Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

Turning my frown upside down

Well, I think I might try thinking positively for a while. Though my drive was terrible and my stress was high -- I was soothed with the tender caress of compassion today. I stopped on the road and around ten separate people stopped and asked if I needed help. I never even considered my hometown so friendly and helpful!

Thanks to everyone who offered to help me!

Thankfully, I didn't need it, but it was great that assistance was offered. Be it the season, the city, or the general attitude of people, that has put me in a good mood!

white roads, white knuckles

Well, I drove from work town to hometown at a blistering 28 - 34 mph. The drive lasted for 2.5 hours including the time I had to pull off the road (possible engine overheat) and shoveling my car free from the hotel parking lot. I didn't like it; didn't want it; happy to be home.

My county of residence did a better job of clearing the road than my county of work. Odd, all things considered, but happy that I saw very few people ditched out.

hotel stay

I was thinking about staying in town if the weather got bad. The company "splurged" and got me a hotel room ... negotiated trade and I spent the night in town. It's quite the winter out there now. While the hotel of choice they made was not mine, I am not disappointed.

Free; rest; coffee. I only wish I were back home.

Thanks God! Thanks work!
