After getting up early to clean the house, to prepare for a home visit from the little man’s teacher, she called to cancel. Doh. At least the house is in better shape than it’s been in, but I could have put up with the mess in exchange for extra rest. Especially as the denizens of this household are coming down with cruddy colds. But instead of taking the opportunity to laze about I showered, recharged my camera batteries, and allowed the little man to drag me outside to use me as target practice (I think the snowball fight scene from Elf is to blame)…and to destroy any snow people I might create. Thanks kid. He left the Princess Leia looking one alone long enough for me to photograph it, but you can’t see the details clearly. Would have snapped off a few more, but my window of opportunity was too brief. When the wind really kicked in and blew all the heavy wet snow off the trees, and onto us, I took it as our cue to head inside…and whip up a batch of soup. No rest for the wicked, however. Soon I am off to work. Sigh. At least it’s Friday. I look forward to a weekend spent recuperating from this lousy week (everything seems lousy when I’m sick).
