Jan. 29th, 2026 11:35 am Thanks for the warm welcomes back, I appreciate it. It's nice to put my thoughts somewhere.
Being in Virginia, we were in the path of the big snowstorm. We got fully iced in with about 8 inches. I have a Soviet WWII trench shovel (long story) that i have been using to crack the ice and go outside, but it can be dangerous still.
This morning we found that when the power was out for 8 hours due to the storm, our freezer broke. We plugged it in and out, but last I checked it wasn't cooling and just making clicking noises. Simultaneously when I was digging last night, we saw that someone skidded out on our road and bumped into our car. No note, of course. So we are bugging Progressive and calling a repair guy. It was nice to snowed in (and then iced in) but I'm pretty pissed that two expensive things break in tandem with to a direct correlation to the snowstorm.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrgdgsff
I want to post more pictures here but DW does not allow me to host much, and the picture uploading / messing with process is a pain in the ass. What do people use for image hosting? I got back into gouache painting and want to show off.
