The Adventures of the Little Indian Girl

We are still blanketed with a lot of snow everywhere. Mostly because it's the added on snow ploughed from the roads and the pavements. So, as I walk onto the pavement there are two walls sandwiching me! Although - hang on, I haven't been walking about on the pavements. I have been on house arrest in fear of ice on pavements. Every morning MIL starts off with a "good morning and will there be ice on the road" question. I explain to her that as the temperatures fall below zero overnight, whatever snow that has melted will most likely evaporate during the day or freeze up overnight. Stupid me, gets myself in trouble - as it follows with, "well, in that case you shouldn't go out!"

So, I have been sitting at home the last three days. Monday of course, I myself dared not venture out as there was just too much ice and the roads/pavements were not really cleared yet. Our office was closed anyhow. And mostly hubby was back and I was ever so excited to have him back. So, even otherwise I was planning to take the day off! 

Tuesday, I was ready to go and the above conversation occured. This morning,  I spoke with my director (who now is in Luxembourg) and found that no one else would be at office. So, I need not go if I wished. So, I am at home doing some work and then have the day free! 

And oh my God, Tuesday I was so emotionally strung up, I was crying over everything. I was getting upset over everything. N was so surprised! Yesterday, I did go out to help him shovel off the snow off the car. I had to get the clothes out of the dryer and so went down a bit later. By then he had already finished. But after all our squabbles, it was a nice "reunion"! We took a short walk together and then headed back home! He is a sweatheart, did I mention?!

So, there are a lot of things to do before our trip comes up on Friday and I'd better get started!
