Today was all kinds of miserable. I was a force to be reckoned with in the morning (surprised I didn't  break the window when I threw the laundry basket!) and have been feeling rage all day. What didn't help at all? The SNOW that fell at quitting time - 5PM. When traffic is already horrid due to Montreal sucking like crazy and having closed most all roads and sidewalks for construction. Really, Montreal? REALLY? I hate this town so bloody much.Anyway.. there was SNOW. Wet, slushy, falling all over the place, SNOW. And I didn't appreciate it. Not one bit. I am not looking forward to the first snow covering like I used to when I was younger (read, 31) and and especially do not appreciate it in the middle of freaking October.And certainly not at rush hour!!So we attempted to go home, Shawn with his migraine so bad he felt sick and me with my raging rage and verge of tears all day mood. Yeah, not so much. We left at 5PM, by 6PM we had gotten less than halfway to the bridge and we thought, huh, ok, let's just go eat. Since we ended up in Old Montreal we parked, walked through the slush and freezing cold and headed towards the nearest decent restaurant (that had a bathroom because boy did I have to pee!!) and we knew we wouldn't be eating cheap because of where we were, but dammit! We were hungry, tired, angry and cold.We ended up at The Keg in Old Montreal where we each had some of the best steak we have had in a long time! I had a Monte Carlo potato with mine and Shawn, garlic mashed potatoes. I had shrimp and Shawn had mushrooms.Shawn's head was still hurting when we walked back to the car at 7:10, but we were both much more relaxed and happier than we were an hour earlier. We felt bad that the dogs were left so long, but with the way the traffic wasn't moving, well, we wouldn't have been home until close to seven anyhow. As it was we were home by 7:30. Not bad.We even found a Jazz station on the radio which was mellow and comforting. It actually felt Christmassy in the car while we were stuck in traffic. Imagine! Christmassy even BEFORE Halloween! And I can tell you that I have not been feeling the Halloween feelings this year. I almost didn't decorate and when I did put some of my decorations out, well, I wanted to put out my CHRISTMAS stuff instead.So, here we are. October 22nd - the first snow of 2009. (It didn't stick where we live, THANK THE GODS!)
