Work? No, no, no, no!
As stated, I didn't go to work today. Two fold reasons, one being the obvious snow/ice issue and driving through Beaverton, over 26, over the bridge and into work was more than I felt was safe today. Second reason? My ankles had gotten worse since yesterday. Thankfully, I slept with them up on a pillow and I spent most of the day in bed with them elevated and then iced them later. The swelling in my left ankle is pretty much gone, but the bruises and the pain is still there.
The bad news is of course, my office wasn't officially closed today. As almost nobody could drive in, you would think they would close it for the safety of their employees (one of the company's core values: Respect for the individual) however, as anyone at the company who is worth anything to the company can work from home, I guess they don't see the need to close the office. The only people who aren't able to work from home are pretty much the Project Admins and the receptionist. Those of us the company seems to not value and thus, we can either risk life and limb to come into work, or we can go the day without pay.
Have I mentioned how much I hate the place I work at? Seriously. Checking tomorrow's forecast, it isn't looking like a much better day than today, but I can't afford to loose another day of pay, so I'll try to go in and pray that my car and myself handle the roads without incident.
Happier news: I got to spend the day in bed cuddling with the furkids :) and Jamers! After yesterday's trek through Hell and back, this was most welcome. We were going to make cookies today but that sorta fell through and now he is making foodlins which we'll take downstairs and eat while watching Babylon 5. We started it yesterday and I've forgotten (probably again) how horrible the first couple episodes are for computer graphics, and some of the acting, but how much story and plot they shove into those episodes to get you to come back for more.
Other happy news: Alexander just won't quit kickalating me! I do find it most annoying at times, however, as James pointed out it means he is active and hopefully healthy. I can't wait to see friends again as by now I think he doesn't go more than 10 minutes or so without movement. That means everyone who wants to feel the squirmies should be able to!
The man is telling me the foods are ready so it is off to the downstairs of cold to eat and watch.
