EXTREME WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT

So I got kicked out of school...again! Yesterday was a snow day, today a COLD DAY! This is a first for me - staying home because of the extreme cold. I think we are turning into a bunch of wussy wimps!

Yes, once again I got up at 5am, warmed up Dougie the Dodge (I will admit he didn't want to start but after hesitating for a second he roared into life - that's my Dougie!!) and off I went to school. On the way there I heard that all the buses were cancelled once again, even the city school buses. I really didn't think they'd close the schools but I was only there for 10 minutes when the word came down - all schools will remain closed.

Sigh...
Okay, okay, yes I admit it's damn cold out there. -26 with a wind that takes your breath away. But close the schools? And I HAD to leave. It was just me and the custodian there and unless I have the alarm code (which I don't not being an admin type person) then I can't stay.

Crap...
That was me this morning with my Canadian olympic mitts on and my Canada Goose coat with fur hood. I was warm, very warm....once inside my truck!  Oh yes, and add glasses and grey hair to that picture, and lots of laugh lines :)

So, darn it all, here I sit in my recliner, drinking my hot lemon and ginger, writing to you. What a drag...hee hee hee. Seriously, I have big plans for the day.  Yesterday I got my redecorating mojo back and accomplished a few things...I'll tell you about them later!

Are you doing anything differently to stay warm?? Furnace up a notch or two?
