I'm at home today. I'd arranged to take today off several weeks ago; I had a dental appointment and it just worked easier for me to swap my schedule around to work this Saturday and have the day for the dentist and running errands. As it happened, however, the storm yesterday and its after-effects resulted in the University being closed today, and as I go to the dental college's clinic my appointment was canceled.
I could have gone into work at that point, but I had scheduled the construction folks to come in and tear out the bakery ceiling today (since I wasn't going to be in) and I need to work the occasional Saturday anyway (Glorious Leader wants all managers to be familiar with what the store's weekend business looks like) I didn't see the point.
So far I've spent the day cleaning. Later I hope to get some baking in. I need to get to the post office to mail some packages but that is NOT going to happen today: the current temperature is 8 F (-13 C) and the wind chill is -13F (-25 C). I'll wait for later in the week when the high is supposed to be a balmy 19F.
