Same 'ol Same 'ol...
23 degrees. Wind chill of 11 degrees. Ice, snow...
I HATE WINTER!!!!!
I am so cold typing this I can barely feel my fingers.
I have no internal heater... I can go snuggle under my electric blanket on high for hours and still be like ice...
Several times my body temperature (normal: 98.6) goes down as low as 91... Hurts like hell when that happens...
I HATE WINTER!!!
I am dreaming of somewhere nice and hot... Or at least a building with better heat than my house...lol The thermometer says it's 50 in here... The son says he isn't cold, but IM freezing...
Why does winter have to be sooooo loooong!?
Several people at work have now been written up for "low sales"... If you make less money on your shift than they did on that date that shift last year, and other people that week made more on that shift, you get written up. Three of these and you are fired. What are we supposed to do, stand out in the highway and flag them in??
We also have things called secret shoppers... They come around anonymously and rate your store on your friendliness, and cleanliness. Get under a 50% and you are automatically fired, no matter that you work the whole store by yourself most shifts, and no matter how busy you are, or what the person before you left the store looking like... If you call in sick you are automatically labeled as "unreliable"... Several sick calls in one month and you are written up. *sigh* I really want a new job....
the $300 electric bill is due on Thursday... I have no money to pay it... Hope they will hold out a week...
All the ice today has caused lots of wrecks... There was one just outside of town before I left work involving two semi's and two cars... Sounded pretty bad...
Just nasty weather all around... I am glad I am home for the day, but R still has to drive 30 miles in it to get home... Hope he makes it all right...

I'm very sorry. It sucks to be forced to live under those conditions.
Kansas is such a wonderful state. Too damned humid in the summer, too cold in the winter, the wind blows all the time and there is always someone of "superior morality" to tell you what you're doing wrong.
Hang in there, girl.
Diane... It can be 90 degrees outside and if I get chilled, I can't get warm...lol...I love the snow too, as long as it's cold we night as well get snow, but fighting ice all over my car in below freezing temps is not a nice thing...lol
Buffalo... I actually love Kansas... mostly in the summer...lol I love 100 degree days, and the smell of wheat stubble and those yellow wildflower/weeds that grow along the edges of the roads (not the sunflowers, the tall stinky ones...lol) and I love it's history... I just hate it's winters...
I will hang in there... Got no choice, far as I can see... Been living like this for 20 years, It won't get me down long...
