It's a good thing school is closed today. I slept on my neck wrong and can't turn my head. That's a liability in a City School classroom.
Tomorrow and Friday are Professional Development days without students. I'm thinking this neck thing, and my sinus infection, are good reasons to use sick time, of which I have about 150 unused hours.
Five-day weekend! Woot.

If you saw the quality of winter driving here, you'd understand the need to shut these cities down. It's a sad state of affairs. I spent a January in Ann Arbor once on business and was thrilled to be around people who can handle snow without inordinate panic.
ReplyDeleteI learned to drive in Texas, so to be honest, I'm not that comfortable driving in snow either. I think it snowed one time when I was 19 or so, and I spent hours doing donuts in various parking lots.
ReplyDeleteThat said, it isn't that difficult to drive in snow, just have to brake earlier than expected.
