Winter Wonderland!

It has been a very strange year, and the weather is rounding things off nicely!  This last week has been titled "Artic Blast" by the local news.  We have had snow and ice all week.  I woke up this morning to a view very much like Christmas morning from "A Christmas Story" (without the killer icicles).  As I sit here typing this, snow is starting to gently fall again.  I'll have to take some pictures and post later today.  David has been able to work from home, which makes my heart happy.  It is nice to not have to worry about him on the roads.  Instead, I get to feel safe and warm with David and Riley around.

This is also my first week of freedom!  I guess I picked a pretty good time to quit my job, at least weather wise.  It would have been a huge stress for me to have to drive in to the office.  I don't do so well moving about in the snow and ice (bad knee, I'm overly paranoid that I am going to dislocate something again in a horrible fall and have no one around to help me and I'll be found an hour later purple, crying, horribly contorted and with a frozen, wet bum).  David has been so sweet and supportive.  I'm slowly working on getting things around the house in order.  I just don't want to be a huge distraction while he's working, so I think I'll do more of the noisey cleaning while he's getting some work shop time next week.  All and all, I'm starting to feel like myself again.  I'm one very lucky lady.  I have the best husband and the best kitty cat ever!
