Put on the shorts, sunglasses and take off the shoes... no snow here.
Just the brilliant sunshine and temps in the low 80's.
Sheesh. I wish it would rain. And get cold. 

last evening projection was 3"-4"....we got over 19".  the model missed slightly. 
going to wait a bit to dig out...hoping my neighbor with plow does me a solid. 

Shovel snow - several inches overnight.

🌨️ ❄️ 🥶

How did it go?

Interview two of the three final executive assistant candidates for our director.

Day 2, hiding in my basement.

Go to a City Board of Adjusters meeting to get a variance for an 8 ft (instead of the code ok-d of 6ft) fence. Neighbors are 3 feet from property line and have security cameras installed under their eaves. I can see the cameras from a bedroom and bathroom. For six years I've lived with feeling watched and didn't know what else to do. My fence contractor (very reputable company) just neglected to mention I would need a special permit. These things happen. Neighbors called codes within a day of installation.
It's likely I'll get the variance - considering the circumstances, but for two whole months and $400 this has been hanging over my head. Waiting in a city government lobby, hour after hour, afraid to go to the bathroom because they may call your name, is not my idea of a fun afternoon.    A wee bit of schadenfreude however; my neighbor owns a construction company and found out he built his house too close to the property line, which is a code violation far worse than a fence.   

Up at 330am to make waffle batter from scratch and then make the annual birthday waffles (cut into the shape of his age: 32) for my boy before he flew out at 7a. Haven't skipped a year and I damned sure wasn't going to miss it. Now I'm gonna go lay in a bed and die.
