Friday to Friday-What a Week!

January 28th, will be a day I remember for at least a week. Returning from a business trip on Thursday night, just in time to be home for the mother of all snow storms to hit middle Tennessee the next morning.

Friday morning came, I jumped to my feet to look out the window only to find, nothing. I had planned on working from home because driving to Nashville would have been too dangerous according to the Channel ___'s (add your station) Weather. If I was as accurate as these guys, I would have been fired along time ago.

Waiting for the storm on Friday, I completed all my reports, watched and watched the sky. I was able to hit Ft. Campbell and retrieve my ironing, still watching the sky. Have lunch at the PX food court while watching the sky. Then made it home, while still watching the sky.

Friday night was a night from hell.

I had employees who could not make it to work, employees who could not make it out of work. Not just in Nashville, but Johnson City, Rockford, Knoxville, Gordonsville, Cleveland and Chattanooga. In all I took/made 83 phone calls from Friday night to Monday morning. I was changing schedules to make sure there was no missed coverage. To those who toughed it out and in some cases pulled a 24 hour shift.

I salute your dedication and service.

Thank you.

Our deck Saturday morning.
People say, "I love the snow. It's so pretty."

Not so pretty when Sammy dumps on the deck. (I found Sammy's little deposits today after the snow melted off the deck.)

Monday it was to the ortho doctor to look at my hand.

My thumb a year ago this week, after a great weekend with Graham in upstate NY. After the check up, no artritis, no bad breaks, just a skier's thumb.

My thumb today after steroid treatments this week. Looking good.

Monday after my orthopaedic appointment for my hand, it was off to Knoxville. Woo Hoo!

Thursday I was already to hit it again in Nashville, when I realized I had worked everyday since January 25th. So I took yesterday, Thursday as a day off, I went geocaching and relaxed.

Part of the green way at the end of Pollard Rd. Some snow remains.

Fencing on the green way.

Amazing, the weather forecasters on Channel____ are again predicting snow. I have already had one employee call tonight, February 6th at 12:29am about getting to work tomorrow.

Give me a break.

All in all a great week. Tomorrow we celebrate David's 34th birthday. Family get together, my favorite.
