The forecast was for freezing rain. Ending by noon. It is past noon now. And the freezing rain continues to fall. There are icicles.
I told my Mom on Saturday that we were predicted to have freezing rain on Monday. She told me they would get here on Tuesday.
Right after that a pipeline broke somewhere, shutting off my water. What to do for lunch, I wondered. The water is back running now.
Around 10 this morning I made them a reservation, for tomorrow, at a Studio Plus. Right after that my Mom is on the phone telling me they are almost here, as in at 11am they were passing Ablilene. When I got that call I already had my day planned and was about to head out the door.
So, I called Studio Plus and told them they were 2 or 3 hours out and could we move the reservation up a day. No problem. The Studio Plus has a nice kitchen. Maybe my Mom will have a cooking project. If I were like my little sister I'd assign her one. Or two.
I quickly changed my plans, wrapped their Xmas presents that I'd procrastinated, took care of some other things. And now I wait.
This drippy gray freezing rain is a perfect metaphor for how I'm feeling right now.
