Snow Day

I grew up on the Winter Prairies where there was no such thing as a Snow Day, although we often had snow.  Winter Prairie snow is dusty and dry and it doesn’t generally block roads or cause the kind of Armageddon that it causes here on the Wet Coast. Snow Days are a real possibility here and probably the only bad thing about working from home is missing out on the joy that a Snow Day brings.  However, tomorrow is an Out day, the one day a week I have decided to participate in the world, so if tomorrow is, in fact, a Snow Day, I will partake in joy with my friends.  

Let’s pretend that tomorrow is a Snow Day. I have no meetings booked because I am meant to be Out in the world.  If tomorrow is a Snow Day I will drive in the snow to the closed school to bring breakfast to the caretaker because that is a tradition.  And then I will go to the grocery store and buy things to make soup.  Coconut curry. With shrimp.  And cilantro, lots of cilantro.  If tomorrow is a Snow Day then I will bring soup to T and pretend we are on vacation and that she does not have cancer.  And then I will have a nap on the couch and dream about summer.
