I don't have the day off, but I am working from home. Soo not much work will done today. Right now I am watching the Bachelor from last night.

I'm trying to work up the courage to brave -20 wind chills and snowblow at least half the driveway. Maybe by noon it will warm up and only be -10.

[mrss44]

I also have to work. This is lame.

Honourable mentions to:

BC for having Family Day last week.
Manitoba for Louis Riel Day (Je me souviens!)
PEI for Islander Day
NFLD, NS, NB, QC, Territories... I am sorry you don't have a holiday today!

I'm working all day today.

My dad is coming over to hook my new dishwasher up to the electrical panel! Too bad I couldn't take it anymore and hand washed a huge pile of dishes last night.

My dog got up at 3 am to go outside. I got out of bed and stepped in a giant pile of dog puke - with both feet. FML. H got up and picked up the puke while I washed my feet off. He used a kitchen spatula. I now have a designated barf spatula.

I am working today wishing I was napping. I will later get my car unstuck from the snow! I nanny so I am stuck in their driveway. I was hoping to relax when the kids napped but I guess I will be shoveling.

On a good note I bought some margarita stuff yesterday that I can enjoy tonight!

Currently -24 with the windchill. I'm going in a half hour late today. I'm too achey and tired today.

We are heading into town to get a new faucet because the old one won't fit with the new tub and then attempting to finish installing the tub/putting our bathroom back together.

[alpies]

I'm home from work today and definitely not leaving the house. It's 0 degrees here, which is apparently a lot warmer than the weather some of you are braving?!? But still cold as fuck. So I'm home, and my project for today is making homemade bread for the first time. Anyone have a good recipe? I don't have a bread maker machine.

Here in the south, the high is 42 degrees. I think it is 37 right now. And schools are canceled today because the forecast of snow today. But really we are just going to be having a rainy day.

I've made this bread a few times and found it relatively easy and delicious:

Didn't sleep, have to work, and it snowed last night. I just want to stay home.

That looks amazing! I will definitely be trying it. Thanks!

I'm at work today. It is 0 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of fuck-a-tude. It has been a horrible morning.

[rooskie]

I just texted my boss that I'm working from home today. We're suppose to get an inch an hour until 3ish. I could make it there, but who knows about getting home.

So today I will pretend to work and catch up on my DVR.

[mill23]

Freezing cold family day here. Still in my PJs, drinking coffee and over analyzing my chart. I need help.

Plans are to finish the quilt I'm making for a friend, clean up the house and maybe go to yoga.

We had the day off already, then an ice storm came through. Well played, Mother Nature.

I will probably run Friends on Netflix all day while I clean my disaster of a home since I'm not going to venture out into that shit. Really needed to deposit a check, too. Oh well. There's always tomorrow.

Oh, and I have papers to grade. Yaaaaaaay.

Does your bank offer mobile deposit fuzzylogic?

[fuzzylogic]

treble They do, I'm just not signed up for it. I know I'm going to sound like a really, really old person, but I just don't trust it lol. I don't know why. My mom works at my bank and she doesn't trust it, either. It's not life-threatening if I don't get it in today. I've had the check for almost two weeks and just keep forgetting about it.

CT equals Canadian Tire Ontario has weird bi-laws all over the province about opening on Holidays. Sometimes I sneak over to the "Dark Side" aka as Gatineau to shop, but it is sooo busy.
