Well, it was a busy day yesterday. It started when one of my car tires complained about air pressure, so in -8C (16F) weather, I took the kids to school then stopped off at the gas station. However, this has been my 3rd or so time doing this, so the process went quite smoothly. There was another lady there ahead of me, but there was a man in another car that came to help her. So I was proud of my non-mechanical self. I've found the major thing for me to remember when I'm doing this is to make sure I'm wearing my progressive lens eyeglasses, so that I don't have to squint at the tire pressure readings on the gauge.
Then, I had a few errands to run, and get my exercise in before I picked the kids up again. L just had a half day of school.
Towards evening, I went to the mailbox only to find the lock was frozen shut. Really, it feels like January or February. We have super mailboxes on the street corners in the suburbs that you access with a key. So, what we do is go hunting for the bottle of lock de-icer and that usually helps a lot. It didn't this time, so we'll try again later. L says she managed to force it open last year.
After that, I took K to his tennis lesson. Then we had plans to meet some people for dinner, so my only problem by then was to find a nice, warm, yet dressy cardigan to wear for the occasion! I heard they had 80 cms of snow in Northern Ontario, roads were closed off.

"wearing my progressive lens eyeglasses" Bhwaaaaaaaaaaaaa ~ I love the new name these days :o)
So, did you ever get the mailbox open?! :) Hope the rest of your evening turned out well. Have a good weekend.
SoccerMom, these are the neat new bifocals without the visible lines.
Lizzie, my daughter L got it open this afternoon! And it was empty after all that.
Hey Christine
I have them too! I have to laugh because my eye doc is about my age and when I got mine I said to him, oh they are not called bifocals anymore? He said no not if he had to wear them! LoL
Stay Warm this weekend!
Wow it sure got cold fast there! I've never lived somewhere it got so cold the locks freeze.
We had to fill up the air in one of our tires this week too. It was low, low, low.
