Arctic Vortex

I think that's what the news said we are in.  An arctic vortex.  Sounds scary, doesn't it.  We are in the midst of a winter weather/ wind chill advisory.  When I awoke, my phone said the temperature was -18 and the news said the wind chill was around -42.  Luckily, my employer cancelled our evening classes and I was able to stay home for the day.  Trooper has been dozing away and I have stayed busy with reading, crafting, cleaning and yoga.  Although I like to go to work, a bonus day off isn't bad every once in awhile.  By tomorrow, I am sure I will have ants in my pants and cabin fever and be glad to get back to work.

These are days when it's nice to be thankful for our warm and cozy apartment, our little fireplace and big cozy couch, leftover soup for dinner and defrosted gingerbread for snacks.  And a puppy friend to keep me company.  Stay warm, dear friends!
