I’m really not used to protracted cold weather in Western Washington and the last month or so has been nothing but consistently odd and inconsistently COLD. Last week it took me three hours to make a normally 30-45 minute drive home and I left work early, long before everyone else panicked. It’s been between 25 and 31 since – that’s three days that I’ve just stayed home. My blog has more details on the scary drive home and the crazy slip-and-slide of my attempt to leave the house yesterday.
Of course the enforced homebound-ness would be more appreciated if it were not in the company of a five year old who really wants to play and a husband who really wants to talk to me.
On the good side, I came up with a really interesting story idea that the Muses have created from my annoyance with the weather and my fascination with storms, especially lightning storms. If I manage to complete the test reading I’m working on today, I will try to post the short start of that idea.
