What did I say? I thought it might be a snowy March and it seems to be holding true. A couple inches fell last night and we are looking at a Nor’easter on Monday that may bring 12”-18” of snow.
The library board already canceled our monthly meeting because the snow is supposed to start on Monday afternoon. I’m expecting a snow day on Tuesday as well. Hopefully the winds won’t be too strong, but the generator is ready in case we lose power.
Maybe we all can curl up like Marlowe here and enjoy winter’s last hurrah. In like a lion as they say, right?
Aside from the usual meetings and stuff at work this morning I participated in a Narcan training. It’s definitely something I have been meaning to do for a while. The course was sobering and informative and I now have my little blue bag that I will keep with me. The truth is, you never know what people are struggling with and it doesn’t matter where you live. Hopefully I will never have to use it, but I am prepared to if necessary. It’s just the reality of the time we live in, sadly.
Here’s another thing about me: even though I work with the public, I would not call myself a “people person” as they used to say in the 80s and 90s. Most days it is fine, but some days, like today, really stretch my limits. It was a bit of a challenging afternoon, but I made a last-minute decision to order out fish & chips and make an impromptu Ollie’s run with Laura. I bought a few fun things like a new Taste of Home cookbook (because, really, can you ever have enough?), some new bath poufs, a great deal on Neutrogena Hydro Boost cleanser (which I love) and Laura got fancy conditioner, watermelon lollipops, Cheez-its… It was kind of a silly, fun haul, but much needed. And the fish & chips were absolutely delicious — exactly what I needed to reframe my mind, LOL! Luckily, this is a pretty low-key weekend so this introvert has a lot of time to regroup.
