The ice and snow that they predicted is one degree from getting here. It is 34 degrees outside, which makes things wet, not too slick. I hate ice. One time I was getting into my car in my driveway and as I scraped off the windshield and walked around the car, I fell--twice! It is humiliating enough to be lying on your driveway flat out, but to do it twice is awful! I also fell once on the walkway going out to the street. There is drainage that runs across the sidewalk in one spot, and it ices over. One minute I was happily walking down the sidewalk with my purse and my totebag and the next I was laying flat out looking up at the blue sky. My arms were spread out like a snow angel. That time I hurt my neck and it was a year before I could raise my head up from the washing station at the hair salon without help.
Today I am going to work, to do the best I can, and to come home elated. It is good. It is Friday. The Patriots are playing on Sunday. I have the popcorn bowls ready. Go Pats!
Have a great Friday.
