One Snow Day

Sometimes all you really need is one snow day to get you through a bit of the wintertime blahs. I sure did. One phone call giving you the freedom of one lovely day off, without sleeping till noon. One delish cup of french press coffee and oatmeal (real stuff on the stove, not from a packet at your desk like every other day of the workweek). One hour at the gym without actually taking an intense (but in a good way) class. One leisurely lunch at your favorite restaurant with your favorite boy. One cozy pair of slippers to wear (almost) all day. One load of laundry, because you need to be somewhat productive. One chapter (and likely more) read for the new book club next month. One pot of Lady Grey in the late afternoon. One sunshine filled apartment whose long over-looked dustbunnies finally met their match. One plan to go visit the coolest tree in the park soon (so it still looks like that). One hefty portion of the best-ever homemade mac 'n cheese from last night's perfect dinner with the boy waiting to be heated up as a quick bite for one. One early bedtime in preparation for one more day out of the office before just one more day and then the weekend (!). One cozy down comforter and one happy girl who just needed this one day off!
