Tuesday, March 17 - Happy St. Patrick's Day

4:58 a.m. - Yesterday was a battle with the drive!  I tackled it in steps, and that dang wind kept on howling the whole time.  In between sessions with the shovel, I played with Kollyns or help her take a nap.  And there was a little lunch and a little supper, and in the evening I watched a movie.  

Today, we are on a 2-hour late start, which really doesn't do much for me.  I decided not to get to mom and dad's last night because I wasn't sure I could make it.  I really could have used another snow day today to have more time to dig them out, but it's not to be.  So I'm going to go over there this morning and shovel some snow, and then I'll head to IC Elementary and probably move some snow there.  So school starts at 10:05 a.m., which will be a little weird at school - and weird at school generally isn't a good thing.  Basically, the students will be a little "pumped up" after all the snow and now the late start day.  But we'll get through it one way or another.

And I need to go vote too.  I'm really not sure what I'm voting for, but I'm going to go vote anyway.  Maybe because of this weird day, I'll make myself some breakfast!

Monday, March 16

6:14 a.m. - What a storm!  Sheesh.  The winds are howling, and the snow is falling, and there is no school today.  I think about everyone is shut down today.  There is no sense in even trying to do any shoveling until Mother Nature is all through, which may not be until later this afternoon.  So I don't know what I'll be doing today.  Maybe I'll be reading a book.  I suppose I can get on the exercise bike too.  At least for now the power is still on!

Yesterday was okay.  We got a few things done around the house.  We went to the casino and played some slots, and on the way home we stopped by mom and dad's farm.  And then later on baby Kollyns arrived to spend the night.  I watched a little basketball during the day, and the bracket is set for the NCAA basketball tournaments.

Sunday, March 15

6:15 a.m. - I did make a couple of purchases yesterday.  I went ahead and purchased a heater for the spa that we have, and I went ahead and reserved opening camping weekend at Loud Thunder.   What else did I do yesterday?  I mailed out a bill from Northwestern Mutual, and I ate too much food throughout the day, and I watched a lot of basketball - high school boys tournament and some college basketball.  I've now given myself about two weeks to get through a brutal school schedule and the end of basketball officiating season, and the high school season is now over.  It's time, then, to put more effort and focus into slimming down and getting ready for knee surgery in May.  Also yesterday, I watch Sinners, as that was a movie I have been hearing about for awhile and is up for many Academy Awards.  It wasn't what I thought it was going to be, and I found it really good.

And today....rain, thunderstorms, snow, thundersnow, blizzard warning...yes, all of that is supposed to happen.  I'm going to get to mom and dad's at some point, and I will probably watch some college basketball.  I'm not sure what will come at me after that.  Beware the Ides of March!
