Calgary weather: -28 plus wind chill. Countdown to Mexico: 18 days. : )
We were somewhat spared of the “friday storm” this week, although it still took me one long white-knuckled hour to get home from work on friday. We’ve had a deep freeze for most of the week, not passing a single sole on our dog walks is a tell tale sign. Today there was a 58 degree difference from here to PV. YIKES.
This week will be a busy one. I’m teaching for the next 3 days, the final week of the studnents’ block, Josh is in school. Thursday is get-serious packing day and hopefully 0 degrees outside. Friday Josh goes to school, the movers come to pick up our junk, and Nixon goes to daycare with one last Canadian swim in the dog pool. For the next 2 weeks, including Christmas we’ll be all bunking at my mom’s. We’ll basically saturate her with our presence so she won’t miss us as much, at least for the first few weeks maybe. I think the three of us are sick of the weather being an excuse not to go out. Even for dinner. I’m hungry. What’s in the pantry? Crappy cereal, stale granola bars, a can of beans, and a package of spagetti with no hope of sauce. The weeks’ dinner reserve is in the freezer which is a good thing because most of the kitchen is already in boxes.
