More snow

Today it was snowing again, so the walkways that had been clear and almost dry all around our building are now covered with snow again - probably with hidden patches of ice beneath. Joy, joy - NOT! I'll have to go out today to buy some basic necessities. Which means I'll have to be extremely careful and slow; knowing that Mum will be biting her nails (with teeth she no longer has) because it will take me much longer than usual won't be helping. *sigh*

I started the day with finally washing my hair (something I've been postponing for the last three days). Then I baked savoury scones and cooked a thick potato cream soup, enriched with sliced sausages, sweet chili sauce and the rest of the egg I had spread the top of the scones with, all this for lunch. Enough for tomorrow's lunch but not a day longer, hence the need to do the shopping tomorrow when I won't have to cook.

After lunch I gave my friends Evie and Erna a call, which took almost an hour altogether. Then our neighbour - the only person talking even more than our chiropodist lady and presumably breathing through her ears, so that she wouldn't have to stop even for air intake - came over. And stayed. And stayed. And talked. And talked. When she finally left, Mum and I were both brain dead. So nothing else got done today. I mean, nothing in the way of actually enjoyable activities. *sigh* Some days are just like that.

I do hope you managed to get your shopping done without incident — and without worrying your Mum too much.

Thank you! I actually didn't get to enjoy my birthday at all, I had a stressful work day and then right after evening school, but to make up for that I've taken it slow today. I finally got to lay in bed until noon, that was so nice

That's good then!
You never told me about evening school, though. What are you studying?

Oh well, I said evening school, it's actually that I'm taking a couple of guest student courses for business administration at the local Fachhochschule. the course itself is online, but they have two in-person days for each class in the semester, and the in-person classes for two just happened to be yesterday afternoon/evening... just on the expected worst winter day this evening

Yipes! Please be careful on that ice. I was considering taking a walk for the first time in days, only to be presented with a sprinkling of snow this morning and obviously snow heavy clouds above. I hope your mum doesn't cause to much damage to her nails and wish you had stores that did grocery delivery over there.

Oh, we do have stores like that. I'm just too stupid to use their services!

I am always amused to hear about people talking non-stop, and that I am not the only one who has to cope with those...

Well, "funny" isn't the word I'd use describing it... 💩
