Zero temperatures that is. It's been quite a while since this gal dealt with frigid air (not frigidere..lol) and nature sort of amazes me. I was all set for an interview in Denver when the first wave of Very cold air and snow blew in. Last week I had been doing yard work in short sleeves and then presto- change-oh!! How do you like the -11 temperatures when you are outside smoking? lol..I did not freeze to death, but it's not very pleasant. It kind of made me realize what lengths I can go to hold on to nicotine addiction. My father was afraid that he would find me frozen to the chair outside his office door, but that did not happen.
I had told myself that I would be quitting, I'm just afraid to quit without some medical help because I know that I will need help..patches for the day and a Xanax at night, at least till I stop wanting to light up. I have No health insurance at the moment.
The interview had to be rescheduled because when I got onto I-25 South ( at 4 degrees F) I could feel my car sliding in my lane only going 25 mph. I could not see me driving 80 miles like that back and forth. I am feeling a bit desperate for a job now. So many applications and no responses. I have two pending possibilities and I AM crossing my fingers that one of them will see what a great worker I can be. Sounds like I am bragging but I come from a generation who does work hard. We expect to be recognized for such as well. I have little patience for people who constantly whine instead of working. (the urge to smack them upside the head is tempting to me.)
We will be moving back to more normal temperatures for this time of year in about a weeks time. As long as there are no more 'polar vortexes' that is. Funny, the image that comes to mind when I hear polar vortex is from the movie "The Day After Tomorrow." In that movie there were hurricane like formations of clouds that pulled sub-zero temperatures down from the upper Troposphere causing everything inside the eye of the storm to instantly freeze. So yeah, I think this new weather word is designed to make people afraid. It's always wise to have common sense in any serious weather situation,, but I think that they use it more for dramatic media effect.
Shoveled today, a good 7 inches of powder is on the ground. Not as heavy to move as the snows we had back east, but damn, it was cold! My cheeks were stinging..my face..not my butt, lol.
