SNOW

             I seriously thought we’d get through this winter without a spec of snow. I was wrong because I woke up this morning to find snow, big fat flakes, falling. My car was covered as was the lawn and the entire garden. Fortunately, the streets were bare, so while it was cold enough to snow, it wasn’t cold enough to make it stick there.

          Of course, I took this opportunity to forego my exercise class because it snowed. Later I learned that none of the schools in the area were cancelled or even had a late start. So, I could have bitten the bullet and gone to my exercise class. And, I probably would have except I had a horrid night and couldn’t get my eyes to close for longer than a few minutes at a time. I have no idea why unless it was the medication they injected into my gums in the morning so they could do a crown. I know it does contain some form of ephedrine so perhaps that was it.

          Still, I didn’t feel horribly tired and didn’t really sleep when I opted to return to bed. It’s now noon and the snow is turning into rain, so all the white stuff will undoubtedly be gone by the end of the day. I do have a couple of errands to run and am meeting friends for lunch, so I’ll be venturing out in just a few minutes.

          I seriously hope this is the only snow we’ll receive this winter. I prefer the rain because I can still go and do without worrying about anything. Ah, for those days of youth when snow was an exciting event. Now old, I do find it quite pretty, but don’t like the idea that it can cause havoc with any plans I’ve made.
