Weather Notes

Every year we get together with Joe's family a week or two before Christmas, either in Columbus or in Steubenville. This year it's in Columbus, nice for us, less than an hour's drive. It's always fun and I really enjoy Joe's family.

But every year the weather becomes an uninvited guest. Some members of the family get really paranoid at the mention of snow. It is December and there is a chance of snow, but the amount of attention paid to the weather channel seems excessive. This year it's all about freezing rain due Saturday evening, hopefully by which time everyone will be home and in their own beds.

Again, we're back to worrying about things that we can't control and that may never happen. This morning the local school district closed due to snow and my husband didn't want me to go to my rehab appointment. I don't know what it was like when the school closed at 5 am, but at 8:30 am the major roads were totally clear and even our road was just a bit slushy. I used the walker to go to the car just to be on the safe side and even made it early into my appointment.

Maybe it's because I am determined not to miss any rehab appointments, but neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor any of that stuff will deter me.
