Snowmageddon
It’s going to snow forever, I’m convinced. It’s been snowing since roughly 7 pm yesterday with absolutely no sign of slowing down. We have probably close to 2 feet on the ground so far, but it’s hard to tell because it’s been windy and it drifts. There’s at least a foot, foot and a half for SURE. Part of me is seriously chagrined. The last time we had this much snow on a Saturday, we had two days off school, which is not good. Two more days off will put us in school during my Disney trip, which is stressful, because I’m getting on a plane on June 24, school or no school. I hate to leave my co-teachers in the lurch like that, but they all know (and my bosses both know) that I’ve had this trip planned for a year. There’s no way I’m NOT going.
But part of me is still all, “Ohmygod, SNOW!” inside. I love snow, when I can sit inside and watch it. I love the way everything is quieter in the snow, and how when it snows (especially at night), I feel kind of insulated and isolated from the world. When it’s really snowing like this, it’s not safe to go anywhere, so I feel like I’m off the hook for everything in my life that needs to be done. Gotta run errands? Pfffft, can’t! It’s snowing! I should go to the gym, but look! So much snow!
All I can really do is sit inside and watch movies and listen to music and knit and read. Last night was a movie watching and reading night. Today is a music-listening and knitting day. I think I’m going to try to bang out the other half of those flip-top mittens I started. I’ll need mittens on Monday; it’s going to be all cold and snowy.
I have these grand delusions that I’m going to bang out the entirety of my Moonwalker scarf while I’m sitting inside watching the snow, and that is completely not happening. I have a good amount done, though – I’m considering 8 inches “a good amount” because it’s knit on size 2s and I have to pay attention to every stitch I knit because it’s lacy. I have been working on it, though! See?
