Hi all.  As you know, I went to be with my Dad and got stranded in a motel room for more than a week.  Yesterday, I was struggling with anxiety because the weather report for today and beyond it was more snow and blowing and drifting snow.  Today, I awakened, did what I normally do for my program work, watched the weather reports - none good and suddenly just got up, loaded all my bags with a plan on where I could stop if I was prevented from seeing the roads again although it would have been pretty scary.  Once I got out of the motel and through the City, the highways were clear.  There was some blowing snow across the roads, but nothing as predicted.  I got to my hometown where roads were snow covered and slippery, got some banking and mail pick up done, got to my office and did work there, and then found a way home that would be safest because the speed limits would be reduced for school children leaving school.  My drive had not been plowed, but I was able to get the car into the garage.  The van is snowed in once again.  Just as I entered the garage, big winds started whipping up and then snow started coming down at a fast rate of speed.  Freezing drizzle is also predicted, but I'm home.

My originals plan was to stay until tomorrow, then again to wait until noon today to leave the motel.  I left two hours earlier although none of it made sense based on the weather report.  It made more sense to leave later than earlier according to it.  Once again, my HP was able to lead me interiorly.  Sometimes, the outer voices can be trusted, but its the inner voice that really knows the way.

Thanks for all your prayers, your support and your care while I was away.  It sure helped me make the best of being caught between two worlds - my Dad's SNF and my home.

I'm disappointed that I didn't get to spend more time caring for my father, but who knows that wasn't in my HP's plan, too?  (((MIP family)))
