We are totally iced in and the temperature is 28 degrees F. The forecast is for yet ANOTHER ice storm from about noon today until noon tomorrow. I just contacted everyone, telling them we won’t be able to make it to Lunch Bunch this Friday. Maybe we’ll thaw out by a WEEK from Friday.
I haven’t even tried to see if we have more limbs and trees down in the driveway. It’s like a skating rink outside. It LOOKS like snow, but it’s little bitty ice pellets. I just let Amber out. She tried to run, but fell down, sliding. I waited about 5 minutes, then went to the garage to call her. She came around the house, ‘running carefully,’ if that’s possible.
I suggested last night to my husband that he NOT put Amber on the leash when he took her for her last outing, worrying that she might pull him just at the wrong time and make him slip and fall on the ice. He actually LISTENED and did what I asked! She took care of everything quickly and both got back inside in one piece.
It’s hard to believe that we are facing yet another ‘significant’ ice storm above what we already have. The good news is that if we live through this, the weather is supposed to improve a LOT with highs in the 40’s, 50’s, and even 60’s by the end of the week! HOORAY!!!!!!!
My husband and I haven’t killed each other yet. He, as usual, does a combination of things that melt my heart and other things that make me want to dig a hole in the back yard to throw him in. For example, last night he said, “Thank you for my life.” He went on to say there is no one in the world he would rather be iced in with. Yeah. NICE.
On the other hand, I heard a crash this morning while I was in the office. I jumped up to find out what had happened, worried that he fell and was hurt. He was sitting at the dining area table, calmly drinking coffee. He had TOSSED the Corelle plate he had been using under the dog gate so that Amber could lick it. THAT’S what I heard. I glared at him, looking at me innocently, explaining that my heart had stopped when I heard the crash. Just another day in the life of the Lewises.
I hope you are safe and warm.
