It's been snowing hard here since the 10th. My brother, poor guy, fell in the driveway while shoveling and hurt his back. He healed. This morning, he was trying to do laundry, but the machine ate his coins and didn't turn on; so he walked through blizzard-like conditions to exchange his money for loonies to give it another shot, but when he got back everything was frozen; the pipes, the water. He is just having a shitty week!
He's out there shoveling again, but it's no use. Every time he turns his back, the snow covers up what he cleared.
And it gets worse. The store is out of some things and low on other things, and the delivery men refuse to come out here. And even if they did, we can't afford anything at all. Frozen bodies have been pulled out of very local ditches. And I'm afraid, because the people who built this house were really stupid and all of my plug-ins are under a window covered by plastic that, I'm sure, is gathering a lot of moisture.
I think I'll go unplug everything and then make sure my brother can have a hot coffee.
