inside coziness

A proper Snow Day. Nu's school canceled, all my meetings were canceled, and the snow fell all day long. I love the hush and stillness the snow brings. Max was delighted and kept ringing the bell to go out so he could scamper and roll around in it.

Big A went out on errands and brought back two trays of macarons, a sheet of tiramisu, two fruit tarts, and a handful of other treats, so I guess we three humans here are properly fortified for whatever weather-related inconveniences the weekend may bring. LOL. 

We watched Bottoms and Barbie both of which we'd seen before... Barbie made me very sad this time. That Billie Eilish song kind of broke me. 

(Just a note that we're worried about Huck, who seemed to have recovered from Scout's loss, but suddenly seems very frail. Perhaps it's just in contrast to Max's leggy, Kool-Aid energy? Maybe Huck needs an anti-depressant? We have an appointment with her doctor next Friday; fingers crossed.)

How old is Huck, Maya?
Your snow day sounds lovely and cozy, especially the treats!

Your house has so many cozy looking spots. It looks like a good place to hole up on a snowy day.

Happy snow day!

We were supposed to do a big advising and registration event for freshman and transfer student who are starting next semester and we had to pivot to a virtual event because of the snow and this week was craziness as we tried to make that work and then I had to monitor the situation and doing advising appointments on Friday and whew. I didn't get a proper snow day, but now I have a three day weekend!

Snow Day! I remember those.
I love this cozy spot in your home. It looks warm and comfy. And that haul of macarons would not be safe with me.

Nicole--Huck turns 10 this Feb. They're just a year younger than Scout.

Gillian-- Thanks!

Steph--Thank you. There were six humans (my parents lived here 6/12 months) when we moved here. It feels too big for us now.

Engie--Thank you. I hope you get to enjoy your 3-day weekend!

Nance--Thank you. (The macarons are merely a historical fact now. Haha.)

a feast

There is a strange loneliness that descends at the end of a semester. There are all the goodbyes of the last day of class, commencement, put...
