Both of us were *total* zombies yesterday. So tired. So much yawning. We had a great, fast workout on Monday morning, but waking up super-early may have taken a toll on us. Coming down from high altitude in NM and transitioning from warm to cold climate may also have contributed. Anyway, we're better today, and we're considering going to the gym early tomorrow morning. (I responded to kerfuffled comments on the latter matter here.)
We got about four or five inches of snow yesterday morning, followed by freezing rain, then rain last night. The rain came down hard and had no where to go, since the gutters were covered in snow and ice. We had to go out in the evening, and the roads were flooded. We shoveled the driveway, and now there's a thick sheet of ice on it. It's hard to tell, but look at the sheen from the garage light in the second picture. We're not sure Grover can get down the driveway safely.
We salted the driveway, sidewalk and stairs with some pet- and plant-friendly stuff. It's 29 now, going up to 33, so hopefully some or all of it will melt away. Shoveling it is not really an option.
Also, our dryer is supposed to get fixed tonight! I walked to Atomic Appliance on Wickenden yesterday in the sleet to pick up the replacement terminal block we ordered. And we were out last night in the rain to go to Home Depot. We picked up a new power cord. Our electrician is going to reinstall both the block and cord. He's going to handle it in trade for the corner IKEA desk we have in storage in the basement. We're not using it, and he needs it for his home office.
Last and not least, Brown released its big economic impact email. Word is, unless something major changes (and things can change, of course), my job is safe through June 2010, for which we're grateful. We're still waiting to hear what Sue will be getting into next year. March or April is when the news will come out.
