The snow was falling a little bit when I left the house this morning. I saw some from my office window but then it just stopped. A little after lunch it started again. It went from light to heavy, to light back to heavy. Finally it was bad enough that we got the word around 3 that if we had concerns about getting home that we could leave. Hell I didn’t have concerns other than I knew everyone would be trying to commute home at 5pm and why wait, when I got a free pass to go now.
It was a little bit of a challenge and I was going slower than normal but I made it home safe, I’m not sure about the sound part. Anyway, I noticed that as I got closer to home the worse things got. My subdivision hadn’t been plowed and was very slick. Of course the plow comes through after I had pulled in the garage. I almost ran into the truck in the process of getting into the driveway.
The forecast is saying that it will snow all night long up until about 5am. We are looking at around 8 inches last I heard. I will see if I can’t get an update before bed. I think I will be working from home tomorrow, but I won’t swear to it. A lot depends upon how much actually falls and what shape the roads are in and if I get any directives from work. They always wait until the last minute to say anything. I know that the place will be a skeleton crew if I do wind up going in.
Not exactly sure what is wrong with me but I am overly tired. Happened last night and I went to bed early. Got a decent sleep but woke up in the middle of the night a couple times. Strange dreams again. I’ve been tasked with reading a deposition transcript and I find it interesting. There is more arguing going on between the attorneys than there was testimony. In any event, I think that task might have something to do with the fact that I am a little sleepy.
I did the looking on the taxes. Turns out I can keep the first $750 if my partner gets a refund. Anything over that I have to turn over. I have a priority claim against the Estate as the Surviving Spouse for $10,000.00. I thought about it and while I could fight about turning over the extra money, it would be better in the long run to give it to the Bankruptcy court because it will get credited to his account and bring us even closer to the magic number. Meaning that if there is enough money to talk about, I could be done with Bankruptcy sooner rather than later. That is good but it won’t pay my bills. I’m the one that needs the money to stay afloat. Depending upon what kind of time I have I might be able to get preliminary figures this weekend. Taxes take a lot of concentration and that takes a lot out of me. Plus this year I am totally on my own, no one to double check things or remind me that you have to send this with that, etc.
Said it before and I will say it again and again and again. I sure do miss him. He was my everything and by that I mean he was integrated into every part of my life. I started the day out by waking him up. I called him when I was done with lunch. I sometimes called on the way home, I did call if I was going to be late. Then we would sit down at the table and enjoy our meal. I would be stuck with clean up and would bitch about it. Then we would go our separate ways for a little bit. I would come up and start on litter box duty and prepare to wind down. We would talk before I went to bed, say our goodnights and that would be the end to a typical week day evening.
I haven’t done anything else with the book. Perhaps it’s time to go back to it. That helped put me in a different place. I kind of feel like I need a good cry. He always hated to see me cry and it would make him cry because I was sad. This part of life is far from easy but I will hopefully get through it.
Well my hour that I allowed myself has passed. I should get back up with the children and get out of these clothes that are so uncomfortable. Go watch some TV and prepare to wind down. Today went pretty fast and was an easy day. I can only hope for easy and fast moving days. In fact that is actually what I pray for each morning. Some days I get my wish and others I don’t.
Stay warm, be safe and may the odds be ever in your favor. I stole that last tag line from Joey Graceffa (a vlogger on You Tube). He’s hot, go check him out.
