It’s like the previous week was on replay or something. Cold weather, check! More snow, check!, weird cough slash illness, check! Snow day to cancel school the same week as a pre planned PA Day, check! It’s like January doesn’t want to end, and wants to go on forever. Forget Groundhogs day, January PA Days are vying for the position so we can never get out of the cold ass month. I feel exhausted. What day is it anyway? January 73rd? Ugh.
What’s worse is we aren’t even into the coldest month of the year yet, we still have the deeper freeze of February to look forward to, and exist within. Grocery shopping, getting gas, climbing, taekwondo, dance, girl guides, school drop off & pick up, dog walks, all of these things exist with an outdoor component, and February is here to kick us in the teeth for it. Oh, and don’t forget the snow shoveling, and the chipping of ice that awaits us all. Thanks! I hate it.
I was able to finish the first draft of my report nearly two days earlier than expected, so I can work on a couple of different things for another client today. With the kids home, yet again, I will need to stop frequently to deal with fighting, squabbling, and requests for food & beverages. Oh joy! I was under the impression they were going to the cottage with the grand parents last night, but that didn’t materialize. The extra deep cold seems to have taken the wind out of everybody’s sails for heading north. I don’t mind. I dislike the drive when we go for only one or two nights. Road conditions aren’t ideal for road trips.
I’m going to have breakfast shortly, and then I’ll get to work. I had hoped the kids would sleep in since they complain of being tired on every other school day morning, but I had to be up before eight am anyway. Why was I blessed with children that don’t want to go to sleep, stay asleep, or sleep in during the mornings when that option is available.
What Friday type things await us today? US interference in the Albertan separatist movement. Threats from T regarding airplane certifications. More threats of annexation. Cool, cool, cool.
