2017 – Day 12

Thursday, January 12, 2017

And school’s closed again today (third day this week) due to weather.  The Grant County Airport is reporting a temperature of -23º with windchill and district policy states that school will be closed whenever there’s a sustained temperature of -15º or below.

I don’t mind snow days; it allows me to get caught up on work, but it would have been nice if this had fallen of a Friday – that way I could have left for home earlier.


Another productive day.  I’m at my local Starbucks enjoying an iced soy mocha and working on two-step and multi-step equations for my College Algebra course.  

I’ve been happy with my weight routine, although I’m not taking weight off very quickly, I’m noticing that my shirts around my chest are getting tighter, but looser around my mid-section.  I think I’m putting on muscle mass and I recall reading somewhere that muscle had twice the density of fat so here’s hoping. 😉  Weight has been hanging around 269 lbs.  I really want to be down around 230.  I’ll modify my diet next week – I cannot live on ham sandwiches.

I’m going to tonight’s school board meeting to represent the Transportation Department.  I’ll only stay an hour; I have to be up and drive the roads at 3:00 AM.

There’s been three days without school this week due to weather; I hope we’re on tomorrow, but there’s a part of me that wouldn’t mind another “snow day” so I can go home early and be with my Boo.  I’m so looking forward to the three-day weekend.
