mud

We seem to be stuck in the dreary wet March here in the desert.  It is raining again today and has been for 3 or 4 days straight.  not a lot of rain, just drizzle.  The result of this is lots and lots of mud.  the "sand" here is more like a heavy flour and, when mixed with rain, turns into a nice super sticky mud.  Temperatures are usually between 4-8 deg overnight and anywhere from 8 - 22 deg in the day.  Some areas around here have even seen a little snow.  There are a number of large mountains within view and they are all snow covered on top.  It's definitely not home but nice to see.
I'm stuck running the show by myself again for a little while ( I hope only a few more days).  It is wearing me out as I can't seem to get much productive done while trying to run the helpdesk and deal with the issues that come up.  On top of that I still really can't seem to get a good nights rest.  I'm ready to get out of here.
