I went to Emporia a little after noon today to get groceries. I didn’t need much so it didn’t take long. I didn’t have any other errands to do so came right home.
KU called me while I was in Emporia and canceled my appointment for tomorrow. We rescheduled it for Friday. Unfortunately it is a morning appointment so I will drive up Thursday afternoon so I don’t have to drive in rush hour traffic Friday morning.
Fortunately Nicole and Geoff are available to have dinner with me again Thursday night so that will make the trip worth it. I don’t look forward to taking a three hour mental acuity test but I have done it twice so what is once more.
Many schools and other things are already closing in anticipation of the storm coming through this evening and tomorrow. I have provisions tucked in and am ready to stay home until Thursday. Hopefully by Thursday the roads will be clear and I can make it to Emporia to do taxes in the morning and to KC for the night.
I made a pot roast for dinner tonight. Feels good to eat a good home cooked meal. I’m on a roll at this is two days back to back. Soup sounds good for tomorrow.
No plans for tomorrow and Wednesday except to stay inside warm and dry. I have the heater going in the bathroom and I will leave the water dripping overnight. It is to get to -3 tonight and the high for tomorrow is only going to be 6. It is to get to -12 Wednesday night. I really dislike bitterly cold weather.
Feeling a bit isolated. For some reason it feels like a long time since I have been out with friends. Maybe this weekend I can cook something up.
Grateful my cabinet and refrigerator are stocked for the incoming storm, grateful for space heaters and furnaces that keep the house warm, and grateful I can stay in during the storm tomorrow.
