I just need to vent.
I always want to get as much done as possible on the weekends as far as errands, cooking, grocery shopping, mountains of laundry, other projects. I also want time to relax a little. But I run into bad pain days where I can only do the bare minimum or some other problem. This weekend it's the weather.
I wanted to go to bed around 11:30 or 12:00 tonight (Friday) so I could get up kind of early and go pick up a parcel and go to the pharmacy before the snow got heavy. I can't sleep. It's cycling between snow and sleet and the sleet is attacking my bedroom window. I have my fan on the loudest setting but I am a light sleeper. I don't think it's going to switch over to snow for good at any point. We are right on the line where I am.
Also I am worried about the power going out. Ice can do that. At least the sleet pebbles are small, but still. The one good thing is that I don't work retail anymore so I don't have to be anywhere until Monday. And I did pick up some stuff I needed and stop by the optometrist after work. The pharmacy changed hours from closing at 7:00 to 6:00 so I can't go after work. It's not ultra important anyway. It's just a back-up prescription. Silver lining? Mostly I just want my shoes that I ordered which are sitting at the UPS store.
Overall I really have no problem as long as the power stays on. If it goes out no laundry or cooking for me. I just feel anxious any time there's a storm. At least we've had no tornadoes. I've already seen the damage in other states. It's bad. I think I just need to be more grateful and less whiny.
Update: the power is still on and we got a few inches of snow. It's going to snow all weekend. I think my car is sealed by ice and I don't know if I'll be able to get in it. I've heard sirens twice now. People should know to drive slow on a day like today but in my experience they don't care.
