While a large percentage of people have the day off, I get to to work! While I was off work last week, today being a Federal Holiday, I get to go to work!. I would love to take the day off, using sick leave.. but as I only have 40 hours for the rest of the year, I'll bundle up against the cold,and brave the icy streets. Since I've cooked enough in the last few days, I have plenty for lunch, and have most of the meals for the week covered.
It isn't so much that I mind my job once I'm there.. it's just the getting out in the ice that really puts a damper on the situation. I don't worry so much about myself, I drive slow & cautious in this stuff. It is the other guy that thinks icy roads means to floor it. Then seems shocked when the vehicle he is driving, *or her* gets out of control.
Yesterday I knitted most of the day. I watched a bit of tv, some movies and fought my computer to try to log on here. I finally gave up. Now, that I fell asleep early, I have woke up too early. So.. I'm taking advantage to add this before I go to work in about 3 hours.
While I remember the joys of childhood when school was cancelled, I now, as an adult wish that sometimes I could go back to those times. I understand one can't turn back time... but wouldn't it be nice to just visit as a shadow, and remember some of our favorite times.... Oh well, I suppose our memories aren't totaly infallable.
I hope that this day finds you with something to smile about.. be it simple or complex. Don't forget to say hi!
