Yes, I am a survivor. I admit it, I had my doubts. It was tough. School was closed for two days. My daughter was bouncing off the walls while I attempted to work from home.
We were hermits for about 47.5 hours. The other .5 hours was spent on an expedition to the McDonald’s less than a mile away. We were dressed like bank robbers, with only our eyes exposed.
I was shocked by how cold the air was. It stung even through the layers of clothing. I was waiting for some penguins or a polar bear to walk by. The short trip to grab fast food almost felt like a death-defying adventure.
It’s amazing we survived. I was so thankful the high temperature today was above zero. I feel almost invincible now that we conquered the big, bad Polar Vortex. Maybe this weekend I’ll skydive or eat habanero peppers…not!!
