ice day
Like much of the country we got hammered with an ice storm overnight.
I woke up around 6 and got ready with plans to either take Laurie to work or to go to Whataburger for our weekly men’s study. Laurie said she’d be fine getting herself to work but she also said she wasn’t much in favor of me going but I had to do the manly thing and charge on ahead.
After getting outside and seeing my truck was covered in 1/4" of ice I decided it probably wasn’t worth the effort. So I made a couple phone calls and came back inside where I quickly crashed on the couch.
Our office was scheduled to open around noon (Laurie found out her office was closed for the day after she was up and showered and ready to go). Around 11 I headed out and began the 20 minute process of de-icing my truck. Got it done, started down the road and got a twitter direct-message saying the district would remain closed all day.
Excellent! I called to double check our offices "weather hot line" and it still said we were opening at noon.
I finally had Laurie check the district website and it reported the district would remain closed all day as well.
Glad the marketing department got the word out faster than the admins did :-(.
When I made it back to the house around 11:50 they had finally updated the "weather hot line."
So I returned to the couch and didn’t move much until time for dinner.
I think I ended up taking 3 or 4 naps during the day. It’s amazing how easily you can fall asleep when you go-go-go and then suddenly have nothing else to do.
So what did you do on your ice day?
