This morning, Scott and I dutifully watched Channel 6 weather so we would know how to plan our day. That dreaded four letter word was used. Snow. But, the good news was we were told we could expected a few flurries, and a light dusting.
It’s been snowing steadily, and heavily, for the past 4 hours. We have two inches of snow, the roads are a nightmare to drive on (as I discovered) and getting in to my driveway took 4 attempts. The tracks my car left on the driveway resemble the tracks a sidewinder leaves on the desert sand… I kid you not!
Now, 2 inches of snow really is not a lot, I know that. I know of one city in our neighbor to the north that would LOVE to receive this snow. I know of another up thar that would sneer at our measly pittance of precipitation. It’s not really the 2 inches… it’s the fact we were promised flurries and a dusting! But, my oh my, it is sure pretty to watch!
Scott has spent the afternoon working on homework. His first 2 semesters, Scott took 2 classes a semester. This semester he got motivated, and is taking 3 classes. He’s finding it a bit much, I think. Three classes aren’t in and of themselves that heavy of a load. But, Scott is also working full time, and remains heavily involved at church, working 5 hours every Sunday, 3 hours every Thursday, and generally has a meeting or two every week. So I toughed up and cooked a gourmet dinner for the family tonight so Scott could get his assignment in by midnight!
There’s nothing like chili-cheese dogs and Doritos for a gourmet dinner!
Things have not changed much for me. Still no job, and still no job in sight. No one is hiring, and my friend who indicated that he would probably have something after the 1st of the year has now told me that they had another hiring freeze in place. I’ve made it a habit at night to not go to sleep until I’ve reviewed all the good things I have in my life. It’s not a hard challenge at all! Life is good. I can look at all I have, all the wonderful friends in my life, all the things I’ve accomplished in my life and know how truly blessed I am.
You know, this snow is gorgeous! The temperature out there isn’t really all that bad.
But I’d love to move somewhere warm and sunny. Is there such a place?
