Finally!!

Hey, A.

You're on the right track, but I wasn't feeling a spicy Bloody Mary--yet...I made a great pot of coffee this morning when I got up at 7:40 and I had some left over after two cups. I didn't want any more hot coffee and I didn't want it to go to waste, so I decided on an iced coffee cocktail (coffee, vodka, Kahlua, Baileys, milk). Thanks for your part in my perfect, frothy, snow day concoction. Cheers!

Snow isn't here in my backyard yet but "is on the way." Other parts of the state are already getting snow, but I'm thinking since it hasn't gotten here yet (it's 11) they probably could have gotten away with bringing us in and calling an early release. Oh well. If the walloping is a sure thing and doesn't end until late (even later now, it looks) I imagine we'll have a delay tomorrow as well. Hey, I'll take it. A short day Thursday, a full day Friday and then a whole week of vacation!!! Yay, me!

Enough of the happy stuff...

I spoke with D this morning to check in about getting together. We had decided we might get together for sushi this week (my new thing) before she starts chemo, and then I thought (I know she is strapped, especially now that she is on disability) maybe I'll have her and her daughter over for fish tacos (we all love them; it was our pool date dinner when they came over this summer) instead. Unfortunately, she can't make it tomorrow, friends of hers who are supposed to come over tonight are coming over tomorrow instead--after her MRI. Yuck. I guess she's been having intense headaches and her doctor wants to take a look at her brain. [Deep breath] Amanda, if it's in her brain it will get soooo ugly. How truly tragic. I don't want to be a Negator, but...

And now enough of the tough stuff...

I hope to make the most of my day off and hope you enjoy a day of reading today, with or without bad weather.

Love you,
Barb
