Since it’s 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 paint a masterpiece, sew a glimmering ball gown, sculpt a museum-worthy bust of Alfred E. Neuman, or compose an opera in Italian.
Actually, I couldn’t. Don’t know masterpieces from Paint-by-Numbers, or how to hem a skirt, much less sew a ball gown. If I tried to sculpt I’d 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’m a fan of George Strait, not opera. Realistically, I will write and read. Or maybe read and write. We don’t have children to blast out of bed or grandchildren to find entertainment for, and I don’t have to trudge through a foot of white stuff to get to work. The only thing I have to do tomorrow is prepare dinner, and even then, for a tip, Pizza Hut will trudge through the white stuff. So, I’m even off the hook for that.
Don’t judge me. 😉
I take heart in the fact that I’ve worked a bunch of years to get to this point, and I am going to enjoy it for all it’s worth. For many of those years, I didn’t 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 feels like work, even though getting through them will be joyful. You know what I mean!
What do you do on those days when the white stuff is falling? Please don’t
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.
