The wait is over. The snow came in the night and will still come till late this afternoon. It’s another Christmas in April. Traffic was heavy and slow this morning. I almost fell asleep in the car going to the gym. I wasn’t driving. Needless to say, the gym was fairly empty. I felt proud of myself for not slacking off.

I am proud, too, for completing my tax return and paying what I owe. The weight of avoidance and procrastination lifted. I feel so much better and lighter. I vow from now on to keep on top of my paper stuff by developing a better filing system. I will open mail and deal with them as they come. I tend to collect and hoard and not open. I think I have fear of opening and dealing with mail. It is odd, I know. I am odd. That, I know, too.

It is rather pretty with the falling snow flakes. It is not that cold. Everything is white and pristine. The snow peas, radish, spinach and lettuce seem to love the cool temperature of 4.6℃ in the greenhouse. The seedlings aren’t complaining either. I set a pail outside to catch the snow for water. It saves shoveling. There’s an upside to everything. And I’m still here on this 24th day of the Ultimate Blog Challenge.
