I have nerves settled in my stomach today (or maybe it’s that chocolate I ate -- well, I put them out for public consumption, but no one else is doing their part).
I assume the jitters are related to my trip home, planned for today, and the snow forcasted ditto. I haven’t been home in 6 weeks, haven’t seen T in 4. Also, after 2 consecutive snow days this week, which caused me to end a trip early, miss seeing some friends, and spend 48 hours cooped up in a hotel room, I’m really not ready for more snow.
If the weather will only cooperate, this has the potential to be a better than ideal weekend. My definition of an ideal weekend includes a strenuous outdoor activity (hiking, climbing, rowing), some socialization with friends, and, of course, a strenuous indoor activity (of the horizontal variety). In this case, ‘better than ideal’ comes from the possible addition of birthday presents, though if my family runs true to form, there will only be the one from Ted. Though at least the ones from my parents and uncle usually do get there eventually, which is more than can be said for Little Brother. I have some hopes his new girlfriend will eventually bring about reform in this area, as in others, but we’ll see.
I just hope the snow holds off!
