snow day 2 in p-town

Hello again. Yup, day 2 of "the Snow". Portland has, like, 16 plows for the city, and no salt...only sand. The 2+" are now compacted to ice from all the people who HAD to drive yesterday. So, the city is shutdown again. No massages for daddy, no work for mom...no daycare for me. Dad and I started out the day reading and singing lotsa songs on the microphone and guitar. Dad put some effects pedals effects on my voice...sounded good and demonic. We did "Hard Day's Night" and "Yellow Submarine" about 5 times. Then we read again. Then mom got off the computer and harranged us into going downtown on the bus. I had my big boots and jacket on, a hat, gloves, my backpack with popsicle (my stuffed pug toy), my play egg, and my eye ball. I love to take stuff with me. My momma packed two bags o' snacks and I was ready. The bus was chained up, so what should have been a 30 minute ride was 50. Daddy gets really impatientsince he was holding me and I was whiny. We finally had burritos at ChaChaCha and I was better. I like to complain about stuff, and lately I like to complain about walking. About every 30 steps works well for me. I get picked up a few times here and there by mom or dad, but mostly I complain.

When we finally got back home after our 4 1/2 hour day just getting downtown and back, we had my auntie (by friendship) Charlotte over for dinner. I went to bed, but I am up later to write my blog. It appears from my searing lungs and burning eyes, not to mention the 2' of smoke in the house this evening that my mommy decided AGAIN to try and build a fire. Our chimney does NOT vent well...Let me repeat that...Our Chimney DOES Not Vent Well. 4 smoke detectors going off later and lots of laughing from mom and Charlotte (with LOTS of grumbling by dad), mom finally figured it out. She seems to forget every couple of weeks and tries again. Dad says it's real funny how optomistic people will keep trying anything.

Well, it's late and I should go back to bed. My bronchitis was doing better today, but I am not optomistic about tomorrow...see you at the hospital on the oxygen.
