Oh boy, am I glad we had an early appointment at the COVID clinic to get our second vaccine today. I looked out my window first thing this morning and saw that there was a glaze of ice on everything. There was no body traveling up the street and no track of cars that had. That was at 0730. Around 0800 I called the clinic and the lady I talked to said they were still open today and doing shots. I asked her how the streets were and she said she had not had any trouble getting to work. So, I told Ms. Kate, we might as well give it a go. Our appointment was for 1010 so we goto our selves ready and about 0900 we decided to head out. Our drive was ice covered but I threw out a bunch of ice melt around 0830 and it had done a little magic and we had no trouble getting down. We weren’t sure how or if we would be able to get back up. But, we took it slow through the subdivision and when we got on the main road it was wet but did not appear to be too slick.
Once we got on the main highway it was much better and for once, people were driving like they had some sense. We got to to clinic and were done with our vaccines by 0930, had to wait our required 15 minutes and then headed home again. The trip went fine and we got back home and were able to get on up the drive and safely back in the garage and house with no problem. I give thanks to God for our safe trip each direction.
We ate a little breakfast, had a little coffee, and then took a nap. Now —- I look out the window and the garage and it is literally raining ice pellets and sleet. The street is covered with it. And I am happy I don’t have any reason to go outside or drive to anywhere. Tomorrow is garbage can collection day but I think that I will not take my can down. I don’t want to even think about falling out there on the ice and I only have a couple of of bags of trash in the can. It can wait a week.
Wow! I just saw a UPS truck go zipping up the hill so that’s a scary thought.
Okay, have a great day. Stay warm, stay inside, any in touch with The Lord. Peace.
