my god this morning is too much already

[unicornduke]

it's 9:30 am and it has:

1. snowed 5 inches instead of the 1.5 predicted and it's still snowing
2. I dropped my phone and the screen is black, so I'm now on my backup phone while I hopefully can send it out to be fixed
3. someone drove her car into the ditch in front of the house. she's okay, was able to climb out of the passenger seat. now there's a trooper sitting in the driveway with his lights on and the girl's friend parked in the yard while they wait for a tow truck to come and get the car out of the ditch

I have not packed anything and I will need to clear the driveway again once everyone leaves so I think I might not be leaving for my parents until tomorrow. the roads are absolute trash right now, which I wasn't expecting. we are right around the corner from the town plow storage so usually our road is cleared pretty well, but damn it's bad driving. I checked some of the highway traffic cams and those are fully plowed, so this is just a problem for us I guess

I brought the girl inside while we waited for the trooper to come so she could stay warm because it's chilly out there.

ETA: my stomach is upset and I didn't fully eat breakfast

Double ETA : there's interpersonal nonsense and the person who is her emergency contact has a stay away on him and the cop won't let her leave with him so the two of us are in the house and the guy left while a different friend comes to get her

final eta: the first tow truck got a flat tire on the way here, so second tow truck took a bit to arrive. tow truck guy pretty easily popped it sideways out of the ditch, which was pretty impressive and now finally everyone is gone out of my driveway at 11am

Drama, drama.
You definitely shouldn't be out there driving.

Oh my, that's a rough start to the holiday season. I hope that this is all the challenges you have, and you just... got them out of the way at the front. Safe travels, and I hope the weather improves.

A clearer indication that the whole of today is cursed for travel purposes would be highly undesirable.

I hope things are much improved tomorrow and that you're taking the extra day at home.

Just what you needed this morning, I’m sure! I’m glad it all worked out and they got out of your space.

Wow she needs to update her emergency contact. Bad deal.

Wow. That was a morning all right!

Hope you get on your way safely and timely, and arrive safely and timely!
