 Snowmageddon II on Monday night this week. We had something like 8-12 inches of snow overnight. Enough to close school on Tuesday by 8:00 Monday evening. It was rough going just driving over to pick up Alex at Wal-Mart after work. Snow continued Tuesday, and there was a 2-hour delay on Wednesday..... Beth had another mini-vacation Monday and Tuesday, she went to a hotel by herself for 2 nights while I took care of things. She didn't go do much since the snow was so heavy. We didn't either. I just cleaned and did laundry while she was gone, for the most part..... Beth has a procedure scheduled for Monday, so she had to have a covid test on Friday. They do one of those nasal swabs, but I was a bit taken aback at the sight of it. I knew they swab the inside of your nostril, but I hadn't realized they stick it all the way in to your throat. It was the longest Q-tip I had ever seen, and the nurse just stuck it in and kept sticking it farther and farther. Beth was pretty grossed out by it, too, and could taste the stuff on the Q-tip for a long time afterwards..... Friday night the ladies and I went down to Wabash while Alex was at work to try out a new restaurant called Harvey Hinklemeyer's, which had been highly recommended to us by someone (can't remember who?) and turned out to be pretty good. I got pizza, Missy got a burger, Nat got some pasta, and Beth got some sort of something I forgot. Everybody though their stuff was pretty good, although a 45 minute drive is a bit much for it. But, we also checked the Wal-Mart that is right there, just in case they had some more of the gray curtains that the Warsaw store doesn't. They even did! So we picked up a couple for the sliding glass door..... The ladies and I also went to Goshen/Elkhart Saturday to go to Rocket Science and Hobby Lobby while Alex was at work..... So Beth has this procedure on Monday, so she has had to prepare for the procedure all weekend (it's a colonoscopy, so she had to be empty when they do it, if you know what I mean) by drinking a lot of special stuff. She looking forward to this being over and done with.....
