Snow, Snow, and More Snow
I was supposed to be going home today. Well, to my parent’s house anyway. But the snow sort of spoiled that plan, as did my parent’s broken down van. In truth, I am glad they didn’t come. Because I have no idea how I would’ve maneuvered Pumpkin (my power chair) into the van in so much snow. Last I check it was still snowing although according to the weather channel, it was supposed to stop 19 minutes ago.
Ivy and I have train tickets for tomorrow. And come hell or high water, I am departing Massachusetts before the 24th of December. I don’t plan to spend Christmas with just myself, my assistant, and not even my cat. He’s at the cat sitter. That’s just too depressing an idea. My mom says that if I can’t get the train tomorrow she’ll bother the mechanic to fix our van until he does. And if know him, he will. It’s easier to restructure your life than to tangle with my mother when she wants something. Trust me. So I would say the odds of one disabled person and one assistant making it to Pennsylvania by Wednesday at the latest are about 99.5%.
