Snow followed a bout of sleet before midnight. I woke up to nasty roads and ice everywhere this morning. I thought I could manage to get down the four steps to the parking lot without clutching the railing for dear life. Apparently, I was wrong. I busted my ass and smacked my lower back on the step I had so gracefully stepped off of a fraction of a second previously. The older lady climbing into her SUV informed me that there was ice on the sidewalks. I knew; I was sitting on that ice.
But I'm good. It actually didn't hurt all that badly, but I do expect to see a huge bruise on my lower back when I get home. I waited an hour before attempting to traverse the stupid city streets. Albuquerque has no idea how to clear streets. And over half of my commute is on state roads which aren't cleared at all because the state crews are working on the interstates. Needless to say, Ferguson and I managed to crawl into work at 9:30 this morning. The parking lot of the office was a sheet of ice. Poor Ferguson was sliding all over the place, too. I think things haven gotten better since then, and I shouldn't have any difficulty getting home.
I'm ready for spring. I'm also ready to go home for the day, but I still have another ninety minutes before five o'clock. Sloooooow.
