* So here's the deal. I've been shaky since Saturday. Maybe I'm sick. Maybe it's system strain. *shrugs* It's a thing that happens and is beyond my control. I did forage and do a co-op things restock, Monday, which turns out to have been a really wise decision even though it completely thrashed me, because today, when I pulled myself out of bed after crappy sleep due to way to many political spam and scammer calls, it was snowing fast and hard and had started to stick. I had two days left of a crucial thing I use everyday and was meaning to go get it after forage today. If it was really going to snow like that, pretty much needed to go then or not at all until things melted. It was early enough I gambled on there being enough time to do a run out and back. I skipped forage and gas, since I had enough left with margin. It kept snowing until after dark. If it stays, we're going to be all right.

Tuesday's rescheduled phone bureaucracy was more like two plus hours, but it went well, I think. I'll know better in a week or two.
