BUT IT'S FREEZING OUT
So, I thought no one complained more than me about the weather--about the cold, about the piles of snow that I have to traverse to walk to the bus stop or to give the dog a walk, about the slippery roads and the pants cuff-ruining slush.
What I didn't realize is that there are people who are even more out of touch with the realities of existing in the real world--and what a surprise, they're asking for things on Craigslist.

Snow and Helplessness
Feeling a little out of control this week! Over the weekend one of my cupboards was infiltrated by grain beetles. (EEEEWWWWWWWWW.) We are buried under a mass of snow (and recently named "worst snow city" in the country! aces!) plus the weather has knocked out my cable and internet since Monday.
Thus, this quotation that I read the other day feels particularly apt.
"An absolutely certain way in those days to draw down on one a wretched fate was to claim superiority in anything over any deity; nevertheless, people were perpetually doing so."
Edith Hamilton, Mythology
I get it, universe! Plagues, storms and deprivation have done their jobs. I AM YOUR PAWN. (Now can I have my cable and Internet back? I'm really wondering what happened on Lost.)
