Sympathy like for the cold and living with a male of the teenage variety GWS xoxo

Thanks. He was down for the count several days this weekend. Now he's refusing to take cough medicine, even though he's coughing all over the place. And that's how I got it.

Came back to work to a giant mess today...just a ton of work, and it didn't help that my coworker had to take her son to the doctor yesterday afternoon, so none of the day-to-day stuff got done. I ended up working nine hours.

Power is back on. The wind took down a branch which in turn took down a wire. It wasn't out too long because a crew was right down the road fixing another downed wire. The house was nice and toasty because the bean loaf was just finishing up. I was going to finish a shirt but that will now have to wait for tomorrow

Sympathy like. The wind was shaking the windows at work today.

On the bright side, my Civic is very aerodynamic. Could not tell it was windy driving that thing.

Somebody please do something about the wind. Thank you

Stop with the Sprouts !!!

 

[Gabe1]

Brrrrrr

But hey, they say everyone should have power by tonight.

 

[Gabe1]

Hope the power comes on soon. Do I need to send DH to help?

He would have been welcomed with open arms. Hopefully everyone is back online tonight.
Our lights only flickered, never lost power but the whole area around us was dark for 2 days, trees down on wires. Tree branches keep falling cause they are still encased in ice adding new outages. Our area was 'cause of an exploding transformer hit by a tree.

 

[Gabe1]

The like is for the wind dying down

Hoping for the same for you!

It just stopped snowing. Didn't even know we were getting snow.

Giggle. Lots of Elvis talk this week.

The traditional school day hours are 7am - 1:30pm. My daughter often stays after school and takes the 2:30pm "Late Bus".
She texts me when she gets home. I usually receive her text around 3:15pm.
(My elementary school's hours are 9am - 3:30pm......I must sign in by 8:50am and can leave at 3:40pm)

Wow! Those hours are quite a bit less than ours both at the elementary and high school level.

 

[Gabe1]

I am usually to school long before I am required. Yet I think your employer was unfair to require you to stay 45 minutes after the kids were gone.

Our teachers are required to be there 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after school.
8 hour day. They have stipends for events or extra duties.

DD has been watching Bob Ross videos. Don't know whether to be proud or to laugh....maybe a bit of both.

Look at all those happy little trees!

 

[MinnieM123]

Not exactly. I think the theatre only has 99 seats or something.

Quality, not quantity is most important.

My travels every day. Speed limit is 40 which I can barely do when it's wicked windy. And by wicked windy, I'm only talking about 20 - 30 mph.

Only good news of the days....my car insurance went down $700 for next year.

Back when I was in the printing and publishing business, I had to work a straight 26 hours to meet an important deadline. By the 20th hour numbness set in and I could have gone another 24 or more. It can be done and one will survive. I have to admit though that the next two days were somewhat wasted. When I wasn't asleep, I was very much zombie like.

Spoiler

Which sadly didn't alter my personality. No one else noticed any difference.

Do you keep a life jacket in your car?

Do you keep a life jacket in your car?

I should. I do despise the bridge but I force myself over everyday.

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

My bank account would prefer their alternative math.
