I was greatly disappointed this morning. I fully expected to open the blinds and gaze out upon a snowy white lawn, with snow clinging to the trees and adorning the roofs of our neighbors homes. Four inches, ideally, but one or two in a pinch. Instead: nada. The Houston area got predominantly freezing rain instead of snow. Cars that were left outside overnight were coated with a thin layer of ice, but the streets were mostly dry. I don’t have to cross any bridges/overpasses on my way to work, so the way was clear. Many, many accidents and closed roads elsewhere around the city, and a lot of people weren’t able to make it into the office because of the road conditions outside of the community. I know this isn’t a popular opinion among those who have been getting hammered with snow this year, but I was heartily disappointed. I’ll get over it. Eventually.

Instead of writing this morning, I worked on financial matters. Mostly getting ready to do taxes. Installed TurboTax last night and got a start on things today, but I’m still waiting on a few forms from one source. I pat myself on the back each year for diligently recording all writing expenses and income in Microsoft Money so I can simply run a report, transfer the data into TurboTax and that part’s done. Easy peasy.
It was good seeing William Petersen back on CSI this week, even if only by video chat from Peru. Also funny to meet his mother and to see her interactions with Sara. And Marlee Matlin was a welcome guest star, too, as the prime suspect who has a past with Grissom.
