Slippery when wet

We are in the middle of a winter storm.  It started snowing around 9:30a this morning and it’s supposed to continue for the bulk of the day.  We are expected to have more tomorrow.  I think the Monday morning commute will be interesting at best.  I’ll make sure to get up a little early and see if I’ll be going in or working from home.  I don’t want to break my neck but I also don’t want to be all holed up because of a few flakes of snow.  I do realize that people lose their minds and forget how to drive in weather like this, which is the only reason why I would stay home.  If your careful, drive slow and watch your surroundings then chances are really good you will be fine. 

I am listening to the scanner and there are all sorts of accidents.  I heard a foot pursuit and hear about the snow plows & tow trucks.  It’s a true mess out there but it sure looks pretty from inside my nice warm home. 

I woke up at 7a and fed the kids.  Then poked around on my phone to see what was going on in the world.  I got medicine passed out and then went off to breakfast.  Then hit up the grocery store.  I waited in my car for a bit until the haircut store opened up and then got my ears lowered.  When that was done it was off to the pet food store and then to the gas station and finally home.  I am in for the day and so very thankful for it.  I’m giving the car a chance to cool off then will go out a bit later and check tire pressure and clean up the back window. 

I am working on laundry and will be headed up in a bit to start on vacuuming and trash.  I am so ready for a nap.  Got a Sausage & Pepperoni Tombstone Pizza for supper.  Some cookies & ice cream for desert.  The next episode of Shameless will be on tonight and I always look forward to that. 

Ms. Momma is doing okay.  She has her moments when her walking isn’t 100% but she is 99% back to being okay.  Her personality is still way different and that has me thinking that her thyroid is probably off.  I’m monitoring her.  I will probably wind up getting blood work done on her, which is another $100 but the insight into what is going on internally is invaluable.  I don’t want to do it unnecessarily but if her personality doesn’t change up a bit I am more likely to dig and find out why.  This whole walking drunk thing has taken quite the toll on both her and I. 

Last full week before the Holidays begin.  Wow time is flying by.  I guess the good news is that it will be Spring before you know it.  Warmer weather will be nice but that is more than a few month off.  It’s cold out but this is only scratching the surface there is much colder weather ahead.  So glad the furnace was fixed last year.  I still remember coming home to a 52 degree house and Momma staring at me from inside my stereo cabinet with that face of help me.  I left her nose prints on the glass as a reminder. 

Well stay safe, keep warm and be well.  I will try to do the same.  Here’s to a great week ahead for one and all.  Talk with you all again soon.
