Snow Day

Before you judge me for taking a snow day, please know that I TRIED to go to work. Really, I did!  I packed a lunch, made my coffee, bundled myself up, and trudged through the not-yet-cleared sidewalks to get to the subway station. Upon arrival, I witnessed the MASS CHAOS that was occurring and did an immediate about-face. I texted my boss and apologized, but I would NOT be making it into work today. I never take sick days and have very rarely missed a day of work…I still felt like I was breaking the rules.

That was until the reality set in that I had a PERSONAL DAY. The world was my (snowed in) oyster and I could do whatever I wanted. Watch Law & Order all day? SURE. No pants? WHY NOT. Take a nap or three? I’D BE STUPID NOT TO. My high school and university never gave us snow days, so this new and foreign concept of having a day off absolutely baffled my frozen little mind.

It is now that I understand the importance of a personal day. Consider it a mental health break…there is nothing better than the guilt-free joy that comes from a day spent on the couch. I did enough laundry to clothe a small nation, took a few too many selfies, hot glued rhinestones to an object for a gift (which will be blogged about eventually), and baked banana chocolate chip muffins (I am a domestic goddess). I was proud of myself for being moderately productive, but I did spend a good chunk of the day being nothing but lazy. Along with this couch surfing came Instagramming…since I wasn’t faking sick, I could post on social media to my little heart’s desire! Here are some of the pics that did (and didn’t) make the cut.

I hope you get a chance to go play in the snow, or at least enjoy the snowfall from the toasty comfort of your own home. Take a snow day and LIVE YOUR LIFE!
