Woke up to more ice. I spent an hour last night shoveling away the first layer of it just for more to come tonight. But I am glad I did. Ice is a lot heavier than snow. I can't imagine having to do twice as much. We also have power this morning which to be honest is a bit of a shock. Around 6 last night the electric company sent out a dire warning about the possibility of losing power during the night. Good times. But now we are ready! Heavy duty flashlights, I know where the think blankets are, wood for the fireplace. We are good. The only thing I couldn't prepare for is still teaching class today if there had been no power. I did warn my co-workers I might have to reschedule my class if at 9am I lose electricity. Luckily my boss actually went to UOM and is quite familiar with how the world is out here. He knows the evil that is an ice storm.
I spent the day alternating between a sick B and working on my new class. I was stuck on getting one thing done but finally cracked it around 4:30. Whatever I had on Saturday made its way to her finally. She was nauseous all day and finally around 5 let it all out. She felt much better afterwards but it still was not a pleasant evening for her. While taking care of her I accidentally saw my VD present. We ended up exchanging gifts. She got me a Rockstar lightup bar sign we had seen in a curiosities shop a while back. We're going to hang it in the basement because we're nerds.
Went to bed around 10:30. I have to admit, my sleep schedule has improved greatly since we've moved. Of all the unintended side effects of moving, that is a pleasant one. No grumbling here on that.
Full day, 9-5 class, full students. This is going to be a long one.
