The Trip to Wegman's While Home in Syracuse to Get a Roast Beef Sub Will Never Get Old. Now They Know How to Make a Sandwich.

Did the grocery run at Wegman's which meant I was also able to put in an order for a roast beef, provolone, loaded sub on an everything roll. Although Dad ate most of it, I did get my bites in while doing office-at-the-parental-front in the morning. Delicious. 

Also traded Cynde, and I visited Mom at Upstate. Her roommate was definitely not going allow them to chop off her toes, so she left. The procedure was supposed to be in the morning. Whoever it was...mom thought it was a man, but it was a woman who likely smokes 2 packs a day. She was not having what the experts had to say, so called her daughter to come get her. Nurse told her it was not the medical recommendation to leave the hospital, but that woman was keeping her toes. Of course, the rotting grapes under bed begged to differ. I said, "Mom, look. She left her toes."

Believe it or not, another batch of assignments came in so the grading must commence once more. Ugh.

As for Syracuse construction....I'm still wondering who thought it was a good idea to do major road work on I-81, 481, and I-690 all at the same time. 

I can breathe a sigh of relief, though, that the temperatures look like they're on the upswing again with no snow in the near future. I sure hope so. 

Another cup of coffee, and back to emails, grading, meetings, and grants.
