Fell down 18 icy steps as I left home to pick up my daughter, the following 2 mile walk was agony.
Now at home in pain as everything hurts like a mo-fo.
the steps are pretty much solid with snow and ice and the only way in and out of my home. damn. At least it was me and not one of the kids.
Get some sand and spread it generously on the steps. You'll end up with mud once it melts but at least it'll be walkable until then.

Speaking of falling down… I fell THREE TIMES yesterday. I'm so fucking tired at times, I can't keep my balance and with all the snow and ice that's a surefire way to hug the concrete.
Also, TWO BUSES BROKE ON ME YESTERDAY! (it's after midnight and I just woke up so yesterday)
First the one to work, the kind that's double lenght and connected by this rubber sleeve. It drove into a pile of snow with its right back wheels and couldn't go either way. Luckily the next bus picked us up so we managed to get to work. Although BARELY. But then six other people I work with (out of a team of 15) did not get through at all (one arrived two hours late, the rest probably got stuck in smaller towns and villages where simply NO BUSES managesd to get through for the whole day).
On the return trip, about thirdof the way through the bus stops and the driver goes outside to check stuff. And then he reports through the radio that he has NO BREAKS! He kept on going for two more bus stops, before we got to the area with heavier city traffic, then dumped us all on the bus stop and told us to wait for a replacement one. Ugh.

Anyway, two good news. My Moebius books arrived awhile ago and they were GREAT. Now I got my
PHILIPPE DRUILLET book, Lone Sloane/Delirius. And man, for something printed in the 70s? It looks in good shape! Too bad the american edition is shrunk down to Heavy Metal format, not full A4. But eh, everything's better than nothing!
