\"Snow\"Since it\u2019s snowing as I type this and is supposed to be for part of every day for the next 10 days, I feel qualified to describe what I could do on inclement days like these. I could<\/em> paint a masterpiece, sew a glimmering ball gown, sculpt a museum-worthy bust of Alfred E. Neuman, or compose an opera in Italian.<\/p>\n

Actually, I couldn\u2019t. Don\u2019t know masterpieces from Paint-by-Numbers, or how to hem a skirt, much less sew a ball gown. If I tried to sculpt I\u2019d probably cut my hand with the little thingy you use to chip the marble or make a mess of the clay, and it will make me sound kinda red-neck, but I\u2019m a fan of George Strait, not opera. Realistically, I will write and read. Or maybe read and write. We don\u2019t have children to blast out of bed or grandchildren to find entertainment for, and I don\u2019t have to trudge through a foot of white stuff to get to work. The only thing I have<\/em> to do tomorrow is prepare dinner, and even then, for a tip, Pizza Hut will trudge through the white stuff. So, I\u2019m even off the hook for that.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t judge me. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I take heart in the fact that I\u2019ve worked a bunch of years to get to this point, and I am going to enjoy it for all it\u2019s worth. For many of those years, I didn\u2019t get time off when it snowed, even though we lived in Virginia where whole towns shut down when a few flakes fall from the sky. And in all fairness, sometimes getting a couple of new chapters written\u00a0feels<\/em> like work, even though getting through them will be joyful. You know what I mean!<\/p>\n

What do you<\/em> do on those days when the white stuff is falling? Please<\/em> don’t\"Baking\" say you do stuff like bake bread, organize a caroling group to appreciate the snow with song, or anything like that. You’ll just make me tired and I’ll have to slip in a nap between reading and writing.<\/p>\n
