Squirrelly Stormy Morning
I awoke with a splitting headache today. I have no idea why and I wasn’t hung over because I don’t even drink. Of course my daughter could not find her backpack or her forms and was in a snit about that.
I made a lame attempt to assist her but shuffled along as though I were 90 years old. Busting any sudden moves made my headache worse. One possibility is that I need glasses because I do squint a little more to read fine print and I have been reading a lot.
It was horribly stormy out there today. We have concluded that my youngest daughter’s snow pants are in fact too tight even though she was wearing the wrong ones previously.
It was so bad the door wouldn’t stay closed unless you locked it. The wind was that powerful. People were wiping out everywhere and it was shocking to us all since the day before was like spring.
Grocery Shopping in a Storm
Tomorrow we’re doing a big grocery run so I do hope it calms down. We try to get a month at a time so my husband comes along and we use two carts. We had one horrible experience at the grocery store one stormy evening.
We didn’t have a car so we called a taxi. The taxi showed up about a half hour later and said he could not fit all the groceries into his vehicle. He was supposed to call us another taxi. Another half hour went by. By this time, the store was closed and we were beginning to freeze.
My husband finally jumped in front of a truck and asked for assistance. He drove us home and we gave him some gas money. Anyway, lesson learned. Don’t go shopping if it’s storming out and you need a taxi because a lot of them will not be out there.
