Well, we made it home with absolutely no problems. The highway was still closed when we tried to go home about 9:30 p.m., but the CDOT workers let us go home on the back highway since we were only going to Byers. We didn't know why the highway was closed as the wind was not that bad and I saw no evidence of snow. Watching the WB2 news last night, though, I know why they had it closed. Less than another 50 miles to the East, it snowed really bad. They were showing pictures of mud/snow drenched cars and huge piles of muddy snow. Amazing. Since there has been no moisture to speak of lately, all the farmer's fields are dust bowls. The high winds whipped up all that dust and combined with the snow to make it absolutely impossible to see. What a mess it created.
Well, I'm waiting to hear from Marcus. He's supposed to arrange for a tow truck to take my car to town. Since it hasn't started for four days now, I'm confident the mechanic will find what is really wrong with it this time. So, I'm stuck home all day. I'll have to venture over to the post office later and if the wind doesn't kick up too bad I'll try to get to the bank, too. I really need some more sleep, but I'm sure that the tow would show up just as I fell asleep or something.
I hate days like today. My to-do list is miles long, I know I should be doing something productive (since I'm always complaining that I never have time to do stuff I need to do), but I have absolutely no motivation to get anything done. This is a major problem when one only gets one day off a week. The first day off is usually resting from the work week and the second is the kick-ass, get stuff done day. I'm seriously thinking of calling in to work tomorrow if my car is not done so I can get some stuff done around here. We'll see.
