Snow Day
Toledo got 6 inches of snow last night, and it was still snowing when we woke up. Most schools were already canceled by the time we got up. Throughout the course of the day, we are expected to accumulate another 4 to 6 inches, and then the wind is going to pick up tonight making things a bit dangerous. I decided to stay home from work today. I had already planned on working an extra day this week, so I won't be behind at least. A trip to Ann Arbor in this weather could take 2 hours each way, and if the wind picks up things could be scarier. Not to mention, I would have left really late by the time the shoveling was done. UT said they were closed until noon, which was silly as it was supposed to snow all day. I checked two news websites every 5 minutes for Jimmy until he left at 11:00am. At about 11:15, UT canceled classes for the rest of the day. He decided to stay up there anyway and get some school work done.
For me, this day means I can get ahead on my nightly chores, make an actual dinner, exercise, get ahead on laundry and dishes, etc... I had made some chicken salad Sunday evening for throw together meals during the week, when I am too tired to cook. It's enough for two meals. We had one last night, but I am saving the rest for tomorrow night. Since, I am home I may as well make something a bit more time consuming, and save the faster meals for when I am actually working. So tonight I am making BLTs and fries. Yum.
I also took last Tuesday and Wednesday off from exercising. By the time I get home at night, get ready for the next day, and we eat dinner, American Idol is on. Since its been going from 8 to 10 both Tuesday and Wednesday....and I hop in bed at 10 (to fall asleep by 11)...I took off those nights for exercising. I did my exercising earlier this afternoon, so I don't have to miss it now. :)
