Hai beachmates
Lawsy, what a day it was yesterday

I worked Mon night and during the early morning hours we got an 'unpredicted' snow. They had said we might have a 'few flurries'. It was more than that. and lasted well into the morning (around 10am). What was weird was that the roads were more covered than the grass

I mean, the roads were slick as chit! I had a dentist appt for my broken filling. Dentist is on some backroads from work. So I drove 20mph to dentist.
Had to get a crown

I wasn't really expecting it, and had not 'prepared' myself mentally. My nerves were tore up! No sleep, treacherous drive, then a crown!
Then had to drive home from dentist on roads that were awful!! It took me about an hour and 15 min to get home, a trip that usually takes 20-25 minutes. On the road near my house, there were a couple of trucks slid in to ditches and people stopped near them. They were close enough together that I was afraid to try to scoot between them (going slightly downhill, in a curve, on slick roads). FINALLY somebody came and pulled them out and I was able to get home. I was shaking like a leaf by the time I got home. Not really from fear… just from ALL of it
Then had to go back to work last night. Before I left, I noticed a cat had peed on the bed
And my laptop started acting up
This morning, my laptop would not even start up. And the cat had peed on the bed… again.
I was able to start up in a 'force' start mode and get the disk utilities to repair the hard drive (which was corrupted for some reason??

). I have restarted a couple of times. It is still acting sluggish, but at least will start.
I told DH that if I couldn't get it working right, we ARE going to get a new one. I told him it is 'a necessity of life'
Oh, and we owe over $3K in taxes
