front of our apartment become slowly frosted with snow, and sitting on the laptop keyboard to get warm. The thing is, it's not a FUN snow. It's not the kind of snow where you go out with your friends and throw snowballs and act like kids again. It's not the kind of snow that leaves a hush over everything, masking the din of the city. It's more the gee-my-feet-are-kinda-cold-and-the-hems-of-my-jeans-are-soggy type snow. Sigggh.
I hope this cold snap doesn't last too long. I'm getting cabin fever, which combined with Sunday malaise, is not great for morale. Somebody come and whisk me away to balmier climes, wilya?
