Monday Mania

There’s nothing like freezing rain and a good dumping of snow to add some chaos to the day.  Yesterday the world was brown and this morning we were greeted with drifts of snow and icy streets.  I decided not to drive to work and instead took the bus.  That didn’t go so well as my bus was late and I missed my transfer.  When I finally got on the transfer bus I wasn’t sure I would get to my destination intact.  The bus slid through my stop when picking me up and then fish-tailed turning the next corner.  A city bus…fish-tailing…that’s just a bit scary.  And the bus had to take the freeway to get to my destination.  The words “We’re all going to die” DID pass through my mind!  In the end, it took almost 1 1/2 hours to get to work.  I would have got there sooner if I had walked!  Coming home was somewhat better but as soon as I got home I had to rush to scrape the ICE off the car to get my daughter off to swimming lessons.  So here I am, at the pool, waiting for lessons to end so I can head out into the ice and snow again.  Welcome to Saskatchewan in November!
