Winter is known for interesting weather. One day, the weather could be in the 50's, and later that same week, we could have a blizzard. This is one of those weeks.
Earlier this week, the weather was in the 50's, and it was a nice day to go out wearing a lightweight coat and a sweater underneath. Today, the weather was in the high 30's, and people were at the supermarkets stocking up in preparation for the coming blizzard.
This morning, I got up early, so that I could return a book to the local library, and then decided to take a long ride just to get some free air for one of my tires. (I have a slow leak in one tire, and wanted to make sure that I didn't need to inflate it in bad weather.) While out, I noticed how busy the supermarkets were, and was glad that I stocked up on things a few days ago. I was also glad that I postponed a zoom meeting with my ex boss until tomorrow - neither of us would be going out, and it made sense to use forced downtime for our virtual get together than a day which I expected might be busy preparing for the coming snow.
By the time I got home, I was very tired. But I had no time to take a good nap. Instead, I had to get proof that I had health insurance lined up for 2021, and no extra time to take care of this. New York's Obamacare exchange was closing up shop earlier than last year, so I had only the 6 week window to have paperwork in hand saying that I had purchased a plan for the coming year. After a phone call and logging into the exchange site, I had that paperwork in hand, and had what I needed to fight "city hall" if needed.
Next, it was a co-op board meeting. Things ran better than expected, and the meeting was quicker than usual. However, I had to bug out early - I had a Tuesday night meeting of my Texas Zoom Meetup group to attend. (I'll have to talk with the president of the co-op in the morning about me bailing out.) Around 8:30, I made it to the meetup group, and only one of the group was left online. We chatted for 30 minutes, and then I was free for the evening.
Hopefully, tomorrow's weather won't be as bad as expected. At least, I have my snow shovel upstairs just to be safe....
