shut it down

what usually happens in vancouver when it snows? the city practically shuts down. this is day 2 of snow. i think there are supposed to be 4 days. the city roads were way better today, and there wasn't much traffic, but it was still a close the town kinda thing.

i worked for an hour and a half today, and then drove to hope. my mom went back to the hospital today. holy crap. the road from surrey to chilliwack was horrible. there were white-outs, and about 30 overturned vehicles on the side of the road. the wind was brutal. i even saw an suv in the middle ditch with a turned over u-haul trailer. it was nuts. but the way home was easy-sleazy. earlier they were just starting to plow. i'm surprised the highway wasn't closed, but happy it wasn't, so i could see my mom.

i finished the first crime tape from the maruis. the generator is up and running at my house, so there's heat and electricity. yahoo! those things equal food, warmth and entertainment. and not doing dishes by candlelight.

two days left at guildford! (if you don't count packing up. if you do... maybe 4 days left). i will be back to cleaning, cooking and designing after that gig is over... i'm so sick of surrey, and the drive. i'll be so happy to get out of there. okay, so that comment doesn't really follow my "try to be positive" attempts, but it's a work in progress. one can't expect instant results!
