Ice Day
Somewhat less climactic than a snow day is an ice day, which is what we are theoretically experiencing right now. I got a text at 7:30 which just said "closed!" from a friend. This did not register in my sleepy head. I was justfiably concerned that not only had she sent me a text when she meant to send it to someone else... she did it 30 minutes before my alarm went off.
The shame.
So I got up, turned on the shower... and Whitney started knocking on the door. Are you preparing yourself mentally for some sort of wacky college co-ed hyjinx? Because you shouldn't, you sicko. She just informed me, sleepily, that school was cancelled due to freezing rain and said good night and I forwent my shower in order to sleep until now, which is 12:30. This is mainly due to the fact that I can't imagine that there is anything else to do today. It's an Ice Day!
Theoretically.
Looking outside, I really can't see anything particularly icy... it looks cold... and wet... but there's really not any rain, or anything. It does mean I can't make it to the gym, which is all right becuase I am hurting in a choice few muscle groups. I'll just do my crunches and maybe some ghetto arm excercises and then I'll have to pony up and be responsible... nothing to do today but read my cell bio. Oh happy... happy day....
Re-broke up with Mike, so that has been a point of contention in my horribly fuzzy little head. Of course, all I could think this morning was how it would be so nice to spend a day in bed with him, with the cold outside and the toasty warm cuddling in. This is not meant to be. This should have been not happening for a whole year, but sometimes you have to take what you can get, even though you shouldn't, and soemtimes you have to realize what it is that is going to force you on to expensive anti-depressants and give those things up.
And so I did, and so here we are. The sheer irony of a day when everything is closed down is that everything is closed down. Great day to go out to lunch with friends, if you don't mind the patches of ice that are apparently prevalent enough that they didn't want students to walk on them, their employees to drive on them or buses to careen over them. It's a lot like thinking you'll sit down to level up some when the power goes out. Takes a minute to sink in that... no... you won't... but what a great day it would be to do it, the daring attempt to make it to a venue to partake in some needed, often unavailable time with friends just because you're afforded an opportunity that's unlikely to come again.
Too bad I don't have any friends.
I think it's time to go back to sleep.
The shame.
