It is freaking cold as hell outside--and inside.  It is -15 (that's fifteen degrees BELOW!) at the moment--and that is not with wind chill.  That is the actual temperature.  UGH. 

When I went to bed last night, there were already a few schools announcing late starts for today.  When I woke up this morning, I turned on the TV and there were more, including Triton, which is the local school district here.

My school posted a late start shortly after that.  I turned off the alarm and tried to go back to sleep, but of course I couldn't.  So, I got up and brushed my teeth and am now on the internet writing this little entry.

The following school districts are two hours late:
  • Albert Lea (You know it is bad when a big district like this has a two hour late start)
  • Blooming Prairie
  • Byron
  • Caledonia
  • Cannon Falls
  • Chatfield
  • Dover-Eyota
  • Fillmore Central
  • Goodhue
  • Hayfield
  • Houston
  • Kasson-Mantorville
  • Kenyon-Wannamingo
  • Lake City
  • Lanesboro
  • Lewiston
  • Lyle
  • Mabel-Canton
  • NICC Cresco Center
  • NRHEG (where my brother's kids go)
  • Pine Island
  • Plainview-Elgin
  • ROC
  • Rushford-Peterson
  • Spring Grove
  • St. Charles
  • St Paul Lutheran
  • Triton
  • Wabasha-Kellogg
  • Winona
  • ZED Alternative
  • Zumbrota-Mazeppa
I am sure no one cares that all these schools are two hours late, but it always gives me a little thrill to see HOW MANY kids are rejoicing that their school is either closed or two hours late.  LOL.

The last thing I need right now are snow days because my seniors are booked to give their presentations EVERY DAY from today to the end of the quarter.  If we have ANY snowdays that make us miss 4th hour, we are screwed.  I will have to have them come in and give their presentations during my prep or before or after school.

It's looking likely (or at least possible) that we will have a snow day again tomorrow.  At this point they are saying 2-4 inches then blowing snow once it stops actually snowing.  Now, they were saying 2-4 for this last bunch, and we had 6 inches here.  So, suffice it to say, I will believe it when I see it.

I feel better today, but still feel quite tired.  I shouldn't feel tired as I slept almost all day yesterday and slept very well last night.  I did dream, but my dreams were not noteworthy last night.

I actually feel hungry today, so I might make some scrambled eggs--at least  I will get some protein into my body.

Thursday.

We have started off the day well, i guess.  No one is bleeding or crying, so life is good. 

we did have one small bit of drama.  my secret Santa had left a present on my desk--a bag of m&ms and a glass jar in the shape of a christmas tree.  i poured the m&ms into the jar, and kids have been snacking on them all morning.

Brooke came in, saw the jar, and asked if she could have some.  "Sure," I said.  So, she took a small handful and ate them.  A few minutes later, she came in announcing that she was "such a dumb ass."  Then she told us that she wasn't supposed to be eating anything today as she had surgery at 10:45 on her feet.  I told her she had to tell the doctors, but she said she has waited forever for this surgery, and her feet hurt.  (It's for a bunyon).

so, we compromised by her agreeing to call the nurse hotline and ask what's the worst that would happen.  Well, she was on hold for 10 minutes or so there, so i told her to hang up and we would call my friend Kim in South Carolina who is a nurse. 

i put Kim on the phone with Brooke, and she had a good chat with her.  Kim is a good person.  Brooke listened well to what Kim had to say.

I hope she will confess to her doctor what she ate.  it was only 5-10 m&ms, but who knows how that would affect a surgery?

My feet have been freezing for a week in my school room, so today I am wearing two pairs of socks.  My feet are warmer, but they still aren't snuggly warm as I would like them to be.

Sigh.

Not much else new yet.  It is my day to serve in the store, which i hate, as my knee hurts so bad when I am standing for any length of time.  I took a couple of tylenol a bit ago.  Hopefully that will help.

Probably because there is a weather system moving in again, my knee is aching.  that sucks.
