Under the Weather

Snow's falling for the second time in less than a week. I'm sitting here, waiting for Sam to wake up. He was scheduled to take the ADA bus this morning. This is the first time since he began practicing this new adventure in transportation, that it may be affected by the weather.

The possibility that the weather may be an issue came to our attention Sunday evening. When we heard about the predicted storm, his concern about the bus and how to deal with it, was immediate. I told him that I thought that canceling the bus wasn't as hard as scheduling it in the first place, but if it comes to that, we'll find out together. I promised him that I wouldn't leave for work that morning until we knew how - or if - it was going to be affected. The anxiety melted from his face.

So I sit here and I wait.

There are many school cancellations mounting up. I spoke to one of Sam's job coaches yesterday who told me that if the schools in our town are canceled, she and Sam won't be meeting. The schools in our town were canceled as of about ten minutes ago.

Sam's job coach just texted, saying that they won't be meeting today and asking us to cancel the bus. When Sam wakes up, I'll help him with the call, and then, it's off to work.
