Relay For Life & Freezing Weather
So today I was supposed to drive an hour-ish to go to the Relay For Life Winter Training.
This is usually a fun event where volunteers from all over this part of the state get together and share ideas, attend meetings etc. It is kind of like a convention.
Not going.
Apparently there was an ice storm in the city where they are having this thing last night and since I no longer have a 4-wheel drive vehicle I am not risking it. Now I know what you're thinking, and you're right. 4-wheel drive is not helpful on ice. But it is helpful when you slide off into the ditch in getting you back out of said ditch. My little bitty Honda can not do that. Plus is it white so if there is a snow storm in the midst of all this no one would even be able to see me in the ditch until spring!
But seriously, the American Cancer Society is not going to cancel this thing. The people putting it on went down there yesterday and stayed overnight. They don't have to travel. And who the heck cares about the volunteers who do anyway? If they were REAL volunteers they'd go no matter what. Nope. Not me. Been doing this for six years what the heck are they going to tell me that I do not already know? In fact, former co-workers after finding out I was going looked at me and asked "why"? They had a point.
