Thoughts on the Day

  • This weekend it was shorts and long-sleeve tee shirt weather.  Last night it started snowing.  Got to love weather in Kentucky.
  • We got about 4 inches wet snow, with some drifting.  That’s just enough to make shoveling hard work for Girlie Bear.
    • Manual labor is good for the character and the soul.
  • For once, the roads were plowed and perfectly safe to drive on this morning.
    • I still passed two or three accidents, which just goes to show that no matter how hard you try to make things nice, there are some who will find a way to screw it up.
  • Girlie Bear is starting to moan about having to go to school into late June as the number of snow days increases.
    • My record was the 9th grade, where we went to school until the weekend before the 4th of July.
  • Taking the kids sledding after work was probably one of my better ideas.
    • 10 trips up and down the sledding hill will tire out a 5 year old boy.
    • Irish Woman reports that he gave her precisely zero grief over going to bed tonight.
  • You know how there are some sounds that will cause the hair on the back of your neck to rise and cause you to reach for a weapon?
    • Normally it’s something tapping at the window, or the sound of the hinges on the door when everyone is home.
    • I’m adding a new one to the list:  Moonshine howling while he’s asleep.  Thought for sure we had a lycanthrope in the house tonight.
  • It took me longer than normal to find him, because I took the logical step of looking for him on the floor.
    • How silly of me to not look for him in Girlie Bear’s bed, under the covers.
    • Every damned mammal in this house is spoiled rotten.

    I’m surprised we didn’t get ANY snow the other day.

    Of course, tomorrow while I’m at work we are to get up to 12″.

    I’m taking my gaming laptop, battery chargers, and extra food.

    Figure I have enough of it as it is.
