So far this day has been terrific. We woke up to the morning news and all the talk about the snowstorm. Finally, the predictions proved accurate and there was already a foot of the glorious white stuff on the ground by 6 AM. Despite getting official word from work, Karlo and I deemed the day a ‘snow day.’ If need be we would take a sick day. But as it turned out, there was no need for that. The company called off work! Yipppeee. Ahhhh to be a kid again with the absolute thrill over staying home for a day. And for me, it really is like being a kid. I’m inside playing while poor Karlo is outside laboriously clearing all that snow . . . and by the looks of it, it will likely take him all day. Just the deck took an hour!
This has to be the greatest feeling ever. I have the whole day ahead of me with nothing that I have to do. Sure I spent the last hour doing some YogaDudes work that needed to be done. And then there’s the working out that I ‘have’ to do, and the taxes that I should start . . . but I have plenty of time to just relax, read, and play in the snow. I simply can’t wait for Karlo to finish plowing so we can snowshoe or ski. A dream come true. I wish this day could last for a week. Maybe it will snow again tomorrow . . .

I had to be to work at 7am this morning. Hospitals don't have snow days...... We had 18 inches in our driveway by 6am and I made Ang get up to clear the way for me to drive the 4 wheel drive truck to work. Made it to work in 40 minutes ( usually takes 15) and Angelo ( being a "non-essential State employee) stayed home and cleared the driveway and sidewalks 4 times before the snow stopped. He even managed to get to Dad's before he got too involved in clearing his own driveway. ( that man is soo stubborn can't wait for anyone to help him!) Glad you enjoyed your day off. Nicole has tomorrow off from school too.
Oh good. I was worrying about Dad all day. I know he's too stubborn for his own good and it always scares me. Glad you made it home safely!
