Trying not to blow away

[hildy89]

It's New Year's Eve and we're under a wind advisory here in the Nation's Capitol. Believe me, it's really noticeable outside. At least it isn't doing anything else. Except for one weird weather pattern earlier, which I'll go into.

My part day at the new assignment started on a surreal moment with a fire alarm. I was still sitting in the receptionist's area waiting for my contact to show up! Weirder still it was snowing/sleeting/raining/something outside briefly. Whatever it was was coming down nearly at a diagonal with all the wind involved. A little freaky to say the least.

After work, I tried hard to avail myself of Borders' sales, but I couldn't find anything that remotely tempted me. So I swung by Noodles & Company for a warm lunch before trudging to the warmth of home. I plan to curl up with cartoons and other assorted television until the ball drops.

I didn't grasp how strong the wind was until I went outside to bring in some things from the car and take some bags of books out. I seriously thought that I and the books might fall over!
