Our driveway got dug out last night around 6:00pm – by a front-end loader. You might think that’s a little excessive, but with about 28 inches or so of snow, it was probably the easiest way to move it. So the snow is now in one giant mountain; should be nice and messy when it actually gets warm enough to melt.
One of our neighbors hosted a small party last night, in an effort to prevent us from going all-Nicholson in The Shining. It was fun: we brought the girls and hung out for a while.
I went to the grocery store this morning (my usual shopping day is Saturday and there was no way I was going out even if the store was open). Surprisingly, there were not many people in the store and I was able to easily find everything I was looking for.
I had to go into work today and drove in. I brought things home to work on, but it’s just not possible to get enough quiet to get it all done. And Karen’s sick, so she didn’t mind being without the car. It must have been a-hole driver day. Twice within a three block stretch, parked cars pulled out right in front of me. A dicey proposition when the roads are dry and downright insane when there’s still a little snow on the ground along with ice, ruts, etc. Lucky for me that I anticipated this stupidity, and avoided accidents.
I should have gotten the weekend key for the building garage; the pay lot was a colossal rip-off. I managed to get done what I should have finished days ago. Still a little behind where I want to be, billable hours wise, but I just didn’t feel like staying too late. And I had no interest in watching the Super Bowl. Caught the last two minutes though.
The bus ride into work tomorrow morning should be interesting. The two routes that I can take into the office are currently showing as running normally, though that may change by the morning commute. Happy dig-out!
