Snow Day!
Well, not really...
We've been having weather here. This is different for us, as normally we just have climate. Of course I think the rain made my son was extra special hyper this morning, and decided to muck with my spinning wheel, which he just can't seem to resist. So I decided this morning was the day to show him how it worked. I spent 15 minutes trying to find my little bag with the oil, whorls, orifice hook, etc.
Could I find it?
Nope, so I made an orifice hook out of a paper clip and muddled through. But it left me feeling extra frazzled that my house is a wreck and I can't find anything. While I was showing the kids the spinning wheel I was mentally running through the calendar trying to figure out when would be my next day at home without the kids...
Then the phone rang. It was work calling to say that the power was out, the library was closed, and I didn't have to come to work today! (Not from snow, since I live in Northern California, but from rain and high winds).
Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but it was such a treat to get a free afternoon off!
Of course, I haven't spent as much time picking up as I wanted because the Italian had some suggestions of things I needed to do, and I do have Punkin at home with me, but still it's better than nothing.
I'm making good progress on the Seraphim shawl, but I'm getting to the slow stage, when each row seems to take forever. I got nothing done last night, but that's because I was in bed, asleep, before 9:30, and I slept until 7 (with only two interruptions). This was heaven for me, as I normally get about 6 hours of sleep, at most. So a "snow day" after a full night's sleep - wahoo!

Hurray for unscheduled days off! I wish we could have had a 'snow day' at school, because the kids were wired, and one of our teachers was almost blown off her feet. Hope you enjoyed the extra time.
