We're Snowed In - An Unexpected "Day Off" and Schedule Shift

Wow, things are moving REALLY slowly. The Twin Cities, and much of Minnesota (and probably other states as well) are shut down. We're taking today away from the shop (like most places in the Cities) and I'll work tomorrow instead. That messes with my schedule a bit, but I'll just have to manage. Flexibility, that's the key today. 




I don't think I'm quite this flexible, but I also guarantee 
I'm not this young - LOL. However, I try to be a bit 
flexible in my life because life will always throw a 
curve ball into plans every now and then. Just to keep 
all of us on our toes - LOL. 



At some point I'll go outside and check to see if we have a newspaper. I rather doubt that we will, the streets are cleared, but treacherous, and we're still in high snowfall until afternoon. Looking at the weather radar, I think things will die down in the late morning and we'll be out of this storm starting at noon or so. Then we'll start the process of digging out. 




DH will get out the snowblower for clearing the driveway, but 
I'll probably shovel the walks. He's taking tomorrow off to 
clear snow from the roof. It should be a nice day tomorrow, so 
he'll be able to do it (although it might be a cold day). 



We're fully into Lent now, and that means DH wants fish on Fridays. Since I adore fish, I'll join him in that. I'm certainly NOT Catholic, not even Christian, but I don't mind fish on Fridays for a few weeks. I bought two lovely salmon fillets, two beautiful pieces of tilapia, and some bacon-wrapped scallops at the store yesterday, so I'm set for several weeks. I also made my soup yesterday, so I have vegetable alternatives as well. Add in a nice salad and I certainly won't starve to death. 




I have no idea how this recipe will turn out tomorrow. I'll 
need to get one ingredient from the store, but the store should 
be back to normal hours tomorrow, so no problem picking 
it up on my way in to the shop. Interested in the recipe? 
Here's the link.

So I'm keeping this fast and starting my off-balance day. Have an excellent Thursday and I'll be back for a short post tomorrow before I head off to the YMCA for my Thursday (Friday) swim - LOL. Take care if you're affected by this storm or others around the world, and Slava Ukraini.
