snow day
Oh, that's really funny, I forgot to make an LJ entry about yesterday.
Right, so we woke up around 9am to find Seattle cloaked in something like 4-6 inches of SNOW!
That much snow never happens here, so I was like "great, I think I'll go back to sleep," and so I did. Got up again around 11am and there was still more SNOW!
So I spent the afternoon doing some reading I needed to do for work, doing some more work on redoing all my stuff on the new hard drive, and I made more Mac&Cheese, gotta get rid of the older boxes of it, and at some point![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mh75 and pauldf came by, having met up randomly walking around Greenlake. I realized, "hey, Paul has an Amazon connection at home," so a few hours later I went to Paul's house and I finished up some stuff and sent it to my boss. Ahh, I really hope I can get set up with a dial-in account or something soon. It just happened to be luck that Paul lives two blocks away and coincidence that he visited.
PP after that, but I will spare you the details. I got my Long December gown after 2.5 weeks. Yay.
So, now it's morning and Eli wants me to drive both of us to work so we can go to Eastlake afterwards... wish me luck, hopefully I won't die on the way. I've never driven in snow before, and I doubt Seattle's the right place to learn.

Re: Brakes still work
I've found with my car that if I'm trying to pull out of parking and the wheels are spinning, drive is geared way too much toward quick pickup to get the low-speed control I need and it's a lot smoother in 2nd. I think that's an automatic-transmission thing; I've gotten a lot of people spinning in snow or mud moving by dropping them out of drive long enough to get forward motion. 1st may well be going too far the other way, though.
