Filing a Complaint
I am breaking or recent blog silence not to post cute photos from Thanksgiving, which we have but I haven't gotten around to downloading yet, or to talk about the grand adventure of decorating for Christmas with Simon's "help," which I've also been meaning to write about...no, I just feel the need to file a complaint with the commuting gods. Granted, I have been very lucky to have had virtually no bad weather so far this semester. But today's storm/blizzard in progress was another matter. I decided to cancel my evening class in hopes of beating the worst of the storm home. The result: my normal commute which typically takes 1.5 hours from Minneapolis to Rochester stretched out to 3.75 hours. Yep, I left when it was still daylight at 4:15, and didn't pull in until 8:00 pm. Geesh! (Of course, I am grateful I got home safely at all...but I would have preferred to do it in just a couple hours!) Last I heard, Rochester is supposed to get over 12 inches by tomorrow morning--hello winter! (Tomorrow I will try to resist filing a complaint about a big storm arriving the day my husband leaves town for a retreat!)

Complain away, Jessica! Please take care of yourself and "Poppy" above all else. I remember three hour commutes to get home on snowy nights - and I will completely enjoy being snowed in tomorrow with nowhere I have to go. Unemployment has its up side. Tell Andy to take care, too - if he even goes tomorrow. Dad came back early from training in Milwaukee tonight to beat the storm. We're both happy to be safely snuggled in.
Love,
Mom

yuck yuck yuck!! Sorry you had that experience...I was secretly glad to still be on maternity leave and to avoid a similar experience... Commuting has downfalls...but you won't have to commute forever - hopefully!! Let's hope you can WALK to future employment...provided by the commuting gods, right?! You will have earned it...;-)
