I went to work on Tuesday. Checked my emails, deleted the week of vacation that was on my calendar and made a list of things to work on this week. (small list as I am waiting for feedback and answers)
There was a forecast for snow on Wednesday and I told my boss that if I was snowed in I would call, I didn’t have anything pressing and wouldn’t be driving in. Thursday and Friday I thought I would be back in the office.
What I didn’t realize is that I would still be stuck in the house three days later, no cable, no internet and if it weren’t for my 15 foot commute to my gym I wouldn’t have gone anywhere. (Guess I should have just left the vacation on the calendar)
Today the rain finally started, I have broken trees, broken branches, probably destroyed rhododendrons and a collapsing gutter. The pot of soup I made on Tuesday has gotten me through but cabin fever is getting serious. My housemates are stuck as well, so we played some Wii bowling last night. But today when Viv went to go for a walk the road crew told her it was too dangerous with the falling ice unless she had a place she had to be.
Since there is no internet (I am writing this in a draft to publish once we are on-line) I am cleaning out drawers, working out, doing some writing and listening to music. I am officially tea-logged as well.
Here are some pictures…..

The Tacoma Dome looked really strange from the bus this morning. There were big sheets of snow/ice all cracked and slowly shifting down the side of the dome. Wouldn’t want to be standing under that!
And the ice on the trees is so pretty but it can’t be good for them.
Snow days were fun but I’m glad they are done. They are done, … right?
