Well yesterday was the first snow day. Everyone got to stay home and cooped up in the house. There wasn’t much hustling and bustling. Roadways and driveways were frozen solid. All of the snow was laying on top of thick sheets of ice. And today it’s not any better.
So today is the second snow day. Everyone is home again. No work. No school. And no leaving the house. I’m getting cabin fever and wanting to get out of the house. But alas, as I type this, I am covered in a blanket and relaxing in the recliner.
HMR did not call me last night, as planned. I am trying not to read into it since I’m sure it’s because their offices were closed yesterday. So I’m kind of hoping they’ll call today, but don’t expect a call until tomorrow. She made it sound like they’ll call either way – if they want me to move on or not.
Everywhere last night was closed. Phillip and I went to eat dinner. We drove past Chilis – closed. Then Firehouse Subs – closed. Taco Bueno – closed. We finally got to eat at McDonalds, with all of the TXDOT workers. Staples, Lowes, Target, EVERYWHERE was shut down by 8:00 last night! The road conditions were that bad. Roads are empty. This city is empty. Therefore, more cabin fever can be observed.
The snow is still here. The ice is still here. And I am still here. Sitting in my house. I need to get out of here, but the roads are too icy and the temperature is too cold. The windchill is –1 degrees right now and expected to get down to –15 tonight! Crazy frigid!
Well, I suppose I’ll occupy my time by taking a shower. Blegh.
