My Day

Thankfully the pandemonium in my brain subsided by this afternoon.  It took some time, however, before I was able to relax.  Snow, as beautiful as it looks, makes me nervous to drive. I kind of have a miniature car: a VW Beetle. Without delving deep into my thoughts, I'll recap this morning's events just for your knowledge.

The Situation:
I left for work early in disbelief that school was not cancelled.  I knew my 25 minute commute would take extra long.  After an hour of driving, with my half-way point in the distance, I received a phone call that, in fact, our district was closing. Almost in tears, I turned around and headed for home.  Instead of relief, I felt anger because of my stupidity: I had left too soon.  You see, I go through phases with being on-time. At the beginning of the year, I get to school early.  During the winter months, I arrive exactly on time: 8:25. Midway between winter and spring, I get to school early again.  And then at the end of the school year I may or may not arrive around 8:26- give or take a few minutes.  Today, I was supposed to be in the "get to school at 8:25" phase.  Instead, I chose to break the phase, which was a bad choice. Some advice: don't ever interfere with a phase.

Anywhoo, after an hour commute back home, trouble getting into our parking lot (resulting in my waking up a sleepy LG...NOT a good situation) and shoveling the sidewalk, I plopped myself on the couch and took a 4 hour nap.

Some food and hours later, the LG and I ventured into the white abyss to...of all reasons to go out during a blizzard...go to Lowe's. Why? Just because it was a great time to shop. We were the only customers. And we bought a very much needed shovel.

The pictures:

Turkey Burger ala Julia

 Yes, it's on an English Muffin.

The road on the way to Lowe's.

Me.  My arm looks like it's dislocated.

The crazy snow.

 I love when the sky turns a salmonly color when it snows at night.

Chicken Soup ala the LG!

Aside from the crazy morning, today was a good day. :)

Here's hoping that your day was just as enjoyable!
