Unexpected day off

Today's weather report from the north sucks: it is raining, but the air temperature is -4 C. I tried heading north to work today, left in what would have been good time on normal roads. But it is slippery, so I didn't dare go faster than 60 km/h on the highway (a 110 zone). That would have been fine, we have flextime, and it doesn't really matter what time I arrive, so I could have made my way slowly north and then worked. But then the log trucks started passing me, and it was unpleasant enough that I turned around. Given that Thursday is a holiday I just sent my boss and colleagues an email to let them know I am not coming in this week, and am willing to just take it as "tjänstledig" (off without pay).

However, Keldor is working as normal today and tomorrow, and this evening he will do more prep work for th his Build Your Own Knife throry course over zoom he is teaching tomorrow ( https://www.frostheim.se/program/frostheim-kurs-gor-din-egen-kniv-lektion-1-teori/ ) so we won't be working on the house with this extra time. I could head there on my own, but the half hour drive will take way longer than that on today's roads, and it isn't worth it.
