Minor freak-out approaching

[soc_puppet]

I'm sorry I've been so lax with answering comments and stuff the past couple of weeks, and I don't know when it'll get better T-T I've just been kinda hoping it will so far, but it could be that my subconscious is just telling me I need a break from talking to people or something. I'll get back on track as soon as I can, so please bear with me until then! ;_;b

In the mean time, I just have to freak out a little bit here, because SNOW. IN MY CITY. RIGHT NOW. BEFORE HALLOWE'EN. THIS IS NOT RIGHT, THIS IS NOT RIGHT AT ALL.

OhGod I was hoping to get in a little practice driving a bus in the snow before I have to actually deliver children under such conditions, please let it be all gone tomorrow morning, please please please DDD:

Where are you? It's not uncommon for it to snow in late October up here in Minnesota.

...Ooh, schoolbus driving. Well, that explains it. Just go fairly slowly and allow yourself a lot of stopping time. It may very well not stick, too, since it's so early.

Southeastern Iowa :/ We don't usually get snow until November, to the best of my recollection.

Sadly, part of my route is on the interstate DD: It's not a part where I've got kids on the bus, thank the powers that be, but I've still got myself and my associate to worry about, not to mention any other vehicles that may get in the way if the worst should happen. *knocks on wood* Hopefully it won't stick, but if it does, I guess I'll just have to apply myself accordingly.

Well, if it does stick, and there are other people on the road, you're going to want to make extra sure to be careful and leave space. The first snow of the season always seems to freak people out a little bit.

Actually, there's a traffic report up here my mother likes to listen to, and whenever it's snowy, the weatherman reminds people to be careful on "bridges, ramps, and loops." So keep that in mind. :)

Send the snow our way!

Everstar3 has some good advice. Go easy, leave lots of room between you and the car in front of you and, most importantly, don't panic.

Soon as I find a team of waterbenders, I'm sending you the snow and a good deal of our rain. DO NOT WANT MOAR FLOODINGS.

I tend to do that anyway (ohgod, tailgating people makes me so freaked out >_< ), but extra can't hurt. I'm just wishing this stupid cough would go away so I could do my deep breathing properly again :/

Duuude, that'd be awesome.

Have you tired a tablespoon of honey in a cup of lemon (herbal) tea? It did wonders for my last cold on soothing my throat. Fact is, doctors are saying honey is probably about as good for you as cold medicine out there when it comes to soothing a throat.

No I have not yet! :O I have been dutifully taking honey-lemon cough drops, even though I find the taste abhorrent. I may have to eat more plain honey, though ;)

Nothing wrong with plain honey. Personally, I like to take a spoon and pour the honey into it and then eat it. YUM! Then I might repeat that again. Straight honey is good for the soul.
