Set the alarm because you have an appointment at 10 in the morning.  So I set it and this morning I dutifully hauled my dead butt out of bed, set the thermostat up so I could shower, went to the kitchen to make coffee, and poured a bowl of Special K with strawberries.  I check outside and found this.  Snowing like crazy, truck covered, and the road out front barely discernible.  This was going to be quite a morning. 

Yesterday I had taken Brandy to the Doggy Depot in Clio to be groomed, while at the same time, I was getting an oil change and tire rotation on my pick up at Simms Chevrolet.  Barry, my service manager had some not so good news for me.  It seems the tires were getting pretty crappy and he recommended replacing them very soon.  Now these tires came with the truck when we bought it in April of 2001 so we have gotten our moneys worth out of them.  So I had Barry ordered new ones to be put on as soon as they came in.  Thus my concern when checking the weather this morning. 

A thought occurred to me that maybe I should confirm the appointment time with the doctor’s office.  So I called and announced myself as the slightly retarded Mrs. Axsom and that I needed to confirm my appointment which my mind said was 10 am but my newly located appointment card said 3:10 pm.  The receptionist giggled as she replied 3:10 pm.  My mind said thank goodness because the snow and blowing may let up by then.  Of course it is now 18 degrees at 10:24 am and there is no relief yet.  But at least there will be some evidence of where the lanes of the road should be by then. 

I have spent the last hour or so visiting my blog buddies, reading e-mail, and posting so I think the time has come to play the domestic goddess.  I’ll start with mopping the kitchen, utility, and bathroom.  Then I will plan my next strategic move based on the time available before the E T A at the doctor’s office. 
I’ll visit later!
