Melissa mentioned being jealous of all our snow. Melissa, I'd ship it off to you if I could. There's a guy down the road who stuck a sign in one of his drifts that says: FREE SNOW. :-)
LONG day yesterday ... DD and I didn't agree on a few things about school, like what it means to actually be "done" (yes, that means that your quiz AND your homework is finished) and how many times I should give her hints during a poem she was supposed to have memorized before we decided that it wasn't really memorized after all. There was much fussing and stomping of feet and "but, mom-ing".
Usually it's much easier, but our routine has been messed with this week with DH on jury duty (which means he's home a LOT more -- he leaves later and gets home earlier) and Wednesday with all the snow and DH home. I think it was Weds that really did it this time. Drama, drama, drama.
I'm in the midst of changing all my bank accounts to a new bank. Our old one started imposing fees on pretty much everything starting January 1st without any way to waive them (except having massive amounts of money with them ... uh, yeah, I'm going to keep my millions - ha - with you a 1 1/2% interest. Are rich people really that stupid?). It's SUCH a pain, though. With automatic deposits and payments set up and having to switch those and just all the other crap that comes with it. Thankfully, I've been able to do almost everything either online or via phone, so it's saved me many, many hours of running around.
Yesterday, I did not get any writing done, BUT -- and this was huge for me! -- I had an epiphany about the story and how to get through this painful part and on to the end. I swear, that moment at night when I'm laying in bed all half-asleep and dozy is the absolute BEST time for brainstorming. I think my brain is looser and more willing to think outside the box then. I wish I could simulate that during the day... I suppose I could do what Samuel Taylor Coleridge did when writing "Kubla Khan" (the poem was composed one night after he experienced an opium influenced dream), but I'll probably pass on that.
I have high hopes for writing today, provided DD keeps the drama to a minimum.

Okay .... I'm good with that.

I know what you mean about the bank, it is getting ridiculous at all the fees they want to put on us small depositors.
I hope you have less drama today.

I LOVE epiphanies. It makes life worth living again. LOL!
Ref: banks
I remember when they used to give 5% and shower you with gifts. Now I've got to pay them.
Thanks for thinking of me with the snow. LOL on the free snow!
Congrats on the epiphany. That more than makes up for words. Good luck translating it on to the page.
We are facing a similar situation with one back. Luckily only one auto payment comes out of that. We'd tried to keep my writing money separate in the beginning, but after we moved it got too difficult. Must close that other account soon!
Some banks are really too big for their britches, as the saying goes.
So far we've been lucky with our bank, but we're keeping an eye on our accounts thanks to what we're hearing about banking lately.
I understand your school drama. Son is driving me crazy this week.
Glad you were able to brainstorm a part of your story!
Your Dominant Personality Trait is Prudence
You are a responsible and together person. You like structures and schedules.
You don't mind having a long to-do list... in fact, you sort of like checking things off on it.
You are a planner, and you rarely act on impulse. You know what you'll be doing tomorrow.
You are dependable and polite. You do your best not to give anyone any trouble.
Very true. *g*
I hope you had a great day!
