Snow day for work and class...

Today the school system I work in had a snow day.  We didn't actually get too much snow, but the predictions of a nasty wintry mix were enough for over 500 closings in the state of Massachusetts.  My crochet class was also cancelled tonight (thankfully the class will be made up at the end of the course.  So what have I done with my snow day? I went to Panera Bread for free coffee day, and otherwise I have given myself permission to relax some.   I also registered for a class to learn to make Pysanky [Ukranian Easter Eggs].   

What have you done today?

Snow...blech

I am sure there are plenty of people who love snow, but I am not really one of them.  I admit that it is pretty to look at, but I really do not enjoy being out in it.  Massachusetts has been really snowy this winter.  We have had 1 snow day, 1 early release due to impending storms, and 1 2hr delay for school already--hopefully there will be no need for another.  Another, downside to all of this snow is I haven't been able to make it to Tridentine Mass every week.  I don't mind the Novus Ordo Mass every now and again, but 2 weeks in a row is a little much.

Feeding my spirit...

I have come to the conclusion over the past several weeks that living life as a pattern of going to work, coming home, eating dinner , and then crashing is really draining to me.  I decided I needed something purely for me that would be both relaxing and challenging.  Thus, I registered for a beginning crochet class.  My class starts next week, so I will do my best to keep everyone updated on my progress.  I think this will be good for both my brain as well as being some food for my spirit.
