Last night, I got the "late start" call. And this morning, 15 minutes before my alarm was set to go off, I got the "school is canceled" call! Roomie and I were both thrilled to have the day off! (She's student teaching at another area school, and her school was canceled, too.)
I had so much work I could have been doing ... but I didn't bring any of it home with me because I honestly thought we'd have school today. It only takes five minutes to drive to work, so I could have gone to pick some stuff up, but really, did I want to go through the effort of showering, drying my hair, and scraping off my car? Nope! So I decided to declare today a "me" day ... and let tomorrow worry about itself.
So today I spent my day
- baking bread. I used this recipe, which I found on Pinterest. It tastes great ... but the loaves look nothing like the pictures on the website!
- washing dishes. Becasue I baked bread.
- rescuing my cats from the dog next door. Don't ask me how I feel about that dog. It's not pretty.
- catching up on NCIS, Hart of Dixie, and New Girl. Plus an episode of The OC thrown in for good measure.
- reading Siri Mitchell's Unrivaled. I had mixed feelings about it—look for the review tomorrow.
- chatting with Blendy. (Maybe if I link to her enough times, it'll shame her into actually updating her blog ...)
- napping. I never nap ... but I did today!
- watching Cool Runnings with the roomie. I kept telling myself I wouldn't cry at the end, but I did. I swear, I'm turning into my mother!
All in all, it was a fabulous, unexpected, much-needed day off!
