Be careful in Connecticut today!

The TV weather guys are delighted that there is a kitchen sink storm outside. I tried to get to work but had to turn back, a rare concession to the slippery roads. At the bottom of the Hill ("It's always easier to go down than up, Mom" per Noah at 10), I had to wait out a tractor-trailer snarl near the highway. Second thoughts about my little 10-mile commute so I slid my way to a Friendly's and called in to the office. Now I had to go BACK UP the Treacherous Hill, white-knuckling all the way. My light little Nissan made it in 2nd gear altho I didn't make the slope of the driveway. The car is beached as far up as it would go out of the way of the plows.

Another day alone in the house. This was great from Friday till Monday. Now this day will give me cabin fever for sure. My friends are still on vacation and Bro Phil's house is too far to attempt. Yeah, I have some dvd's to watch but yesterday I maxxed out on relaxing and feel at loose ends now. Good day to work on resolutions, maybe venture out with the camera, catch up on artsy projects. Lucky I have vacation time or my paycheck would be evaporating.

Note added later: I got started on those resolutions and altered my fave gray pants and my embroidered denim skirt. Lots more to do, of course. How empowering to actually get up off the saddle and do something productive! And I printed up the list and will hang it in plain sight so I can't avoid it.
