Monday (again!)

Monday morning came way too early. But, I coped. It was just damn cold, though, so it was back to a knit hat and leather gloves for the trip into work.

I didn’t go to Home Depot first for that SharkBite gauge. It dawned on me I couldn’t be the only one who didn’t buy a gauge, so I Googled it. You need just shy of an inch stuffed into the Sharkbite elbow. So, now I know…

I went to the Food Land at Plymouth Road and Farmington at lunch to get the few items I was out of. That included milk, but I had no fears it would spoil in this heat (LOL). My only fear was that it would freeze and burst during the afternoon.

Now, all of Lower Michigan was under a Winter Weather Advisory that started at 4:00 p.m. We are supposed to get 4-5 inches of snow overnight. I kept checking, but there was no snow here by the time I went home. So, tonight’s commute was a no-brainer. Tomorrow morning may be another story…

Once home, I dragged the trashcan out to the road, carried my two paper bags of groceries into the house, treated the cats and unpacked the groceries. I changed clothes. I watched the news and found that we were in a “hole” of the storm, but it was still coming.

Then I used the electric sweeper and did all the floors (something I should have done on Sunday, but the Olympics were calling my name!) It was close to 7:30 p.m. and still no snow! Maybe we lucked out?

Um, no… Next time I checked it was snowing like hell, albeit with small flakes.

I warmed up a can of Hormel Chili for dinner. I watched the Olympics until 10:00 p.m., set the DVD to record Jimmy Fallon’s debut on the Tonight Show and went to bed.
