Today is another blah day meaning that it's snowing again. School is closed again - honestly how many frozen pizzas and batches of chicken strips can one family consume? I'm out of ideas and tired of running around. I stayed home last Tuesday due to being snowed in and work sent out a very punitive email stating that they would be kind enough to give us a half day PTO freebie but we would pay for the rest. That really ticked me off because I can and do work from home, meaning after hours and it was ONE snow day, where is the sense of goodwill? My take was just don't get involved in politics. I will do my best to do my best in my work day but I will not be a martyr anymore!
As far as other things go, I honestly don't remember winters getting me so down in my youth. I feel like growing up and in my early 20s, I had more natural rhythms, and living in South Africa was very much simpler than here. We did what we are naturally supposed to do. Hibernated and ate in winter and slowed down. Summer was for shedding weight and clothes, and being outdoors. There was none of this fighting against the system, trying to accomplish huge undertakings every day of the year. We didn't have anywhere to go, no expectations for always being out, busy, active etc. There was natural timing for that stuff. Reading, watching tv, cooking and eating family meals together took up our time aside from working. Sometimes I wish I could just get into a time machine and have that simple life again. But it's like when you cross over to the other side you know too much to just be content with being simple! Always a catch 22.
Blah blah day ...
