the white stuff

sometimes the universe challenges you.
and sometimes it gives you a break.
today was of the break variety. and boy did i need it.

when it started coming down at about 7:00 last night, my mind could only wander to those two beautiful words: snow day. i didn't get my hopes up. in fact, my mood turned sour at the thought of a white covered ground without a day off.
but.
the universe pulled through.
i got to sleep in.

and make french toast.
and catch up on grading.

and bake. a lot.
it was real good.

thank you, universe. may you be so kind a couple more times this winter.
