The deep freeze continues. It's been below zero, into double digits below with wind chill. Yesterday (Thursday) was absolutely horrible outside, and I think the only reason school wasn't canceled at Wherever is that we're in final exam week. Kala said rumor had it in Ann Arbor that the superintendent there regretted not canceling school. "You try explaining to eight cognitively impaired students for the third day in a row that they can't go outside to play," she growled.

Thursday was the last day of finals, and Friday (today) was a staff development day at Wherever. Ann Arbor was scheduled to have school, but they did cancel it for cold, and when AA cancels school, AALC (the boys' school) cancels. This meant that I had to get up and go to school in the bone-cracking cold while everyone else in my family slept in and stayed home.

It's awful outside. Just dreadful. It's been like this for days now, and it's very wearing and difficult on everyone.
