Winter sunset at 4:20 pm local time. Ha ha

Also, winter sunsets are a small gift from nature to make up for the fact that OUTSIDE IS TRYING TO FREEZE YOUR INSIDES AND OUTSIDES AND PRESERVE YOU FOR THE SPRING. It’s, not pleasant sometimes.

It had been light snow, off and on, all day. Now we have this. View this post on Instagram Seriously??? It’s supposed to continue from how to about 2am. The forecast of just a couple of inches in total over the span of three days is now 7.75cm/3in just for tonight. I am so tired of winter. Watch, we’ll get our April blizzard this year, too… *sigh* The Re-Farmer

What a shit show of a week.

The weather has been supper crappy (-38 average, snowy, windy) and so I have had to go into work late twice this week to get Kindergarten to school (buses won't run that cold). My company is changing ownership so now there is worry about having a job along with benefits, pay, etc. Like I need to stress more about money. High School has had people at the house all week so even coming home at the end of the day is not a reprieve. And then I have had a wicked bought of insomnia so I get up late, go to bed early, and have not gotten ahead in any of my goals.
