Batgrl: Bookish Hooha

I haven't tried sharing photos in here for a while - is it still cranky about uploading certain sizes? Because I want to share photos! Now that I've asked - a winter storm update from my area:

So on Friday a friend/coworker noted that I was probably going to be stuck wherever I was after Friday and might it be a good idea to come crash at her house? Yes, yes it would be. And so here are two before and after photos I put on tumblr. Her husband spent a good 5 hrs today clearing sidewalks and stairs to house, and then part of the driveway. Will dig out his car tomorrow. But none of us will be going anywhere because there's about 2 ft of snow in the street outside the house and the snowplows might not make it into our area by Monday. Now my apartment is next to a major road, so that'd have been plowed out - but I'd have had to walk to the stores and the bus - so I'm still better off here. Plus we have enough food. It's kind of like a vacation. 

Work is closed Monday anyway. And who knows about Tuesday?! (Down side is that I'm on contract to finish by a certain date, so that'll have to be worked out. But I'm working very hard on not stressing about that.)

So I have oodles of ebooks all ready - but I have not been reading them just in case we had a power outage. It seemed a good plan to play video games until the power did it's thing (it loves going off in this area) and then I'd have my fully juiced ereader to go to. (Yay backlighting.) And then have one paper book, just in case. Only it appears we may have missed having power problems - maybe I shouldn't have typed that out yet though...

Ok, now going to play with photos in another post to test things...
