Happy Tuesday!

We just got the call that we're closed tomorrow. I'm glad they didn't dick around on making a decision until tomorrow morning.

I'm not going to leave the house tomorrow! I was out running an errand today for the non-for profit for which I volunteer, and I thought I was going to blow away and freeze! We have tickets for Broadway in Indianapolis tonight and I'd rather just stay home!

I just spoke to coworkers in Green Bay who advised that the high tomorrow is minus 17.

So basically this was a bold face LIE

@eileenrob, I’m so sorry about your student. Sending healing vibes for your mom.

@mrsconn23, that’s fantastic news! So happy for you and your mom.

Most county buildings are essential employees only tomorrow. I thought that might mean I had to go in (I’m basically the office manager), but my boss told all us support staff that we could stay home tomorrow. DW was supposed to have a doctor’s appointment, but her doctor rescheduled for Friday.

This is our forecast for the next week. And people say climate change isn’t real. SMDH.

I got up and shoveled the driveway this morning and it was super cold. The snow and roads (in the N/NW Chicago burbs) were AWFUL yesterday and we had freezing rain and snow all day until about 7pm. Even though it's below zero all day today, at least it's sunny for the moment and I'm wearing new shoes.

Hi neighbor! Lake County over here!
Our district was one of the few that opted for a late start vs complete snow day and I was so glad they did! Every district has called out tomorrow; many have called out Thursday as well. I am hoping we may rebound enough to consider another late start.
I am a bit surprised as to what else is closing tomorrow. At least locally, Trader Joe's, some banks, waste management, and a few small restaurants have already said they will be closed. I get it. Why risk the welfare of your employees at the chance you won't even have customers? Growing up, most everything was closed on Sundays and holidays. I find it a bit humbling to be reminded that a little less of everything can be OK. I did read one Facebook comment that said, "My Starbucks near the office better be open tomorrow." Or.....you could pack a thermos LOL Stay warm! Agree with the sun. It's a mind game but a good one!

Dh’s campus is closed tomorrow. Too bad he’s an essential employee.

I got curious and looked up the weather back home. It was shocking! Then I converted it from Celsius and it was better, still shitty but not -26, lol. That windchill though, still -30. Stay warm everyone!

I ordered a new daily planner and until it arrives I am basically holding my breath that I am not forgetting a client or appt or my name. I seriously feel like I am winging life atm. A little dramatic? Yes. Could I use my phone? Yes. But I can’t remember shit if I don’t physically write it down, I need a planner.

small brag, DH paid off his student loans last night. I am so proud of him. Doing that was the reason we moved out here and now we can move on to saving for a house or building the kid’s college fund so he doesn’t end up in the same situation.

DD told me that SIL is working from home today because his company and many others told their employees not to come in since the trains have trouble running in this weather. I think that is pretty smart. They live in a northern burb and he takes the train into the city every day. It would be horrible to get stuck on a train or at a stop in this weather! Stay safe and warm! I'm not leaving the house today!

Happy Tuesday!
