Snow Day!

What a great feeling it is!

More than anything else, the question people ask me most often is "What time do you wake up in the morning?"  The time varies based on what's going on, weather conditions, lots of factors.  The inevitable follow-up question is "What about weekends?"  I liken my weekends to school snow days.  Yes, after so many years of waking up stupidly-early, my body is conditioned to it and I wake up at around the same time on the weekends.  Difference is that I quickly figure out it's a weekend and can go back to sleep.  Kind of like when you were a kid and you woke up and realized that you didn't have to go to school today.  It's a great feeling and one that grown-ups probably don't get to experience all that often.  I'm at work today, have been since 2 AM (see what I mean about my wake-up time needing to vary?).  Lots of plow drivers, folks who shovel snow, emergency personnel, first-responders and essential personnel all have to go to work today.  To those folks we should all say "thank you".  If your job and lifestyle will allow it though... I strongly encourage you to take a snow day today.  It's a great feeling!
