Morning.
I've been catching up. Weather isn't going to be cooperating this weekend. *sigh* The link is in the Weather thread. I have tea and I'm thinking about the storm prep I probably should do in advance of this storm!

I'm expecting town to be NUTS for the next three days starting tomorrow. It will be the first of the month on Saturday and we have "weather" coming in.

8 to 12 inches? EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.............. Or that's what it's saying for Sunday on our weather network site.

We're getting mixed precipitation on Sunday with up to half an inch of snow, and Monday it's up to 6 inches of snow. Probably the same storm that's going to hit your area on Sunday Penth. EW. 

The government checks came out up here yesterday, that's why it's nuts in our town.

They're saying "wintery mess" for this area but the track isn't nailed down yet so no one will say how much of it will be snow, how much will be rain and how much will be "wintery Smiley".

The government checks come out on the 1st unless the first is a Sunday or a holiday. When that happens they come out on Saturday or the day before the holiday. So tomorrow will be a little nuts and Saturday will be REALLY nuts -- which is why we'll be going to the bank early on Saturday and then heading for Greenwood.

I'm definitely going to be conserving megabytes today. We used too many yesterday and didn't get a full refill this morning. I see some basement cleaning in my future. I won't be tempted to surf if I'm not using the computer at all.

Ours is saying snow for your area... But that's OUR weather station. Roll Eyes

I've been getting Windows updates too and I've already used close to 100MB of my "amount" for the day. Wish uploads didn't count on the stupid stick.... Roll Eyes

Okay, I'm hungry and the eyes are killing me so I'm gonna get offline and go get something to eat. I'll be back later when my eyes aren't watering so hard it looks like I'm crying.

I'm back. My eyes are doing reasonably well. I've moved furniture around downstairs -- got the desk Mom gave me when I was ten where I can actually USE it! -- and I've eaten twice which is okay since dinner won't be ready until around midnight. I've washed some dishes and I'm about to work on a small craft project. Oh. And I conserved megabytes.

Skywise is home.
He has to work on Saturday.
Someone called in in anticipation of not being able to get to work because of the snow that hasn't fallen yet. There are no words for how thoroughly Smiley I am!

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Morning.

Penth, that's like our school board canceling school three days in advance of a snow storm or hurricane that's been predicted. GODS. *SIGH*

We had a couple of centimeters of snow come down overnight but it's not that bad... We'll see if schools are open or not in about half an hour. It can go either way. I've seen them canceled with nothing on the road - in anticipation of a predicted snowstorm - and then they've been open with more than 10 cm/4 inches down and the roads were not plowed. *SIGH* I'll check the school board's site in a bit.

Coffee and catch up time....

Skywise is getting ready for work and I'm still bummed about him working Saturday. And that's putting it mildly. Not a damned thing I can do about it though.....

I know it and that dingbat who called in to say they "couldn't make it" only has Saturday night-itis if you ask me.... Roll Eyes

Hubby worked daytime today but goes on three closing shifts starting tomorrow night. Another round of me trying to get Son to sleep when he wants to have a sock fight or talk about Rabbids Invasion... Roll Eyes

I'd love to give the two smarmy bitches who want a full paycheck without doing any work a piece of my mind but I'd probably get arrested.......  Smiley

I understand, I feel the same way when my husband is called in to work on one of his days off, especially if there's a blizzard or noreaster heading our way... *SIGH*

And Cat is going LOCO right now... I'll be under the desk if anyone wants me!!! *DIVES!*

The extra $$ in the paycheck is nice, useful and very welcome what with what we've had to pay out recently but dang it! I miss having "family time" with my husband present. One day a week just isn't enough!!

The only "Family time" we've had recently have been snow days. *SIGH* Hubby works all weekend every weekend... And when he works the closing shift on a school day, he sees Son for maybe ten minutes in the morning before the bus comes. He's generally gone before the afternoon bus arrives.

Yeah, we had a lot of that when the girls were in public school. It's the main reason Skywise took the super late shift. It has weekends off and being so late, it wasn't "high demand." He had weekends off and we could pick the girls up after school on the days he didn't supervise.
