It's freezin' buttocks cold here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We do 45 and rain, not 25 and ice. Still have snow and ice on my car from this weekend, went to Freddie's to pick up (what else) FROZEN chicken that's on sale. Came out and the sun had melted some of the ice and snow into the door crack and I spent 10 minutes in the 40 mph east wind gusts trying to get it unstuck. I was just about ready to give up and go inside and ask for help when it finally popped open.

DH is doing his first week of on the job training. He had to report to Terminal 6 at 3:30 this afternoon in Portland (they sometimes have to work the Union Pacific terminal over there). He is working the swing shift this week, it's supposed to be about 15 degrees and he's not far off from the Columbia River gorge, so I'm sure it will be below zero with the wind chill factor. Luckily he says the have 5-6 changes (don't ask me, something about changing freight cars) per night. So much of his time will be spent in the locomotive where it's warm. But I don't envy the time he will have to spend outside.

It was raining when I left my house at 7:30 and around 8:00 DBF called and said it had started snowing. Hopefully it will still be there when I get home.

In VEGAS??? Holy MOLY! Shoot.. I wonder if hell is freezing over.

It's a rarity... but I've read reports of it happening as recently as 2 years ago. Wacky weather pattern, it snowed in Moreno Valley/ Riverside as well that year-- now that is WEIRD!

I miss looking at the snowy mountains. We loved that last year, palm trees and green grass.. snow in the distance. Much better than the drab brown dead grass in the fall and the smoky haze from the fires .. or the daily air pollution from commuters ...cough cough gasp.


We ran out to pick up J after math team. Car windows are frozen shut, spinning wheels at each stop light, negative actual temps plus wind chill --- why did we move again??

Walked back to our door and my eyelashes were beginning to freeze. Hubby stepped back out for a cigg (ugh) and came back saying his nose was numb with cold. hmmm... time to quit smoking

 

[funnygarcia]

we had a great trip, dh's surgery is over and he's recovering, we are home and gradually getting settled back in... to snow! yowza, what a difference to go from upper 70s to the 20s!

had a long travel day on saturday (left the dlh around 9:30 am and arrived home at 11 PM), uff da!

Glad your hubby is recovering nicely. Coming back from vacation is always a downer.. slogging back to daily life and adjusting to the temp changes.
What's with the long travel day? Did you have delays?
We usually have a long travel day from MN, but we have the two hour time difference to screw it up on the way home. going TO California is nice, more time in the day to play

i am dog tired, though. didn't sleep well during the trip, for various reasons, and had a long travel day on saturday (left the dlh around 9:30 am and arrived home at 11 PM), uff da!

anyway, it's good to be home, and i may write a trip report once i get a few must-dos out of the way. i need to get groceries so we have something for dinner, need to figure out how to get a tree this week without dh's help, need to finish up the christmas shopping, and the ever-present , of course...

Hi Alex! I text messaged you a couple days ago but I don't know if you got it. I was at DTD at the time. I'm glad you had a great trip!

[eatmypixiedust]

I took benadryl and went to sleep around 1pm and woke up at 5:30pm. I still have a rash on my face. I still can't figure out what the heck caused it.....stupid food allergy to something.

I checked online and my group # was not chosen for jury duty tomorrow. Phew! I hope I don't get picked on Wednesday. *crosses fingers*
