And So We Wait. The Predictions are Pretty Wild, and the Cancellations Will Begin Soon (But I'm Ready for them Now)

I needed milk. 20 minutes to find a parking space. 60 minutes to check out. The CT Blizzard panic began early. For me, I just want to know it's all cancelled; that way, I can work with this Sunday very differently. I have a PD in Darien and a late night class, but if they are canceled, I can operate totally different today. I planned on being on campus to get the prep work done, but I don't want to prepare any more than I already have if there isn't going to be an audience for the work.

I realized yesterday I am totally exhausted. My brain isn't working, I don't want to be on screen, and I most definitely don' want to think, which is tricky because that is how I make a living. Of course, the weather also offsets every part of the week, as Tuesday will be another day and it's a marathon, too...as is Wednesday...Thursday...Friday. A cancellation today means that I can forgive myself and just rest on the couch all day. I also have to think about the great shoveling afterwards. I'm already tired thinking of it. 

All of this is to say that I'm at the edge of WAY TOO MUCH. I know I need to pull back and practice self-care. This time I'm really feeling it.

On a happy, joy joy note, Dr. Boquet invited me, Max, and Nohea over for lunch as Nohea was visiting her brother from Honolulu and wanted to see us all. She, as is normally the case, came with a case of gifts...Hawaiian candies, cards, treats. She really is too much. Her brother, sister, and other friends from Hawaii came later and it was just a total trip of warm happiness on a soon-to-be wintry weekend. I loved every second of it.

So, whatever will be will be today. I'm thinking of Lester Lamanek's SNOW DAY story. I'm hearing from everyone that there doctor's appointments, banks, meetings, etc. have already been cancelled. I just need them to cancel schools now and then, ah....a day to rest. 

Rest. Rest. Rest.
