I Don't Swear

I don't swear (often), but when this emergency message just popped up on my computer, all I could say was, "oh shit!"

Due to this impending version of "Snopocalypse II," I had to cancel my doctor's appointment scheduled for Wednesday to get a cast on my leg. Who knows, it may be summer solstice before the snow and ice melt enough for me to get back to the doctor's office.

Life is short: and with these ongoing storms, it may be shorter! Arrrgggh!
