When all else fails, talk about the weather

After the warm snap here in Toledo finally broke a couple of weeks ago, we've been getting snow on a fairly regular basis. The strange thing is that these snows are always just dustings, though, and it takes quite a few of them to get us to the point where there's any serious snow on the ground. Today we got up to 37 degrees, and that just melted everything away. Not that dustings are unusual up here, but usually we'd at least have one two-inch snowfall here or so as a "base," and the fact that we haven't had a serious snowfall yet is kind of strange. This pattern is even supposed to continue at least for the next ten days, too, if not longer.
The cold weather finally caught up with me personally when I went out to do some grocery shopping last night, only to find that the Camry's battery had lost its charge. I've been staying home as much as possible lately, trying to avoid spending money whenever I can, and as a result the Camry's not getting the exercise it should. I'm just glad that this happened when I had one of the folks' minivans to drive as a backup; this could have happened when I didn't have a backup, and with something really important, like a job interview, hanging in the balance.
Speaking of job interviews, I still don't have any coming up here. Don't even ask what this is doing to me inside.
