I made it to work Monday....and left early so the doc could see me and tell me that he thought the rather large bump on my wrist was a cyst, but just to be certain and cuz it's rather inflamed and causing me pain while opening dill pickle jars (we can't have THAT, now can we!) he was referring me to an ortho surgeon (not of the "leg" type cuz I tried that idea...).
I didn't make it to work Tuesday.....bit of a snow on the road issue so I worked from the comfort of my home instead....if there IS such a thing given the fact that I can't open jars of dill pickles without discomfort!
I got to work on Wednesday courtesy of the busy highway snow removal crews. And despite the -15 windchill factor today (bit warmer than the -34° with the windchill factored in the day before) I managed two days in a row. Wooohoo!! Score me!!!
And then this afternoon happened with snow squalls (total whiteout snow dumping) and a sudden appearance of "up to 50mph wind gusts" this evening with still more snow squalls and periods of fluffy white stuff of the non-squall type.
The driveway has a two foot drift across it already. Wanna bet how high that'll be in the morning?
Makes me wonder what those open, rural areas look like with all that blowing and drifting.
NOT that I'll be checking it out this evening. Heck, I couldn't even go to this evening's "in town" AA meeting without one of the old farts ringing me and telling me that he'd opened up for the meeting but was closing it up and.....he just called to tell me it was drifting pretty good and he didn't want me driving in the mess.
Awww....ain't that touching that he'd care about me driving into a drifting mess? :-/
Odds are the roads won't be cleared up for the distance drive to work tomorrow. (That'll make twice this week...)
And it's not like I had my coat, boots, hat and mittens on when the old fart called..... *ahem* I'm smarter than that.....geeze.....thinkin' I'd ignore himself's suggestion that I skip the meeting cuz of the "dangerous wind gusts and wind chills"..... (Dangerous.....pfffttt.....this is IOWA where we have SEASONS, not wimpy 43° is the LOW "winters".)
*ahemmmm* k....
Spoiled all those donuts I was gonna do on the snow in the parking lot, too dangitall!!

So what is happening about the cyst. I once had a cyst on the tendon (you can imagine the mockery about THAT) but nothing was done about it. I've still got the lump but it doesn't hurt anymore. OMG that was YEARS ago...
Sorry to hear about your snow but if you could arrange for it NOT to come to the UK I would be grateful.
Mel, had a feeling that was a cyst on your wrist when you mentioned it in one of your other posts. Like I said, I had one of those too, but miraculously, it just disappeared one day!
"The driveway has a two foot drift across it already."
OMG! And people were complaining here about the snow we got a few days ago, which was so minimal you would laugh.
And me, I'm only one saying that I want MORE snow! And I think we're more on Monday. Yahoo!
Have a great weekend, dear lady!

We're supposed to get freezing rain Saturday night- all the misery, but without the Bonus Day Off from work.
Winter.
Bah, humbug.
