I ended up texting my stepfather last night. He responded, so I know he got the text.
The school district canceled class today. The call came about thirty seconds after I got up and stumbled to the bathroom. Cordelia and I went back to sleep while Scott got up and prepared for work. I slept until about 8:30, an extra three hours.
Right now, there's two inches of slush over an inch of ice. We're legally obligated (city law) to clear the sidewalk, and I have no idea how that's going to happen. I can't do it, and I think it will be three inches of ice by the time Scott gets home. Cordelia has never cleared snow, let alone something this heavy and difficult.
The music program at Skyline is doing a fundraiser. There's a company that avoids setting up a bricks and mortar store by doing roving shows in high schools. They sell discounted mattresses and bedding out of cafeterias and gymnasiums and give the schools a cut. Last night, we had a parent meeting that lasted fifteen minutes and was all about how we need to tell people about the sale.
They want students to stand by the road to attract people who happen to drive by. That won't work at all at Skyline because it's not in a place where people drive by. It's on the other side of 14 from the rest of town, and there are four or five traffic circles plus the highway between the school and the closest non-highway busy road. It's February. Putting kids with signs and mattress costumes out by the road is not going to gain any customers.
