Ice. whee?
A week ago, it was -10F. Sunday, it was nearly 50F. Last night, we got thunder (freezing) rain, and there was over a quarter of an inch of pebbled ice on everything this morning. They said it would melt by evening, but it didn't. The major streets, which got salted, had mostly melted, but our little street hadn't gotten salt by sundown, and I don't know if it will. There was no school today, and if they don't get the back roads salted tonight, there probably won't be tomorrow either. It's supposed to warm up quite a bit tomorrow before everything freezes again, so that should help. I really don't want to shovel ice off the driveway -- doing the porch was enough, tyvm.
Monday was the first extended playtest of the extensions that J printed for Esme. They worked pretty well -- I made it through rehearsal with only a bit of pain, and that was mostly due to the fact that we hadn't had rehearsal for three weeks (off for MLK Day, and then the schools were closed due to 6" of snow falling after midnight).
OT is testing different taping patterns to see what helps most. Whatever works best, I'm going to have to learn how to do. She's also considering a different brace, this one to wear while playing. Esme comes in with me on Friday so the OT can see the extensions in use and see if this brace will work.
Today, I discovered that J hadn't opened the basement vents. Explains why it's been chilly in the basement. He told me that he had, but maybe he just meant the one in his lab, not the ones in the larger basement space.
