blustered and flustered

I wanted to spend the day grading, taking just a quick trip into work in the morning with a promise that I'd return before lunch. The roads were snowy but nothing compared to last night coming home from Kevin's (you just had to move to no-man's-land, didn't you?). However, once there, I discovered that an afternoon meeting was scheduled which forced me back again. With two trips back and forth, I was much more distracted than I'd hoped and didn't get as much accomplished as I'd hoped.
