Awake

Snow?!

Late last night I kept waking up to these odd swishing and sliding sounds. It sounded like a large group of skateboarders where repeatedly going down Lithia Way, over and over and over again. Perhaps what I really heard was a school of snowboarders swishing in the snow-laden street. Regardless, I woke up a little bleary-eyed from my disturbed slumber to an odd glowing emanating from behind the mini-blinds. It looked to me like a snow glare. Couldn't be. Snow? No way. I separated a section of the blinds with my fingers and what did I see? Well you already know, snow! And lots of it, too. Several inches at least. I was taken aback.

Even if I did listen to the news, the weather forecast only called for "maybe an inch" so I don't think I'm the only one surprised by snow this morning. The forecast calls for rain and snow all week. Just as long as it clears up by Friday so I can drive North weekend after this, I'll be happy.

I really should have done laundry last night. Lugging laundry 2 blocks up hill through the snow doesn't sound that difficult, just a wee bit inconvenient. Sigh.

Happy Friday the 13th.
