Delightfully slow morning

I am having a delightfully slow morning. It’s Thursday but I seem to be pretending that it’s Sunday.

My original plan for this morning was to wake-up, go for a run once there was enough light out and then head into school. Well I woke up at 6am (earlier than intended – my body is still sort of on East Coast time) and lay in bed listening to NPR for about half an hour. We got a dump of snow last night. By “dump” I mean an inch or two. The University is open but all the public schools are closed. So I cancelled my early morning run for fear of ice and crazy drivers and spent a good hour or so eating oatmeal, drinking coffee, answering emails and updating my budget. Lovely.

I’ve decided to move my work-out to the noon hour either outside or at the gym and work from home this morning. I feel as thought I’m doing a service to hummanity by not trying to get on a bus in Seattle today during the morning rush hour. See when it snows the buses get off schedule and there are extra passengers (who I assume would normally drive) so generally it’s a mess. I’m staying out of it.

I think my lazy morning is coming to an end though and I should probably actually get to work soon. Before that I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Yea, I know I’m over a week late but I just got back to Seattle on Monday so I’m still playing catch-up. I had a lovely Christmas vacation though. I did my usual tour of Ontario with stops in Ottawa, Toronto and London and then spent at week in the Caribbean with my family. It doesn’t get much better than that.
