In an extremely rare occurrence, a significant snow & ice storm hit with enough force that not only were all the K-12 schools closed, but the U as well. We had approximately 1/3 inch of freezing rain, and then about 7 inches of heavy snow, followed later in the morning by about 2 inches of dry, light snow and heavy winds.
So, luckily I was able to get to the track and put in my 5 miles of running ahead of the snow and ice becoming TOO horrendous. Then for the rest of the day, I vacillated between two things: A) Shoveling and plowing to keep the driveway and sidewalks under some semblance of control and to move the plowed snow from the street and from in front of the mailbox that the big county trucks pushed over the mailbox, driveway, and curbs. And B) Caulking, and doing some minor wall repair in one of our bathrooms. A person who shall remain nameless (but not me), accidentally pushed on one of the towel racks with such force, that the anchors embedded in the drywall for the bolts pulled out leaving gaping holes in the walls. I have repaired the plaster and probably can put on a coat of primer today in preparation for painting the one wall. After I finish sanding and priming, I will put in new anchors a few inches above where the prior ones were (the repaired area would not be appropriately strong for a towel rack).

We seem to have missed the freezing rain -- for once.
ReplyDeleteNot much of a day off; a good mystery and an Irish coffee vould have been a third option.

That sounds like how my husband uses his unexpected days off :) Me, I'm more inclined to do what the Ol'Buzzrd suggested!
