and still trapped...

 No school again tomorrow, that makes a full week. A colleague from another department (I am on a committee with him, we were supposed to meet tomorrow) warned us not to come up to campus, that the lots are very bad and he got stuck in his car today

We DID have a lot of melt today and I thought of running down to Green Spray (I am going to open my last half-gallon of milk tomorrow, and we're supposed to get more bad weather this weekend). If it seems like the roads are clear enough midafternoon tomorrow, I will try to get out there and at least get some milk (if they have it) and bread (whatever kind they have)

I likely had a bit of food poisoning this past week,  I never get very sick with it but I did have the abdominal cramps and nausea and loss of appetite. It finally came back today but there are only certain things I want to eat, and I'm getting low on some things. And I would really like some fresh fruit, I'm out. 

 

I'm not sure I'm brave enough for Pruett's, that would take going on one of the main roads, but if there is no acceptable milk at Green Spray, I might try,  they're the next nearest place. 

I'm not expecting much; we are at the end of the distribution chain, there was a semi pileup on 75 yesterday, and I remember from 2020 how bad it could get with shortages. 

And yeah, with the "stuck inside," this does feel a bit like 2020 all over again. 

I've been reading more on "After the Ice Age" and today I knit some on the neverending blanket. I laid it out on the floor to try to get a full photo of it

 The greenish plastic thing on it is a 9" sock ruler, for scale. You can see it's quite large. And I'm still not that close to done with it yet. 

I do want to get it done some time.

 

Also, Bluesky has been down for me all evening. I hope it comes back; I hope the site isn't either taken down, or somehow blocked from my state (I know Mississippi was blocking it for a while, to "protect children").. When I'm alone with no one to talk to - and have been alone ALL week - you do notice its absence. I hope it's back soon. Normally the outages are not this long, which concerns me.
