Do you see how I'm making more of an effort to take a few minutes out of my day to update? So what if I'm not all that interesting - at least I'm trying!
So, the trip home today was, um, interesting. It started with me going out to my car today at 11:30am to brush off ALL of the snow. When I left at 12:00pm, my car was covered with another half inch. Not a good sign, really. I left my apt to go and pick Liz Hartman up at class (somewhere near Bradfield - I don' t know those buildings very well). As we drove to her apartment, my car decided that it didn't want to stop on University - I slid across the street (yes, that means into what could have been oncoming traffic) and up onto the sidewalk before my breaks decided to work. My car, as you may know, is not meant for going over curbs. Luckily, I think the other cars saw me lose control and decided not to start traveling. There was more fun down University, first stopping at Liz's (right before which I was actually driving on the wrong side of the road because I felt like it was safer, since cars had actually driven there) and then into downtown on my way out of town. Once I got off of University and onto a more plowed street such as Buffalo Ave, everything was fun, but let me tell you, those were some tense moments beforehand. It's 12:30pm, my speedometer is registering 0 mph yet I'm skidding all over the place, I have a flight at 5:05pm out of.... Buffalo. I was convinced I'd miss my flight. Lucky for me, outside of Ithaca, all is well, made good time to Buffalo (where my car is now safely parked in Liz H's garage), got to the airport an hour before my flight, the airport was dead, made it onto my flight on time, of course, and into O'Hare early.
And now I'm at home, and I'm thinking my whole plan to take over the office over Winter Break is not a good one. This is not looking like a very comfy pull-out sofabed. It'll work this weekend, and then I have three weeks to decide what I'm going to do with that lovely most of the month that I'll be home. Woohoo.
Exhausted now, need sleep....
