It's been one crazy week! We got about 13" of snow on Tuesday and have been pretty much homebound ever since. Tulsa doesn't get too much snow, so the roads are STILL snow packed, and it's been pretty treacherous trying to get around. Fortunate John has helped out a lot with his four-wheel drive truck. He's occasionally brought food and chauffered us around. He and Becky helped me clear the sidewalk and driveway, too. I finally got out today, because I felt guilted by an email from our managing partner yesterday announcing the office was up and running. (After making the dicey trip over there, I realized he hasn't made it to the office once this week.) Anyway, it was a difficult trek this morning, but it was snowing pretty good at lunch time, and they upped the expected snowfall to 4-6 inches. At that point, I took out and resumed my working from home. That's AFTER I helped dig several cars out of the snow in front of my house. I did get to meet a handsome neighbor of mine who lives around the loop from me. I love the new sense of community in Tulsa in the midst of weather crises!
Speaking of crises... here are some of my favorite terms for this snow storm:
Blizzaster
Snowmageddon
Snowpocalypse
Blizzard of Oz (for my favorite neighbors to the north)
Snowklahoma (for my Okie homies)
So, work has been a bit challenging. I definitely haven't gotten a full eight hours in any day this week. But, it's been nice to work from home and get to commisserate with friends about snow, life and our favorite TV shows. Oh yes... Happy (belated) Groundhog Day! I did celebrate by watching the movie. It's a classic!
That's about it for now. I'm packing and preparing for the warmer, welcome-weather of the Western Carribbean. :) Weather permitting, I'm headed there tomorrow morning. Have a good week, peeps. I'm goin' dark.
