Answer :

Our west coast storm completely petered out last night and I woke up to sunshine and freezing temps. I am off work until Monday and am sitting at my living room window fluthering right now and having my last cup of coffee at 9:59 a.m. Today is a cozy house mouse day and I am still recovering from my crazy, busy, 1st half of the week.
