Tom had his first day back at work last night. He came in and immediately fell asleep. He felt like it went rather well and did not seem like he had been away so long. Just so you know, most of the work up here is seasonal, shops just shut down for months at a time. Ironically, when the locals need it the most.
There is definitely a rhythm to living here. While it can be rather slow (read 12 inches of snow) during the winter months, the spring and summer are complete madness. Where I work, we’ll serve as many people for breakfast as we end up serving all day during winter.
Due to Christmas and snow, Katie has been out of school for a while, she was back this week and low and behold, she’s got a cold. Even her bus driver is out sick and according to the driver, of the 6 or so kids on her bus, about half are out sick. I guess that is what happens when you have a bunch of snotty kids stuck in a room with recirculating air. Speaking of the devil, I just got a lap full of Katie.
It is so foggy outside I can’t see to the fence. It has been rainy and foggy when it hasn’t been snowing. If anyone sees that yellow orb in the sky, send it my way, I’d like to remember what it looks like. The good news is, it has been relatively warm and I was able to open all the windows and let some fresh air in. YAY! Also found the gasket so our steam vac is working. Double YAY!
I’ll be accepting reservations for visitors. Just let me know when you want to come, I’ll have the bread baking and the blankets turned down. Fair warning, new chicks start arriving the first of April.
