Friday night into Saturday morning, we got snow. Not a lot of snow, but a very wet, heavy mess.
So mid-morning Saturday, after walkways (finally) got cleared, Continue reading “Is winter over yet?”

The day after
I used my arms and legs, more than my back. Deliberately. Thoughtfully.
Uselessly. Continue reading “The day after”
Indoorsy
So it snowed.
I mean, it didn’t snow ridiculous numbers of feet of snow, as it did up North, in the part of the country I used to live in and some of my family still does and I beg, when I think about winter, that I’ll never have to live there again.
But still, it snowed. Continue reading “Indoorsy”
You can have it
The morning opens somehow quieter than usual. Even through the shades, the light is muted, dim. It makes me suspect… Continue reading “You can have it”
And then it all just went horribly wrong
There are certain things that make for a pleasant Saturday morning in my world: Sleeping in late. Hazelnut coffee, with a hint of cinnamon, savored slowly, preferably in the comfort of still-warm jammies in my still-warm apartment. Continue reading “And then it all just went horribly wrong”
April arrives
So… April is here. I love April. April is just full of great days.
And when I stepped out into the day, it was drizzly and felt like springtime. I felt so… optimistic. Continue reading “April arrives”
That storm is close
The weather is seriously messed up. And by “messed up,” I mean a significantly less Rated-G phrase ending in “up.”
Is it late March where you live? It’s late March on my planet. On my portion of my planet, late March is considered “Spring.” Continue reading “That storm is close”
Welcome spring! Spring? SPRING? Where are you?!?
Friday it was in the 80s here. That’s unseasonably warm for March in this part of the country, but I wasn’t complaining. After the brutality of this winter, it felt like we deserved a leap-frog into summer. It felt like spring was going to come in gangbusters, just like winter did. It felt very very right. Continue reading “Welcome spring! Spring? SPRING? Where are you?!?”
The return
I went back into the office today. It was the first time this week (snow after snow, so I worked from home). And I was only in the office one day last week, because I was deathly ill with the plague (or a cold, hard to say which for sure), so I worked from home the other days last week too. Continue reading “The return”
Snowbound again
Four AM wake-up. I have slept on the couch so many nights that it’s no longer unfamiliar. Still too early, too tired, stomach churning over the minutia of the previous day. Quiet time, prayer time. A coughing jag or two. And then sleep returns.
Six-thirty the travel alarm buzzes. No snooze option, I turn it off and drift. My eyes pop open alert and aware of being late at seven-ten. Oh no. Oh yes. Thank God I can work from home but…
Oh, wait. We have a delayed open today. The second wave of snow was a doozy. Continue reading “Snowbound again”
