Hey kiddies. We're in the middle of some serious winter weather (ice storm, snow everywhere, blah, blah, blah). It rained ice on us most of last night. I had a doc appointment at 9 a.m. this morning because I've had a rotten sore throat for the last week. Before I could leave I had to de-ice my car. Hot water on the windshield and about five minutes of the heater blowing did the trick. I slipped and slid my way to the doc's office, only to find that there were NO doctors in the office. Just the receptionist, Rose. The doc I was supposed to see was stuck at his house because his garage door was frozen shut. I hung around about 15 minutes and another doc showed up. She looked at my throat and wrote me a couple of prescriptions, although none for Vicodin, damn her. Then I slipped and slid my way to Eckerd to fill the prescriptions. I was the only customer in the store. Lucky for me the pharmacist had made it in. (Very few people in Texas can drive on wet roads, much less icy ones.) The Eckerd manager greeted me perhaps a little too enthusiastically when I walked in the door. While I was waiting for my prescriptions he tried get me to play paddle ball with him. He said he'd gotten up to 100 hits in a row the other day. Why do strangers feel compelled to share things like that with me?

On the way home I passed three kids who were carrying snow sleds. (All DFW schools cancelled classes today.) One of the little girls smiled and waved at me. Just that one simple gesture wiped away all the grumpiness I was feeling because of the crappy road conditions. :) Thanks, anonymous little girl. I needed that.

So weird to think that TX is getting ice and here in FL I was wearing shorts and a babydoll tee today. I can't even recall the last time in 17 years I've been here that we actually had ice. We've had plenty of frost warnings, but I don't know that we've ever actually had ice. Hrm.

I hope you're feeling better! My husband has been bitching about the weather, because he's in Dallas on business. Boo-hoo to him. It was seven degrees here this morning.

Seriously, hope it warms up for you!!!
