Re-Blizzard

Sigh. Another storm envelopes a winter-wearied mid-Atlantic. The weather report states:

         "A Winter Storm Warning is in effect. A significant winter storm or hazardous winter weather is occurring, imminent, or likely, and is a threat to life and property. Stay vigilant for severe weather."

Unfortunately, Gus is scheduled for a 24-hour call shift beginning tomorrow at 7:00 AM. Earlier today, he received an email from the hospital stating that, in no uncertain terms, everyone will be showing up for shifts tomorrow regardless of the weather. They are offering free hotel rooms and meals, but Gus has elected to hole up in the call room instead. So, he drove to the hospital tonight to ensure he's on site in time for his shift tomorrow, leaving me to face the prospect of being trapped under two feet of snow alone.

After a 30-minute wait in line at the grocery store, our fridge is stocked and I'm planning to fill tomorrow with a cleaning blitz, an embroidery project and a few good movies.
