After waiting all weekend for the snow and ice predicted in our most recent "Winter Blast" and getting nothing but cold temperatures and rain... this is what we woke up to today.I honestly had no clue this stuff was even expected and got up extra early in order to be at work earlier. I was just listening to the radio when suddenly they started talking about bad roads, etc. I was thinking, is this a repeat show? NOPE. The ice came at last!
Timing isn't the best because I have a Friday deadline I need to meet. But... any free day at home is always nice. I usually feel a mix of relief and guilt when I don't drive into work with this ice and sleet. But... I can't afford a car wreck (even with good insurance) and my life is more important so.. home I stay. The sucky part is that I was up early and couldn't go back to sleep. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
So even though it all melted around 3. I was home with my man and cat =) Once we got our pool pipes thawed out (don't ask! I told him to turn on the pump but did he .... nooooo.lol) the day was fairly quiet. However, I did find ways to amuse myself...
she's not supposed do to that (climb the sofa) but it was so cute I couldn't get after her.
Cats and Pac-Man (Playstation 2) - how much fun can you have in one day! Isn't my kitty cute?hehe I love cats - they are so funny. Mine is exhausted now from all those acrobatics and is curled up beside me on the very sofa she just climbed; dreaming about something good to eat (she is swallowing and twitching like nobody's business). Its so amazing that animals dreams - dogs are hilarious too. So all in all it was a nice restful day but tomorrow I'm gonna pay for it I'm sure.
More later...
