hmm. someone from hamilton-co.org is reading this. is it one of my old coworkers? speak out! i am so tired tonight. content, but tired. and my stomach feels funny. one more short day before i can celebrate the holiday...i have a feeling it will be a long day, though - i have to take a drive in the morning that usually takes just under an hour. the powers that be, however, are predicting 5-9 inches of snow and ice on the roads, so i'm allowing myself two hours. i think i'm already starting to feel tense. but on to happier things. today i drove to chillicothe, which is about 1 1/2 hours south of here. the roads were clear and the landscape turned hilly. i have to admit that i was tempted to follow the sign that said, "cincinnati, 81 miles," and drive along the ohio river...i resisted, though, so that i could come home to my husband-who has been very kind and patient today. he's taken the dog out three times! today i got to send a cocaine baby to his aunt's house. she was so excited to be able to care for her two week old nephew. it was worth working a little late to see her face...
