stupid fucking snow
Mar. 23rd, 2015 09:58 amToday - Unexpectedly working from home. I left the house at 6:30 and sat at the bottom of the big hill on the only plowed road between my town and work. I sat there for an hour. Finally, someone coming the other way stopped to say that they were just turning people around and the road was closed. I was going to try to go in around 11, but then was on the phone with people and deep into figuring out some things and now it's afternoon and I'm still at home. This sucks.
No idea if I'm going to dance class or not. Not sure what the roads are like now and what they'll be like late tonight. Blast.
Yesterday - Got a lot of sewing done. Made a cardigan for my mom and another Bimaa shirt for Emi. I used the cowl neck variation this time. She's not sure about it, since it's kind of a weird line. It's really cute, though, and she seems to like it. I also did a ton of laundry, as per usual on Sunday.
Also, got thoroughly disgusted by first the snow flurries and then the intense snowfall. Stupid Wisconsin in spring. Grrr.
Saturday - Thought I was going to have to do some work in the evening, but my coordinator for the organization decided not to have minute-by-minute updates. Stayed up too late as a result, but it was okay. Didn't really do a whole lot of importance, but had a lot of ennui. I did some reading (Prudence by Gail Carriger) and taped together some patterns, but didn't have a whole in the way of accomplishments.
Friday - Left work a little early on a gloriously warm and beautiful evening. FINALLY got my bangs trimmed and went to the spa to get my face wash and make an appointment for post-workshop. Emi had her Girl Scout meeting where she had to turn in ALL the cookie money, so I had to count and recount what I had to make sure we had the right amount. I ended up covering for three people who hadn't gotten me the money in advance, but whatever.
While Emi was in Girl Scouts, I went over to Culver's and had a scoop of custard and read my book. I decided I didn't want to hang out at the meeting - letting Emi have something on her own - and I didn't want to go home. It felt good, especially on such a beautiful evening, to do something just for me.

So, yeah, I'm disgusted by the snow today. Now I have work, so I don't have as much ennui, but I really don't want to do anything. I just want to go downstairs and sew, but in this mood, I'm likely to make critical mistakes. Mistakes with a serger usually mean re-cutting the fabric, so, yeah. I'm not sure about that.
But I have a box of Girl Scout Shortbread (Trefoils) that are ALL MINE. And I have tea. And when I get to 8 hours, I can stop working, hug my kids, and then sew or read my current bodice ripper. Then maybe brave the roads and go to dance. Or just sleep.
