monday, monday.....

ok, so it is 4 degrees outside.....i would have figured that out when i tramped to the mailbox to get the newspaper....but i had heard it already on the radio and wore gloves in addition to a down vest.....many area schools are closed.....not including my daughter's.....and so i must get dressed to drive her into town prior to driving to work, where the schools are closed.....more importantly- i'll not be going to my diabetes support group in anderson this evening because their schools are closed and per tradition (and printed in the newsletter) we do not meet when anderson schools are out for weather conditions......and so i get to come on home after work today.....though i had kinda made plans to meet my eldest for lunch friday with my extra time.....i might still do that using a bit of vacation time- i can manage a late lunch with only 1 hour of annual leave.....i did get a restful night's sleep.....even with my congestion....these prescription-strength sinus remedies sent over by my doctor appear to have kicked in......i was amused to read in the lexington paper about most favorite versus least favorite superbowl commercials.....i saw none that appeared up to the high standard set by herding cats a few years back.....nope....none of those aired last night can compare to that classic......the game itself was better than usual.....lots of drama and good plays...too bad about the rain.....we had a lively debate about whether prince was playing air guitar so as not to get electricuted in the (purple) rain......i say he was never hooked up and the music was all pre-recorded for that particular scenario (downpour)....ah well.....it is monday morning and i must get myself ready for another week at work......such a shame, because i feel that it takes a few days to get really into the relaxation groove....and i had just about reached nirvana when the alarm went off......
