A Minnesota Winter

Last week we had some pretty horrible winter weather. On Wednesday it started snowing. Then it kept on snowing all night and the next day. The wind was blowing about 30 mph as well. Only 5 of us made it to work. That was fine because it wasn't too busy. I took the opportunity to start catching up on some things. The snow stopped by Friday, but it got down to -25 with wind chills of -40. Brrrrrrrrr

Saturday I started to clean the house. I did what I could, but I still can't scrub floors or anything. That will come I guess. Denver and Danielle came home so Leon could fix the snow blower. Well, there was no fix left to it so they went out looking for a replacement. When they got back they decided we should go out for supper. We went to the Grain Exchange. What a mistake. We sat there for nearly half an hour and nobody came to wait on us. Not even get a drink order. I was so upset. We just left. We ended up going to the Loon for their buffet.

Sunday I only left the house long enough to go to church. I didn't mind being a hermit at all. In fact it was very relaxing to just snuggle up under a blanket in my chair and watch football all day. I did some laundry and other putzy stuff, but it was just a very nice day.

Then came today. It was like they opened the flood gates at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone who didn't make it out of their house last week came in. I have such a huge pile of work that I didn't get to today. I am going to have to go in early again tomorrow and try to get some more things done. I just get so much more done when there isn't anyone else around. I just don't know if things will ever smooth out so that I can get most of my daily tasks done in a day. I just don't see that happening. . . . . .
