snow day! snow day! seventeen-below day!

mood: hungry
music: cake talk with mum
CPCetc: swash swash buckle buckle

My life so far today:

05.45: first alarm. wake up. re-set. go back to sleep.
06.00: second alarm. same deal. have weird dream.
06.15: third alarm. get up. hop in shower.
06.40: breakfast. realise I spent twenty minutes in shower. surprising lack of panic. start first cup of coffee.
07.00: drive to school. roads terrible.
07.05: discover school is cancelled. quietly rejoice.
07.15: take Christie and Hilary home.
07.30: arrive home. get stuck in driveway.
08.00: burrow under blankets. read ninety-eight pages of Nick Hornby. pine to go record shopping.
09.30: turn out light. attempt to fall asleep. phone rings. groan.
09.35: attempt by Da to guilt me into going to shovel my grandparents' driveway. call grandparents. line busy. start second cup of coffee.
09.45: attempt to work out uni registration. takes approximately an hour to resolve. Da goes to shovel walk himself.
10.30: call grandparents. discover Da's evil ploy. guilt ensues. ponder more coffee. consume phallic but delicious fruit.
10.40: go back to bed. begin writing pointless minutes.
10.55: begin third cup of coffee. throw on some Richard Thompson. decide to find something constructive to do.
12.00: watch old Twilight Zone re-runs with Da.
13.00: drink something that isn't coffee. admit to finishing off the pot.


And this? This is why I love snow days. That and soup. Damn good soup.
