The cold

We lucked out with an early cold snap over the weekend, and because of the perils of ice on the road and unprepared drivers, that weekend was extended by a day. It wasn’t quite the snow day I had hoped for though, because the 30 mph winds meant that it was unpleasant to be out in, and freezing a two year old is still too young to have it build her character. So instead, we stayed in and enjoyed most of Sunday at home and most of Monday as well.

Yesterday we did set out to run a few errands and get the wheels changed. The estimated 5 hour wait at Les Schwab was enough that it meant we’ll be switching wheels another time. I was going to do it myself, but after hitting my head on the jack, realizing the wheels have a security lug nut and seeing how lame the jack is, I decided to spend my snow day doing something else.

The worst part of the weekend was when an envelope with checks blew away. We’ve searched the neighborhood, but ironically, the white envelope on white snow makes for a challenge. (Ironic because we never have snow) That and the huge gusts yesterday that ensured that the letter is long gone. Hopefully someone will find the addressed and stamped envelope and put it in the mail.
