Odd Working Hours

· · 🌡️ 34°F

2am last night, and some pickup truck was plowing snow along the north half of Lexington and the sidewalk in front of The Place. I'm all for snow removal and got quite used to it growing up (my house growing up was on a 4-lane major thoroughfare in Minot, ND, that had to be plowed regularly), but I'm really not used to someone going back and forth and back and forth for what seemed like 30-40 minutes. I figured it was a one-shot (maybe two) deal and it was plowed, amirite? Oh well, I managed to sleep through the plows during daylight this morning after the parking ordinance switched sides on Ashland. I swear, I really could sleep through (once I am asleep) a tornado or something comparable if I was really stuck in that situation again.

Thankfully the plague that is my non-sterile sinuses stayed under wraps, without antibiotics no less! However, due to the causative nature present at tailgating/watching the Bills home game against the Patriots, I'm considering rescinding my attendance to the Colts game this Sunday. I still have an in to it with friends, but I'm at a loss of how to prevent my sinuses from being overrun again. I'm still clearing out the last of the residual drainage; it's no longer than vile yellow/green as the infection was setting in.

One of my best friends from the MN/ND area where I went to college was supposed to try and come up for this weekend (her boyfriend was flying out for work-related travel for 5 days). Unfortunately, she turned riotously ill with something that left her retching all night and in no shape to drive this morning. So alas, those NYE plans are a wash. I was just invited to go to the party at Queen Victoria Park over in Ontario tonight, but those sinus-issues don't have me inkling to stand in the cold (and potentially rainy) weather for 3-4 hours. Nor amongst 30000+ people. I'm not much of one for big parties (like just 30-40+ people), let alone over 9000.

I saw (and was recommended by @tinypliny) the invite for NYE at the 24. I'm undecided if I want to go meet a bunch of strangers yet, but that's my only feasible social option for the holiday (all my other friends are basically out of town or elsewhere for the holiday break, except Mr.-Queen-Victoria-Park-Party).

In other news, my overnight digest (or recovery) completely consumed my plasmid. Time to go figure out where it went and/or digest a fresh batch!

    For meeting a group of strangers, this is the easiest group to meet. I showed up for the 2008 Halloween party only knowing the e:peeps virtually. It was and still is well worth it. Please join us! I've been looking forward to meeting you.

    Yes, we are very scary and you should be scared. You have probably seen us on the streets everyday but together we are like sea anemones or maybe Portuguese men O' war and some of us like Whitney Houston.

    I live down the street from you! Plowing sounds are annoying, but just be glad you don't regular hear the goings on at our neighbor's house! Or maybe you already have ....

    Are you referring to that "party" house just to your east, or whatever it is that had the fire department show up a night or two ago? It looks like a 4-unit rental house from the doors on the front (it's something like 253 or 255 I think).

    Sounds like a bunch of college kids living there, from the drunken hoots and hollers late into the night.

    Oh, yeah, that house is annoying too.
