Today was a busy day at work. I was on my feet and on the go , even right up to 3:30!

So we got some snow today. It was not a lot, but the temps were below freezing and it came down fast. Arlington had 67 accidents this AM. Schools were open and things got crazy. I had a headlight out on my truck and my wife needed to get new tires for her truck. Today was crazy.

Yesterday it was high’s of 60’s and tonight it is dropping into the 20’s. We are even going to get an inch of snow! News has the full on panic mode broadcasting. They are hyping that they will be starting the news extra early tomorrow to keep us informed. Like is you wake up and see a dusting, you might not know it is snow. Good thing the local police departments would be overwhelmed with panicked calls about cocaine in the streets! It is an inch people, nothing to see here.

It was good today, the only thing missing was some borderlands time. My Coworker may not be in tomorrow, his girlfriend’s kid is in the hospital. She is sickly and has some extended visits each year. This one might be a bad one. Fingers crossed things are going to be OK.

Today I went shopping for some new shirts, shorts, and stuff for graduation. My wife was working so it was the perfect time to do so. I even had time for a nap even though it did not seem like it later in the day. Tomorrow is going to be rainy again so our adventures may not include much hiking in nature.

One day of work after returning from a holiday. They are always tough because you do not want to come in, but they are also easy because the majority of the workforce is out on vacation. We had a great meal shared with my wife’s one brother. He hung out with her as she was getting her car serviced and joined us for a meal. It is always great to share one together.

AM:
45 min elliptical machine

Today we had our family get together on my wife’s side of the family. We had a really good time. All the kids have grown so much! We carried on a tradition of wrapping paper fights after the gifts were opened. We really had a lot of fun after a great meal.
