The temperature around here has stayed around… really cold (-2F out right now, and the high today is 8F). We got some weather alerts on our phones about a storm that was coming in on Thursday. Well, we didn’t get out of work until 9pm and it had already snowed a bit. The roads weren’t too bad but when I tried to pull onto our road my car lost traction and I was stuck. Ezra got out and gave me a push until I managed to get far enough out of the snow to regain traction and make it up our road. Friday we didn’t have to go anywhere, thank goodness. So we stayed home and enjoyed watching the snow fall while being warm inside. Saturday when we left for work I lost traction briefly pulling off our road and onto the highway, but that was the only time and it didn’t cause any problems.
Saturday after work we attended our first ever Staff Book Club. We’re going to be reading Round House by Louise Erdrich. It won the National Book Award this past year so I look forward to digging into it. I promised Ezra that as I read it I would read it out loud to him since he’s not one for sitting down and curling up with a book. This way we can get through it together and both talk about it at our next book club meeting.
I finished my first online grad school class Friday! I think it’s funny that one week after having access to the class I’m done. Okay, so I’m not officially done. There is one assignment where I have to attend a collaboration session and all the sessions last week were already full, so the soonest I could attend was today. My session is tonight at 5pm MST. Once I attend that I’ll be able to finish the assignment and then I’ll really and truly be done with Libr203. I look forward to starting my other two classes next week when they become available.
Well, that’s all the news from our neck of the woods. Hopefully next week will be a little more exciting.
