I am super interested in what's involved with bedtime kitten reassurance.

There are days I would give my left nut for a plan folks could stick to

Especially if the plan involves you.

Well, the weather will be supercold, but the county my folks are in will get some snow/ice around 6 PM so timing is important

And knowing it would help.

Two of us are getting dropped off, at diferent spots

so it makes no sense NOT to go I suppose if one is going the other might as well

BUUUTT....

fifty miles north can make a big diff

BUUUT friend driving back might get caught in stuff regardles, though she's not worried... but again it depends on the time we leave

which I still have no clue on

SO with an ever closing window of what I consider safety... maybe, because the reports are varying... I'm on a hold pattern. Life happens I get it.

If I do decide not to go, my folks will understand BUUUT that means I have to go later in January and Christmas lasts even longer

So the ONE Certainty is I'm stressed the F out

Damned if you do, damned if you don't....

I need to stop whining and just roll with whatever. Sigh

Says who?

Says me. I'm being a burden to good friends who don't have the answers yet and that's not their fault.

Bedtime kitten reassurance meant some chin scritches and lots of pets, and making sure the dog was okay and some puffy cat and some barking and dog into mom's bedroom and kitten sure that it was safe to go exploring the upstairs...

Yes, the great cat dog war continues. Wags and barks, hisses and fluffs!

Yup

In the end, their humans must lose... or be amused.

Ahhhhh..... got it. You're a good mommy.

switching comps

we are trying to keep stress levels low

Christmas is cancelled

.... for the last three years.

Are you guys staying home, D?

I am. One Housemate may still go.

But it will shave time. And kicks my stress down the road.

Not a bad choice, D.

The stress WILL return.

always

but I'm just not feeling like freezing AND miserable at family event when I could wait, and be warm and miserable later in Jan

Smart!

I hope my Housemate doesn't think this shows a lack of faith in her driving abilities

I'm sure she doesn't; you said she -might- go, which is to say she's considering if the weather and all is something she wants to be part of. Nothing to do with her driving.

Oh, one House mate was dropping off another AND myself. 😮 sorry, gets complicated

Ah.

and TN doesn't have great snow infrastructure, nu?

We once had a city that SOLD all it's road salt to Nashville because 'they would never need it'... a month later, one of the rare and hardest ice storms hit that area.

Because cutting costs is ALWAYS smart :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Also, while my friend is actually pretty good on snow... as a rule, TN drivers are terrible on ice and snow. We don't get much practice on it is part of it, but we suck in conditions that would have an Ohion shrugging

ydah

And Minnesotans mock cruelly... well, as cruel as minnesotans get 😉

Yahsure.

We shall see how it goes.

OR maybe not. We shall see
