I Could Tell It Was Monday When....

I woke up later than usual. It shouldn't matter since I don't need to be at work till noon. But my morning routine of coffee in the hot tub was changed due to a severe north wind, 3 inches of new snow and the fact the Ellen would be on in only 1/2an hour. That meant I had to rush through my shower, scarf down my breakfast and skip doing my makeup (the teenagers I work with won't notice). I settled down for my chat with the girls from the View and while I know they can't hear me, I feel we have a certain rapport just the same.

I went to warm up the car. I pressed the command start button. Nothing. Kept trying -only 14 more times then realized the car battery was dead. I have a booster pack in the trunk of my car. However, the one key I have for the car doesn't fit into the trunk. Odd. Without the battery, the manual trunk button doesn't work. Also, the remote starter should open the trunk but it too, needs power.

Finally got the booster pack out of my son's car, started mine, missed the last 10 minutes of The View and was on my way. The 3 inches of snow on my deck was 5 inches on the highway. The tracks made by bigger trucks were tricky to follow since I was blinded by the snow. Only had 2 near misses with the ditch and one with a really big truck. I made it to work. Oh happy day.

Now the day holds more challenges - will my car start? are the roads going to be passable? will there be any Easter Dinner leftovers? will anyone read this and care?

Tomorrow will be a better day. If not, heads will roll.
