Great day to get up, look out, discover my drive is blocked by half the snow in Indiana, and realize I have radiation today. Called by faithful plow boy Bryan May to come over and dig me out. Dressed in my usual sweat pants and long sleeved t-shirt, put on the parka, opened the garage door and immediately my nose froze shut! I talked nicely to Anne, my Acura RDX, and she started right up. Backed out into what looks like Antarctica on a bad day. We had one lane plowed down our street and that was done by Bryan! I made it to the Oncology center, grabbed a big cup of tea (coffee makes me sick now due to the chemo) and went into the waiting room. As usual, a few jokes about baring the bum. I told them they needed a picture on the wall saying "Here's looking at you!" Levity helps all parties. Twenty minutes later and I am cooked well. Out the door, into the SUV, and on my way to my sons house. Grabbed the mail that is still coming to this address even though we have been moved for three years. Scratched Lucy's ears for awhile (that's his dog!), chatted a bit, and then drove to OC cafe for Swiss steak lunch. Very good. I attempted home made vegetable soup last night, and while it wasn't bad, my mom's and my wife's are still my favorites.
I have now been on the internet for five hours, warned numerous times if I venture onto the street I will have to forfeit my oldest child, and will be shot on site due to the bad weather. Bryan posted a copy of the city ordinance which stated that private vehicles can be confiscated for city use. Yeah, right! Just try that! My oncology office called me to tell me they will be closed tomorrow due to the snow emergency. I had to let my body know so everything going on would just pause and wait until they reopened! You have to love social media and the impact it has had on the weather, be it good or bad. Based on what I have read, we must have at least twenty five feet, drifted taller than five story buildings. I was just thinking how the blizzard of 78 would have sounded on Facebook.
That's it for the day. Drive safe, be careful, and snuggle up with those you love!
