The Waiting Room

• Sweet merciful crap, it's COLD! I know it's bad when the Boy does even want to go out, or when he does, he does his business and runs back in the house, without stopping to bark at stuff or roll around in the snow.
• Wow.. it's 10 degrees with a wind chill of -10. Heat wave!!!!
• I cancelled my 8 AM class. My joints just cannot function in this kind of weather. I also figured that many students would be a no show. I sent an email to my class last night telling them I was going to cancel. Hopefully, they listened when I told them to check their email when we have weather issues.
• I am getting some work done at home. I have to grade the diagnostic essays for my Writing class, so this is a great time to do it without interruption.
• Husband and I took the Boy to Saturday playgroup at his daycare. It worked out much better for the Boy. There were fewer dogs, which allowed him to play. He made some new friends and played very nicely with them. Only once did he have to go to doggie time out for inappropriate behavior.
• I did speak to the owner-head trainer about the incident. She told me that the guy and his wife are not regulars at playgroup. When they do come with their dog, they do not listen to anything she tells them to do with their dog. She doesn't want to "ban" them if the attend only once in a while. She is hoping that they will stop coming altogether. She was not upset with me at all with respect to my reaction to the incident. That made me feel so much better.

Stay warm everyone. This too shall pass...I hope!
