“Not a terrible day but a bit cold this evening waiting out for the bus. Blowing snow made the sidewalks drift shut. Going to be a cold evening but it will warm up for the weekend. I survived Monday, so I can’t complain too much.”

“Like usual I was running a little bit late and either the bus didn’t come or was running late so I had to wait for the 9:10 local downtown. I guess I shouldn’t have assumed all buses would be delayed as city streets are mostly just wet. It didn’t help that my driveway wasn’t plowed so I had to put my big boots on and my neighbor was stuck, so I tried to give him a small push on my way running out to the stop. High centered on my unplowed driveway. I guess it doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things as the bus is getting me to work and my supervisor knows I’m running late.”

“I had a dream last night that my pet bobcat woke me up late for work because my alarm clock lost power in the storm last night. While I don’t own a pet bobcat, I did lose power briefly and my cell phone alarm woke me up. Which is good as I don’t want some secretive wild cat smacking me in the face on a Monday morning.”
