Ever take a workaholic, lock them in a house by dumping snow and ice all over a city that can't cope with it, shut down almost all interstates, and then say, "You're stuck until Saturday."?
Let me tell you.
It isn't pretty.
I understand The Shining so much better now.
Oh. My. God. People.

Date: 2011-01-11 05:30 pm (UTC)It got so bad that I actually volunteered to walk the mile to the store and back though snow drifts even a Yeti would avoid just to get her a pack of cigarettes. I figured that the risk of hypothermia was slightly less than the risk of mass homicide that the nicotine withdrawals would cause.
I ended up with pneumonia, but I still say it was worth it.
Stay warm and (try to) stay sane!
