Can I just tell you . . . I really don't like Monday mornings and this morning was really bad. To begin with, it's Monday, the weekend's done and over with. I pressed snooze a couple of extra times and that made it so I was running late. I couldn't find my keys this morning, I know I had them yesterday evening when I drove home from church and I also unlocked the door to the house. Yes, I'm an airhead a times and it's dang frustrating. Anyway, after looking for a bit, I borrowed Big Grizz's keys. Well, it snowed last night. Big surprise, I know, it is winter after all. It rained yesterday though and then it froze and snowed on top of the ice. The car doors were all frozen shut. Great - now I'm really running behind and I still have to scrape the car but the scraper is in the car and I can't get in. Well after working on all of the doors I manage to get the front passenger side door open. I'm in! Well I climb in and start the car - so I have hope of heat before I get to work. As I am sliding over I caught my shoe lace on the knob of the cigarette lighter. That was awkward to get undone. I didn't know that my leg could bend that way. Well I got that undone and started the car. Now it's time to get the drivers side door open from the inside where I can put my shoulder into it. Well after 3 good shoves, it breaks the ice seal and opens. As it finally opens, it dumps snow and ice all over my head - so much for a hair do - and all over the rest of me. The worst part is the ice that goes down my shirt. Can you say COLD?! Well the car took me 10 minutes to scrape and then I went back inside to salvage what was left of my hair style, thank goodness it was a ponytail day. By now my jeans are also wet below where my coat covers and I am more than cold. I gathered up my stuff and headed back out to the car. The transmission seems to be having issues lately and it acted up this morning and would not go into gear right off. I spent a few minutes doing the tricks that help it go into gear, and then I was off. While sitting at a long stop light, I thought it would be nice to let my boss know that I'm still alive, so I pulled out my trusty cell phone and dialed him up. Well, my cell phone is out of my prepaid minutes, call won't go through. Super, I'll just get to work. The roads were nasty but I did fine and people seemed to be going slow and paying attention. A nice change from the usual. I made it into work and did not fall on the way in which was a nice bonus. After 2 cups of hot chocolate, I think I can stand to face the rest of the day. Onward and upward! Spring is only around 2 months away.

I am totally hearing you about Mondays. I almost missed the garbage man and after putting out my recycling, I noticed later that it was blowing down the street, so I ran after it, tripping on my own two big feet and kersplat. I now have a road rash knee, elbow and wrist... after a good cry and some cleaning up of blood then I could laugh...Mondays! Onward and Upward from here I hope!
B-B-B-BBBBB-RRRRRRRRRrrrrrrr !!! WOW - I sure don't miss that cold weather AND, halaluah -- retirement is so fine -- NO MONDAY'S !!!
You have my sympathy and prayers. Love ya!
I am also counting down the days until Spring. It cannot come soon enough! I have had enough snow!
Haha I totally feel you on the Mondays! I had one myself. I started my day similarly; sleeping in a bit, not noticing that it iced over COMPLETELY last night, 10 minutes of scraping, and then the difference...I GOT STUCK IN THE SLUSH OF OUR DRIVEWAY! UGH! I had to borrow a neighbor's shovel and dig out, making me late for work and thus frustrating my day...Add in to that slipping on the ice on my front step and straining my Quadricep and we've got a monday. My heaven help us all.
I'm sorry, sushi had a day like that too. hugs!
