    I remember the agency being a ghost town any time it snowed, all the clinicians would be there and every single client stayed home. Could never get the director to understand that and let us go home early... so we turned it into bring snacks-do paperwork-then hang out and chat day.

    Well, last year, the clinic actually closed 3 days, which I guess is unusual. Since we are FFS, it's up to us. It is snowing now, and this is exactly the time my first person was scheduled. My boss knows the inner Arizonan comes out in me on these days. I live close, and my car is aweome in snow, but it still is not fun for me to drive in it. I had many horrific drives when I had a 40 mile commute to work, back in the mid nineties. This was when schools didn't close so easily, and a couple of blizzards started while we were at school. Now, I think computer models are more accurate (today sure is), so they cancel ahead of time. I remember as a kid, being released early, the bus getting stuck in the snow, and ending up having to walk "2 miles in a blizzard."

    I'm getting so excited, we're going home to IL for a few days next week! I've got a haircut scheduled as well as breakfast/lunch/dinner with various friends, and coffee with my old boss. I can't wait.

    Had a wonderful time in Illinois, it was so fun catching up with friends and enjoying our favorite bars and restaurants. Equally glad to be back home here in Florida... going home reminds me why we moved.

    I am feeling better. Now, I just wish my eyes would stop itching.
    Hoping to ride at least 20 miles today, without the wind that was out there yesterday.

    I had that eye itching thing for about three weeks last month, it was maddening.

    Had an interview in my current field yesterday (academic libraries) and it went very very well. Heard from one of my references that they already called her and were super impressed with me and my skill set, so yay!

    The job working with felons in work release is still out there as well, just caught in the endless background check cycle (dependant upon state police and FBI "getting around" to their part).

    We are moving March 16th. Almost everything is packed, except a few things I need for the next 2 weeks. We are bringing it all over ourselves. Actually going to start unpacking and putting away kitchen stuff this weekend. The movers will only be bringing furniture, so the price is half of the original estimate.
    Our painter is finishing up over the next week or so, the shades are in, just need to be installed. Doing the punch list of things we need, like new towels, shower curtains, and bath mats, key pads for the doors, etc. DH is busy ordering as I type, and we will go buy the bath stuff over the next few days. Once the painting is done the shades will be installed, the bathroom cabinets will go up, and the living room furniture we bought in October will be delivered.
    Now we just need to sell our house. Looking at putting it back on the market April 1st.
