Sunday Night

Yes, yes, my birthday is tomorrow. But if we were going to do a family dinner or anything it would have been today because it's easier on a weekend. What actually happened was that R has spent the afternoon here and she and K are out now picking up the Chinese food (for me and the Hubs) and the sushi (for them.) Which is just fine with me. I had thoughts about going to a vegan Chinese restaurant we often go to for occasions, but I just didn't want to deal with going anywhere on the icy roads. R, who will of course have to drive home on the icy roads, is a very good driver, and I won't be with her so I won't be anybody's nervous passenger. I'd rather just stay in.

Of course, there's school tomorrow, and the chances of the parking lot being sanded are zero because they just don't do that. They plow the lot and the sidewalks, but no sand, so the parking lot will be treacherous. We had snow all day yesterday, although not much, and freezing ice all last night, and anything that melted in the sun today -- and the temps never really got to 30 -- is freezing again now that it's dark. So tomorrow won't be good, but I don't have far to go, either driving or walking, and teachers calling out makes a day of work more likely for K.

I managed to get in another good workout today, although I did the yoga in the morning and the rest of it in the afternoon. I guess I'll try to squeeze in the yoga, at least, tomorrow morning. I've got my clothes out already, and I expect to get my lunch put together tonight too.

Did I mention that the boyfriend's mother's birthday is Tuesday? Odd, eh? Two years younger, I hear. That should make for an interesting future conflict for the kids.

Okay, food's here.
