It snowed.. and snowed.. and snowed.. We had white out. For a while we were getting three inches an hour. I’m glad for Izrina’s safety, she got to the ranch after picking up some clothes and then slept there last night. I really hate when this happens.
In the morning, I got to work myself, but it was at just a little over half my my normal speed.. I am surprised they didn’t close the local interstates.. They were pretty slippery. I had the whole building to myself… no one else showed up for work…. hmm, until quite late when some of the evening crew showed up.
I don’t like when she stays at the ranch…I hate it.. but I allow it. I hate the idea of her driving in terrible weather even more. This is the second time this year that white powder has darkened my life by stealing my slave…. Freakin snow!
Have I mentioned in an earlier blog, that home is divided into five sections… one for each day of the week. She is to pickup, clean, and dust each section on its appointed day.. and then I inspect it afterward. That way it never gets too far behind. I like schedules and plans. Today was the kitchen area. So when she got home.. finally…. I was torn between keeping to the schedule, and making up for the time I lost to the snow.. but I did the right thing..
Have you ever been on an exercise program or diet and one day you break it… just for that one day?.. and then the second day you are like I’ll restart tomorrow? Sometimes you put things off so long its hard to start again. The thing is, you absolutely must stick to these things or procrastination takes over.. So when I said I did the right thing, what I meant was that even though I really really wanted to make up for time the snow stole from me, I shoved that in a box, let her finish her tasks, and then did my inspection. If I didn’t and the schedule started to lapse, I would have no one but myself to blame. Freakin snow!
The rest of the evening was lovely.. I am thinking ahead now to Valentines day.. The girl does love her chocolate.. Oh.. and then I shoveled some more before bed… Freakin snow!
Living With X 
Yes…snow was fun when I first experienced it in Indiana. Then as daily life goes on, snow went from beautifully silent to dangerously ugly.
Now that I am back in Cali, I really missed the snow. The bond I shared with my neighbors when we were digging our cars out at 5am in the morning. The selection of curse words that my roommate, also from Cali, used while scraping her car. And the funniest of them all, haha, was when she dumped a bucket of hot water on her car when we were late to class… needless to say, It didn’t went so well…
Her and I were constantly made fun of for not adjusting to the snow, but we managed with snowmen, snow angles, snowsled and the likes. Was really fun times that I want to revisit again =)
