Holy Blizzard Batman!
Last night, I was sitting on my couch watching TV and reading a book when it sounded like my house had moved into a wind tunnel. It had been very windy all day (no surprise since this is Wyoming), but this was extreme. I looked outside and could see absolutely nothing. Sustained winds of 60 mph and heavy snow created a zero visibility nightmare - later I looked out to see how my trash can (and the trash inside it) had survived the wind...not well. This was one instance when I totally agreed with the freeway closure.Today, my mother called, ostensibly to tell me I should be at their house by Sunday to help the choir with their boom whacker practice (don't ask). She's still not getting the idea that floods and blizzards make it a challenge to drive to their place so the "maybe" is still in place. Really though she called to tell me that her "other daughter" called and is probably coming to Easter dinner with my mom's granddaughter and don't I want to meet my niece? Nice try mom. Still not getting grandkids from me any time soon.
The thing that does actually make me feel bad about maybe not going home is George. Poor baby hurt his foot really badly and now has a staph infection. Apparently, he's not eating & drinking, can't pee, whines all the time and runs into walls. They hope if I bring Gracie around, he'll forget about his foot a bit and be more interested in getting some action.
