the_rckThere is, in fact, no school today, but I only have Cordelia in the house. The other two I'd usually have when there's no school are at home with their mother who decided that trying to get to work was going to be too much, given the weather. I can definitely understand the decision.
They canceled school at about 4:00 yesterday afternoon. They sent out two emails about it and called everybody. I'm not sure how much snow we actually got (I haven't looked outside to try to estimate it, but Cordelia said it's impossible to see where our front steps are). Scott seems to have made it to work all right; at least, I haven't heard otherwise, and I think I would have.
I was awakened this morning by a phone call telling me that UHS has canceled all appointments for the day. They called late enough that, if I had been trying to make it to the appointment, I'd already have left, but I had called the cancellation line yesterday when it became clear just how bad things were going to be today.
We went to the library around noon yesterday. We were afraid to put it off any later because of what we were expecting with the weather, and I think it was a good call. The roads were really terrible at noon, and I expect they only got worse as the day went on and more snow came down. We decided not to get bubble tea this week because doing so would have meant being late to Girl Scouts (and more driving on treacherous roads). I regret the bubble tea, but again, I think it was the right call.
The Girl Scout meeting was pretty laid back. There were only seven girls (one of whom arrived with only half an hour left to the meeting). They made posters for the upcoming cookie booths. We seem to have gotten good locations this year (unlike last year with Lowe's on Valentine's Day). I have to consult with Cordelia and Scott about which booth she's interested in helping out with. I will probably have to volunteer, too. I managed to avoid doing that last year (I was going to, but I got sick, throwing up sick, and couldn't go).
Walking home from the meeting was challenging. We had to go the long way around because of the construction around the school, so it was three or four blocks. The snow was three or four inches deep which made for a slog. I wasn't sure my legs would carry me the whole way. I'd have been really embarrassed to have to call Scott to help me get half a block home.
We had salmon patties, baked potatoes, and bok choy for dinner. I will have to cook the remaining chicken tonight. Which reminds me-- I should start that brining. I also want to bake a cake today. Neither of those things should take long if I can just get myself off my butt to start.
