Thwarted by snow. AGAIN.
So, in early January my first OB appointment was canceled, because of a threat of snow that never really happened. Everyone was predicting a huge storm, with 6-12 inches, and so the city basically shut down, including my doctor’s office. I think maybe a quarter of an inch fell.
This week, a similar “snowpocalypse” was predicted. I didn’t believe it, because of the boy-who-cried-wolf nature of the previous storm. So my parents and I continued making our merry plans for them to drive down.
Enter 6 inches of snow in my city. My museum closed after an hour of being open on Friday, and it was decided that it would be closed on Saturday again. “Score—four-day weekend!” I thought to myself, and with my parents coming in on Sunday, I spent Friday and Saturday lying on the couch, recovering from the previous weekend’s huge amount of house-related work.
You know what’s next. The snowstorm, like all other weather that hits our city, then makes its way up the interstate between our house and my parents’, and by Saturday night they had about a foot. The roads were too dangerous—the typically eight-hour drive between here and there has several mountainous areas—so my parents couldn’t come. WAH.
So on Sunday and Monday I did as much as I could, including taking *four* trips to Lowe’s on Sunday. I got a lot done, but now I am exhausted, and we still have to hire painters to do stuff to the house, and it still needs to be “staged” and photos taken and paperwork signed before it can go on the market. The painters have to wait until the weather changes to paint the porch. Mama Jae is sick, and I slept like crap last night. Heater is broken in my office. It’s going to be one of those weeks, I think. (Whine, whine, whine…sorry.) Bleh.
oh, I'm so sorry lady. Suckytown. Hopefully the snow will clear, the roads will be plowed, your wife will get better, and all will return to normal in a short while. Until then…whine away!
Oh, boo! I hope the snow clears soon and that your parents can make their way to you to help out. I think most of us would be whining under these circumstances.
I got nothing but hugs for you. Wrap yourself in a big cozy scarf, make some cocoa (milk is good for you), and remember that spring is on it's way.
Sorry you're having a bummer week.
Oh drat! Effing snow! Sorry nothing is going as planned right now
I'm so sorry. Snow was so great when you were a kid, but not so much when you're an adult. I hope it warms up soon so you can get all of the house stuff done.
Nooo! I'm feeling you on the disappointment – my mom was coming to town and just canceled (for non-weather related reasons). I second Nutella — get cozy, burrow in, have some cocoa… Also, hope Jae is feeling better.
