Well, it’s finally stopped snowing sometime in the night. Hopefully, now the town will actually start to dig out. I asked the part time retiree that works with us, who’s also on the town council why they haven’t started plowing the town. He didn’t know why they hadn’t started. (Yesterday afternoon). But according to my weather app, we had over a foot of snow in 24 hours.

It’s a heavy wet, Rhode Island snow. It was a bitch to shovel at work, and I’m not really looking forward to shovelling my walkway. But we’ll deal with that later. I’m hoping that it’ll warm up quick enough, that I don’t really have to do too much.

Maybe that’s wishful thinking. But I’ll take it.

So I get a text from my mom yesterday morning, asking if I could help her with her big cat. Phoebe. Phoebe is a large girl, and over the last week, has had some blood in her urine, and isn’t eating too much. I helped my mom take her to the vet. She got weighed, and officially is 25lbs. I was playing with the vets cats, and my mom asked if I would like her to post on the towns bulletin board asking for a kitten for us. I said sure. Within an hour or two, I had a couple of texts from people with orange kittens. One was 7 months old, and the second one was 6 weeks old. I replied to the text with the 6 week old kitten. Tomorrow, we’ll be heading to a local farm, to take a look at the little guy.

Pippin could have a tiny brother by noon tomorrow. Crystal has been telling her all about the new little guy. Pictures soon.

Coffee first.

Good morning my snowy friends. Yeppers, it’s snowing out there, just like they said it would be. It looks like we’re going to get a little less that forecasted, and shortly, it’ll stop for a few hours. Then it’ll start up again.

Last night shift was difficult. I spent a good 2.5 – 3 hours outside on a long rush of people. I was cold. But yes, I’m dressed correctly for being outside for 5-10 minutes at a time, not 3 hours. So it was a long cold evening. We were both very happy when it was time to finally close. The morning shift managed to handle 67 customers from 6-1:15. From 1:15 to 9pm we handled over 150 customers. There were two of us, and the morning shift had 3 people. So yeah, there’s a bit of a balance issue.

Meh.

But today I have a day off. That’s nice, because that’s to the snow and the expected winds tomorrow, I’m opening the store instead of being the mid shift guy. So I’ll be getting up sometime in the night to open the store. Woot woot.

Good times. In other news, it doesn’t look that bad out there so if my package comes in today, I may go and pick it up. We’ll see.
