I have been lax again with my posting. Facebook takes up so much time going through it that I have to leave the computer and get some things done.
The cold weather continues. We had more snow on Tuesday. The roads got cleared up right away but Chorale was canceled. I liked getting a break but I really need the practice as our concert is coming up soon on March 22. St. Rose's has a Mardi Gras and Pancake Tuesday dinner that I was able to enjoy without rushing off to practice.
Wednesday afternoon, my niece, Cheryl, her husband, Ed and son, Ethan and I went to Glasgow Park in Delaware where they have a big hill that is great for sledding. What a disappointment to see the hill bare. Evidently, they didn't get as much snow as we. It is only a 15 minute drive from here. Most I guess got sledded off on Tuesday. We were able to sled down the north side but there was very little snow there and it was a shorter run. What made it really bad is that the snow cover was so thin that the goose droppings came through and were all over the place. Getting up out of the toboggan was a challenge. As was climbing back up the hill.
Wednesday night, I went to the Lenten Soup and Ash Wednesday Service at the Ebenezer AME. It is located way out in the sticks on a lane that looks like a driveway to a horse farm. The entrance to the drive is easy to miss especially in the dark.
The temperature has been hovering around zero the past few mornings, dipping to -2 at sunrise with a windchill of -15. It's been horrid.
I don't remember much of Thursday. On Friday, I had to see the doctor. I was not sick but needed my prescription refilled. I haven't been to see her for 8 months so she wanted me to come in. I didn't like going in with all the people who have the flu and the germs were probably all over the office. She gave me the new pneumonia shot and had some blood work done to make sure my medication didn't have any side effects. All was well. She also scheduled some routine tests and it's been 2 years since they were done. UG!
Now, I am awaiting another storm this afternoon. We're expecting 3 to 5 inches and then 2 to 3 inches of sleet turning to rain on Sunday. What a mess that will be. I wonder if we'll be having church.
