Snow day.

I hadn't realized how tightly wound I've been lately until my mother called to give me the news from her post-lumpectomy consultation, and it was good-ish, and suddenly, after a couple of weeks of feeling tongue-tied, I'm flooded with marginally interesting and entirely frivolous things to post. I haven't decided yet whether or not to put everything into one big, marginally interesting, entirely frivolous bullet-point post or a bunch of smaller marginally interesting, entirely frivolous individual posts, but I'll make my decision very soon, and in the meantime this deserves its own post:

My mother called this morning after her consultation, and she still has a few appointments to get through, but she is cancer-free. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
