Again. It's 31F out, but His Lordship has shoveled. Thank goodness. I just don't have it in me today. We had company last night and I'm still pretty wiped out. Sat for too long in one position and my hip is giving me fits. I'll work it out, but wasn't going to risk it shoveling today.

Don't have any idea if the kids are coming, they can stay home and safe if they choose. Up to them. It's not coming down hard right now and may not. One of my friends said it's like we're in a snow globe here and some keeps shaking it. Boo.

The school district called a "digital day" i.e. a snow day on Friday and then all heck broke loose as the State Dept. of Education says they are illegal and the kids (and teachers) may have to make the day up at the end of the year. I bet the DOE caves and they don't. Tomorrow is a holiday (President's Day) so no worries until Thursday when it's supposed to dump on us again.

And FYI - digital days? For the elementary school (where I have friends with kids still there) the things they were supposed to do? Play a game. Build a snowman. Read for 10 minutes. Uh huh. Just gonna leave that there.

Stay warm and dry ya'll!

Day 28 - What small thing that happened today are you grateful for?

Today I let everyone, and I mean everyone I met, go ahead of me in the grocery store. Everyone is so stressed these days. I thought holidays were supposed to be fun? We really make it more than it should be. Anyway, I'm grateful I have the time and energy and mindfulness to let those very busy people go ahead of me. ;)

As I said, I went to the grocery store today. Those of you keeping track (because I know that you do - heh) will say, "But she goes on Thursdays! What ever is up with that??". Not to worry, I'm just flipping as I usually try to go really early on Thursday and the streets can be sketchy really early. I don't want to fight the slippery streets, the cold, the dark and then trying to get back to my 9am yoga client. Which, I might add, is all I have for the holidays and she canceled yesterday due to business. Probably that darn 2 hour delayed start and she had to rearrange her schedule to accommodate that. Ah well, life do get teejus.

I'm still working on putting stuff out/up. I'm pretty sure shopping is finished except for the obligatory trip to World Market to pick out weird stocking stuffers for the boys. I go with His Lordship and we make an afternoon of it. I don't know if we'll go this week or next.

I hope everyone is enjoying a nice day!

Day 24 - What challenge are you grateful for?

My challenge the last couple months has been to keep it together during this difficult time. Dealing with all the stuff that goes along with mother has been a huge challenge; but I'm grateful for all that she did for me while she could.

As predicted, yesterday was a chill day. And chilly too! I don't think the temp got over 40 outside and it's even colder today! Brr.

I texted with a friend while we watched the Vikings lose; sad. But it's just a game and it's a great excuse to visit with my friend whilst we commiserate/cheer on our team!

Dinner was in the crock pot (pulled pork) and I made a batch of pitzel dough and rolled the balls. Unfortunately, the boys were late (as they are more than likely) and I was too tired to cook them. It takes a while as you make one at a time on the stove. They needed to leave in a timely manner; dontcha know?

They both said they are looking forward to coming over on Christmas Eve which makes me happy. Possibly sometime this week we'll dig Christmas out of the rafters and get it set up.

Today is laundry and I'll start working on those cookies!
