This week we were hit with a rather large snow/ice storm and for two days we really couldn't go anywhere. I even had a doctor's appointment during this time and their office was closed - for two days! Crazy! After tomorrow Brad's school will have been closed all week which is highly unusual. I had to work, unfortunately, which I guess is one of the small downsides of working remotely from your house - no sick days and no snow days. Boo!
On Day 1 of the snow storm we did not even attempt to walk outside, but on Day 2 this is what our driveway looked like - you can't see it! The slush is the neighborhood road.

And finally Brad was so stir crazy that he shoveled part of the driveway and we made a break for it. We only drove a mile or two and we had to go about 15 miles per hour the entire time. Spartanburg was a ghost town and even Targent was closed! I thought that was funny.
I don't know what it is about the snow, but even I, Queen Homebody, start to feel a little caged in. Maybe it's just the thoughts that we can't go outside that drive us crazy. The caged-in feeling has only exacerbated my patience because during this snowy week time has almost stood still for me. I'm waiting on some news from my doctor and while I'm waiting I feel like the days are dragging by and each one is longer than the last. Thankfully, I have my work to keep me busy and I usually have something to do around the house or I cook a little here and there. Today I randomly made biscuits. I just felt like eating one and so I did. But overall I feel like this test of my patience is wearing me down. I just want the days to come and go so I can get some answers, but yet I feel like I am stuck in a weird time zone where nothing ever changes. I know eventually I will get an answer, and there's a good chance I won't like the answer. But let's just say it won't be the first time I've gotten that news. So good or bad, I just want to know. So listen up Mother Time - pick up the pace!
