It was such nice weather on Tuesday and then on Thursday, as I started for work, it was SNOWING! Here’s video of part of my drive, taken from my dash cam. This is a couple miles from my house and going past the middle school/high school (you’ll see the flashing yellow lights as I approach the school).
Going on month two and aside from my morning walk ( masked of course) I’ve been inside.
I’m about ready to strangle my kids, except I need SIL to explain how stuff works. The legacy of having a husband who did everything. My tongue hurts from biting it. LOL
And frosting on the cake… the washing machine went haywire. If you choose warm water it spews it all over the floors and sounds like a cement mixer. I have a new set coming next Wednesday for a no contact ( by me) delivery and installation. The door to the laundry room is off the garage and the one to the kitchen will remain shut. Sigh
And it’s 2 things at my job – it’s “treat day” *we get treats one day a week for working during the corona crisis. The first week it was ice cream bars, the 2nd week it was snack cakes (like ding dongs & Hostess cupcakes). This week, we’re getting granola bars and Pop Tarts. They’re limited on what they can give us because things have to be wrapped, so they can’t give us cake or donuts or even fruit.
The other thing is it’s the first day of having our temperatures checked with an infra-red thermometer as soon as we get to work (before we clock in). We are instructed not to go in the main entrance door – instead, we have to go in a fire door at the back of the store. They’ll have to prop the door open so we can get in. They’ll also ask us questions like do we feel sick and have we been out of the country or have we been exposed to anyone who is known to have the virus. If our temperature is 100° or more or we answer “yes” to any of the questions, we’re sent home right back out that back door. We will be paid for the day but we have to stay away the next 2 days as well, with no pay for those 2 days. Because of the time it will take for the temperature check & stuff, Walmart will automatically pay us for an extra 5 minutes each day, even if it takes less than 5 minutes to do the temperature check & the questions. I think it will usually take a lot less than 5 minutes unless there’s a line of people just starting their shift – like the ones who start at 4 a.m. and the ones who start at 7 a.m. I don’t anticipate a line when I start at 2 p.m.
Well, they do say love (and spicy food) makes you do strange things. On another note, saw a nuthatch and a junco while out walking today. It was bright and sunny where I live. It was in the 60s, but it felt more like it was in the 70s.

Ooohhh – flying cats (shades of Rocannon’s World, although those cats were much, much bigger!!)
It’s snowing here today, which is thoroughly depressing.

Well, they do say love (and spicy food) makes you do strange things. On another note, saw a nuthatch and a junco while out walking today. It was bright and sunny where I live. It was in the 60s, but it felt more like it was in the 70s.
