Chris is outside, chipping off the two and a half inches worth of ice that's currently covering my car. I have to open the store in the morning, so venturing outside can't be put off anymore. Chris's classes have already been canceled for tomorrow, but he, too, is going to attempt to make it to work.

I thought I was going to have to go to work on Tuesday. The malls around here are notorious for opening no matter what. So they opened Tuesday morning. The mall's Facebook page got blown up by pissed off mall employees complaining about the mall opening. Pretty stupid moves on their part, but highly entertaining for me to read. By 2 (I had to be at work at 3), our parent company had told the mall where they could go, and told all of their stores to go ahead and close early if they felt like they needed to.

Fortunately, we never lost power, so we've spent the last couple of days working on homework, reading and watching movies. I'm looking forward to getting back to our regular schedule. Mariah is supposed to come spend the weekend with us for a belated birthday celebration, so there better not be any more crappy weather in our future.

OK, chicken's done defrosting. Time to go make dinner so that it's ready or close to when Chris gets done cleaning off my car. Hope everyone else is doing OK digging out!

I'm feeling rather depressed right now. I sat down and made a serious study of my degree requirements, and where I'm at in meeting those requirements. Turns out, I'm about 30 credit hours from my degree. Two solid semesters if I put my head down and just barrel right on through.

Excited by this prospect, I tried to enroll in classes for spring semester. Most of the classes I need aren't being offered this semester, and of those that are, none of them are online, and none are offered on the same day (or even two days!) during the week in order to consolidate my driving an hour and a half one way to get to the class.

I need one more English class, and both of the ones offered online are full, but I'm first in the wait-list position, so whichever one I get first is the one I'll take. And I'm taking one political science class on Wednesday night. Six credit hours. Chris is taking 15 this semester. I feel like such a slacker.

There's nothing for it, I guess. I'll have to transfer campuses to the one in Indianapolis for the fall semester. That way even if I have to be in person multiple times a week,  I won't lose entire days from my work schedule. Sigh. So it's at least one more full year after this.

YAY!

Chris and I got up this morning and took a few loads of clothes over to the laundry mat. While stuff washed, we went on an hour-long walk on the Monon Trail. Went back to the laundry mat, switched stuff to the dryer and then got lunch.

When we got home was the best part of the day. Chris got his acceptance packet from IUPUI!! My baby is going back to school next semester! Political Science with a Pre-Law concentration. We'll be lucky if we don't kill each other by the time he makes it through law school, lol. But I'm so proud of him!

Now -- off to work!
