Just found this in my drafts. It’s from a few weeks (like 3?) ago.
It’s a lovely cold and foggy Sunday morning here in the Northwest. My family is up & fed, but we decided to just lounge about. We have nowhere to go. Well, we’d like to be at church, but alas, we are prisoners to road construction. The city is for some reason doing their sewer work Saturday & Sunday mornings for a few weeks. They are preparing for the repaving & installation of curbs & sidewalks on our otherwise outdated residential neighborhood. Yesterday, which I think would have been a good day for them to start early & end late (like the no parking signs said – 8am-5pm), they quit before noon. We are now hoping for that today so that we can make it to the second service. I keep peering out the front door lights to see if we could possibly back out & leave in one direction or another, but there is no way. There’s a big ditch on one side & lots of work & equipment on the other. It might have been nice if the letter they sent telling us they would be doing work would have included “it may be impossible for you to leave your house by motorized vehicle during this time, so if you will need to leave please park your vehicle elsewhere and walk out. I’m also very thankfully for our super efficiency doors & windows we had installed this fall. The construction seems very loud, I can only imagine it would be deafening! It is very cold outside so we will enjoy the coziness of the indoors.
