We have a two hour delay today which is normally fine but of course I have a first round interview today right when I should be leaving to take dd so she will have to be tardy which she hates.
Of course this means she is trying to negotiate just staying home all day

I'm sitting at my desk drinking coffee for the first time after almost a month of spending most of my days at the new house working on it. The plumbers and electricians are there today so I get a day off to actually try to catch up on my day job. And hopefully by the end of the day we'll have have lights, outlets, running water, and a motherfucking toilet.

It's a snow day which means I'm working from home while everyone else is also home and contemplating how I've yet to create an office with a door that shuts.
The kids are quiet, but DH has reached that old man stage where the tv has to be on at full volume so that everyone in the house can hear it. Need to find my noise cancelling headphones.

And FB reminded me that we had a plumber working on the kitchen at our current house 13 years ago today. Ha!

The weather app says we got 10.55 inches of wintery mix in the last 24 hours, but I think there is only about 4 inches of snow. It did rain for a while yesterday before it switched to snow, but that still seems inaccurate. Whatever. The kids have a “virtual learning” day today, but I really just want to take them outside to play. I understand why the want to count it as a school day, but snow days should be sacred, spent watching tv, building snowmen, and drinking hot chocolate.

I am SO GLAD school is back in today. We can finally get back on our normal schedule.
I think we're going to try a new dojo next week. B has been "on a break" since August and I really think he needs to get back into it.

Interview is done and sounds right for me. I have to do an excel assessment which should be easy but also I’m doing a free one as a brush up

The kids are home on an elearning day due to high winds/tornado threats. H also took the day, surprisingly. One kid has finished his work for the day and is now gaming with friends, the other is sequestered in his bedroom. H has already inquired 3 times as to when I am going to be able to eat lunch.
Meanwhile I need about eleven billionty more hours in every 24 hour period to get caught up on work but I get distracted by every gust.

I don't understand this part but I do understand the weather anxiety. I came in to work early in the hopes of leaving early to get home before anything floods.

Our district doesn't do elearning days since too many kids don't have access to internet, so my kids just don't have school today. They were excited for no school, but it's not a fun day to be home.

We have a snow day here so I slept in. DH stayed home from work too so we're all just hanging out. We've gotten 9 inches of snow so far and it's going to snow for a few more hours. My oldest has dance tonight but I'm guessing that will be canceled.
I work this evening and I'm nervous about the roads. I would normally take DH's 4 wheel drive vehicle but it's being repaired because someone hit him and so he has a rental right now. I really hate driving in winter. The snow is supposed to stop before I have to drive but it's supposed to be windy so it will still be bad.

It's been really chilly here (well, SoCal chilly, so low to mid 60's and lows in the 40's) and the construction crew took all of the stucco off the back of my house yesterday and brr. The house was built in the 60's so the amount of insulation in the walls to begin with was minimal and now that there's nothing covering it, we had to keep the heater running all night just to keep the house above 65. One of the upgrades we went with was to replace all of the original insulation in the attic and the new bedroom is going to have extra insulation and I can't wait. Being an adult is so dumb when attic insulation is exciting

It’s just another distraction from work.

lizblue , I hope you and your husband are able to attend the funeral. How are you feeling today? I am feeling a tiny bit better but H and DD tested positive today. It is not looking good for us to attend the funeral on Saturday. I'm really sad.

So luckily I got sent the wrong assessment and didn’t get far into it. I can do all but one thing on excel and that’s find swings…… I’m not a data Analyst I’m an assistant 😭😭

How is it only Tuesday? I had jury duty today, but kept my streak going of never leaving the jury room. We were dismissed at noon so I stopped and got myself some lunch. So nice to eat by myself.
