Monday, January 26, 2004 Down with:
enthusiasm. Up with: thoughtful silence.
It snowed all day today, and as usual, the city was paralyzed. People abandoned the day's goals and plans in order cower indoors, away from areas of reduced traction.
Not I. My plan was to stay in the house in my pajamas anyway.
I called increasingly distant acquaintances about the cats. Everyone I know seems to have developed sudden allergies, but a couple of people said they might know someone who might possibly want a couple of cats.
I hope the snow (and ice, and sleet) doesn't interfere with the furniture pick-up on Tuesday. In hindsight, it may've been imprudent to schedule it for the last minute like that. On the other hand, it didn't seem worth it to live in a furnitureless house for the last week here.
A local thrift store is taking everything that we haven't already given away to various neighbors. Since the previous tenant kicked most of the stuff down to us anyway, it doesn't feel like a loss to get rid of it. Even if I had decided on a specific destination for after the dysentary study, it would probably be cheaper to get new (secondhand) furniture than to hire a truck and transport everything.
Oh, giant console TV and hideous loveseat, I hardly knew you.
