My own snow day

Well, it has now snowed here at least 12 inches and still counting. I tried my best to make it to work today, but didn't even make it out of the driveway. Since I have a downhill slope out of the driveway, I thought I could at least make it to the road and have slow going to work, but eventually get there. Wrong! I got stuck just before enter the roadway. Luckily, that is where I stayed and not stuck out in the road where my car would get run into and hurt somebody.

Just as I got myself stuck there, my cell phone rings and it is my coworker saying that she hopes I am not trying to venture out in this weather. We both decided that it most likely the clinic will close. Which is rare. I cannot understand why anyone would want to venture out if they don't have to, but when I worked in the pediatric office in Des Moines parents would bring their kids in the worst weather for WELL child checks. I can understand if they are really sick, but WELL. Why come if you don't really have to??

So, as I was saying. I am stuck at home and with no TV. Our satellite receiver went out sometime last week. We have been watching and rewatching some of the DVDs in our collection and that is already starting to get old. They are apparently upgrading and that has put a delay in our getting a new one plus the fact that these orders always seem to get mixed up. And, they don't understand why we feel we shouldn't have to keep paying for service that we are not getting. So, in the end we will get some free stuff (we hope) or we will get totally different service. But, in the meantime, I am going to have to either clean house, bleh, or find some other creative outlet to spend my day. There are lots of things I could do, but how ambitious am I today? :)
