Safely home, but I had to put up with a few pickup tailgaters. The “darted” around, a little slip n slide, and I still met them at the signal. I love it! d:o)
Now I have to drive in it in the morning, back to court.

Me too!! We get 4 Floating Holidays...use or lose by year’s end. I saved mine to use the 4 Friday’s in December. I might have jury duty this Friday. We are moving to the new building next Friday, and over the weekend. I am NOT losing my earned holidays. I will be taking a couple Thursdays off if I have to work Fridays. GRRRR!!

Good morning Ma ((HUGS))
Sorry it's turning out to be
a crappy week for you...
jury-wise and weather-wise.
Just think, Friday is almost here
and you'll have some down time.
A little Trivia for you...
it was revealed this morning that
Marylanders have the worst (best?) potty mouths
(cause of those @$#%@#$$#% rude drivers) hehe
but are 3rd in line for most courteous. Go figure. LOL

Big problems with Lynn-Dah’s aft end. Massive infection and lots of nastiness. I have to get this cleared up B4 going to Boston.
All the money I saved up for the trip will go to fixing up this mess.
(sigh)

I sure hope you get your days off. Jury duty is one of those “privileges” that is more a pain in the tush! Will your boss let you take the Thursdays as a substitute? Some wouldn’t.

This is my face when I went out into
a breezy wind chill factor of 17*!
...in my jammies...EEK!
And snow on the way! (prolly not much though)
How fun for the drivers who like to live on the edge!
Hope it's warmer where you are!
I guess winter is finally here!
Hope you Early Birds have a quiet Thursday!
((((hugs))))
