The wind is wild. I’m in NorCal, but in the valley so I don’t have to worry about snow. I can’t believe how long it’s been so windy. It feels like a Midwest storm, but it’s too cold to worry about tornados. I’m curious to see how many trees/branches are on the ground tomorrow.

I really think this is one of the secrets to successfully keeping up with household chores as an adult. After I started focusing on cleaning up when I could while cooking and saw how much easier it made my life later, I started noticing stuff that’s quick and easy to put away/clean while just walking through the house on my way to do something else. Doing little things all the time instead of saying “Oh I’ll clean that up later” and leaving everything as a big project was a switch in mindset that’s helped me a lot.

YES. I’m also having backspace problems.

Does everyone just stay home and things shut down when it’s that cold?

You can’t really call Harvey a small town. It’s part of the Chicago (sub)urban sprawl, and a pretty bad area.

This is what I want the article to actually be about.
