I got the snow day I wanted! School dismissed two hours early yesterday and there was no word on school today until about 7 a.m., but the call did come and we were closed! Granted, I then had to call, email, and/or text students in the classes that would be affected by the closure today. I had to repeat that process when they announced a remote learning day for tomorrow around 5:30 this evening.
Regardless, I got my lazy day of deep couch sitting. I propped up on the couch in my fuzzy robe under my fuzzy blanket with a crochet blanket project in my lap. After my fill of storm coverage on the news, I put on “The Office” and binged several episodes. There was a delightful nap after the noon news in that exact same position on the couch. My in-progress blanket is large enough that it was a nice extra layer of warmth during my nap. The dogs were squished in against my legs and feet. It was glorious! Not a single dish was washed or piece of laundry folded. Except for the work I had to do, I was completely lazy. I have to go back to work tomorrow, albeit on a two-hour delay. But I’m not dreading it. I haven’t dreaded a day at work since I started this job.
My office is tiny. It’s only me in there. There’s a frosted film stuck to the little window in the door. I don’t think anybody would know if I did my work in my fuzzy bathrobe. If nothing else, I may take my furry slippers to wear under my desk. Without the students there because of the remote learning day, who’s to see and tell on me?
