I guess I’ve been doing a good job of keeping busy. Or at least keeping myself amused. I can’t believe it’s Monday again. Didn’t I just put the trash out? How could it be trash day again already?
Actually doing the trash this week was like an immunity challenge on Survivor. It rained all day yesterday (poured, thank you, for most of the day) and by 8pm last night there was a thin glaze of ice everywhere. And I mean everwhere. Junior and I were coming home from my sister’s house, and after we got off the highway, we were on a side street. At a curve in the road, my car wouldn’t stop, slow or take the curve. VERY tense few minutes – luckily I wasn’t going very fast and pumping the brakes and downshifting took care of things. Luckily I was only a mile or so from home because then I was in a blind panic about the ice…if I hadn’t stayed below 20mph I would have slid right through a stop sign (luckily, Sunday nights traffic is much lighter, and there are no commuters on that road so there wasn’t anyone coming in either direction.)
Oh, so then I got home, and had to do rubbish. My driveway slopes down…boy howdy, it was a fun walk down the the end of the driveway and back up again!
This morning I ran out to pick up the empty bins in only a sweater (it’s nice and sunny out!) and nearly froze to death. Oh my word, is it cold out there. Yahoo says it feels like -7 (wind gusts are 20-30mph) but I’m here to tell you it feels MUCH colder than that. My fingers were aching, and I was only out there 30 seconds to a minute! My goodness, is it just me, or is that a little chilly for March?
