An ambulance comes barrelling toward me and like a good driver I come to a halt to let him get past with plenty of options.  Except, he comes to a halt too &#8211; about 2 car lengths away.  We both sit there for a moment &#8211; me, trying to figure out what to do and him sitting there with all lights and sirens blazing.  Finally, totally perplexed, I start to move forward.  He waits until I&#8217;m clear, then turns into the driveway that I was ironically blocking.  He might have had a turn signal on, but with all the rest of the lights going I couldn&#8217;t tell.  Bizzare.<\/p>\n<p>And then when I got to work, I can&#8217;t park more than halfway into a space since the snow plows did a poor job of clearing the snow.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, I talked to Mom and my grandmother last evening.  Mom is trying to plan for my upcoming birthday &#8211; and pretty much talking about me coming down after the actual date.  Which is quite a bit differnt from what I thought we had planned &#8211; that being that they would come up for a visit before my birthday.
