Snow Snow Snow Snow Snow (Lots of It!)

Well, only about three inches, but it's awfully pretty. I feel somewhat suspended and isolated and coccooned in white on this three-day weekend.

I have work to do, but I am making a promise to myself this semester. I am giving myself time off when I need to take it. Since I'm only teaching one class and only taking 13 credits, I should have the time to do what I need to while still being good to me. I don't feel I've been very good to me for a very long time. So. I have lots of work planned for tomorrow, but today is my day off, and I'm treating it as such.

The only thing is, I don't know what to do...

If I were in Portland, I would buy myself a nice dinner, maybe treat myself to a visit to Powells, walk down Trendy-Third and just windowshop. Here? My options are a bit limited. But I don't want to waste my day off watching tv or playing video games. I want to do something enriching and fulfilling. Let's see... I could do karaoke at the Slurp and Burp. I could... No, they're closed because it's Sunday... They're not open nights... They're owned by freaky Christians who believe education is the devil... I guess I could go to Starbucks...

I suspect this may be one of the reasons I tend to do a lot of homework.

Not to rub it in or anything, but I happened to be planning to do almost exactly that today, here in Portland.

The Mothership is calling her children home. In all things, I have learned to obey the summonses to almighty Powells.
