Wednesday’s Woes

When I left for work on Wednesday, it was just starting to snow. No big deal. But, by the time I got to Farmington and Plymouth Road, it was getting slippery. And by the time I turned onto Market Street, I had to turn on the four-wheel drive.

It snowed all morning long. It looked like a White Christmas!

I had planned on going to Westland and the Red Robin for lunch. I have it on good authority that they have great onion rings and I have been jonesing about onion rings for a long, long time.

But it took me almost 10 minutes to clean the snow and ice off the truck, and I decided it wasn’t worth it.

Sidebar: We had about three inches of snow on the ground at that time. The main roads had been plowed and salted, though, so travel wasn’t that much of a problem,

So, I went to Time Out and got a bowl of split pea soup (excellent, if under salted – but I fixed that) and a turkey Rueben (bland – blah!)

Back at work, I read until 1:00 p.m. It was still snowing…

It had almost stopped when I went home at 5:00 p.m. The roads were slushy, but not too bad, so it only took a few minutes extra to get there.

Sidebar: We got a total of about four inches of snow here in Redford,

Once inside, I treated the cat, changed clothes and started the Wednesday wash.

I ate the last two halves of leftover acorn squash for dinner. Once the laundry was folded or hung up and all put away, I figured I’d pretty much nailed it so I took the rest of the night off.
