Quite the Day

We've had colder weather this week and even a little snow yesterday morning. Funny how the first snow of the season can wreak havoc on us all here in Minnesota. We should be able to deal with these things, but every year it's the same ... roads get icy and people don't remember to slow down. Bruce's car was bumped into yesterday on his way to work, and although there wasn't a lot of damage done, it was just the start of a very long, exhausting day. My commute into work lasted an hour and a half. I'm still not sure why as I didn't see any accidents along the way, but I have a suspicion that the traffic lights were off and working against each other. Bruce's flights to Detroit got messed up and in the middle of it all, we found out that Grandma Gloria had fallen and was taken to the ER for evaluation. Thankfully she didn't hit her head or break a hip, I was able to get her back home in time for supper, and so it all ended up fine. Nick started his new job yesterday, too, as if that isn't stressful enough on its own. Jake, by the way, was his usual wonderful self and took care of things at home while we battled the day. We were all quite glad when the day was over and we could go to bed. Today? Much better.
