Well we all knew it would happen sooner or later, and we've been quite lucky so far this winter. The ice storm is upon us. The drive into work was fine, but I left school at 1:30 to make the long drive home. Took me an hour and a half to get home. Not too bad. I took a picture of the conditions, but my camera is charging. It shall be added later.
I know that other places have been hit harder, but I still don't like it when it comes here. I've been reading books about bicycle travel all winter long and I dream of getting on my bike and riding for months/years in a southward direction. Experiencing new cultures and countries, learning about others in the world around me, seeing the world for all its good (and bad), and just experiencing life raw. It sounds so romantic and exciting. I know the reality is much more complicated than simply packing up your life and going out on an adventure, but I'm beginning to get the roaming bug. Even if only for a week or two I want to see the world. I've been looking at attending a Spanish school in Mexico and learning the language. I've started learning Spanish on my own. I want to be a part of something bigger than myself. I want to learn about others. I want to be more than just a selfish American.
Ok- the rambling is over... back to reality.
My hand is getting better every day. It's pretty much back to normal. Aside from the stiffness and the scar tissue, it's really doing well. I've rarely had any numbing at all. It's been BLISSFUL! I think I may wind up doing the other hand eventually. Not right away, but within the next couple years.
Stay warm out there.
