Day 2-1 -- Welcoming 2015

As I promised myself, no work done today -- not for the house or the job. I spent New Years Day catching up with friends online and by phone, and spent a bit of time with the stamp collection (not nearly enough for what needs to be done there, though).  I began by watching the Rose Parade, a tradition since I was a child. Each year I marvel at the amazing designs and creative use of plant materials.

If the meteorologists are to be believed, there is a major storm headed this way for the weekend. Nasty weather appeared west of here in Ontario today, so winter really has arrived.  I will admit that the threat of snow, ice and rain for Sunday has me thinking that I need to shop Saturday and take the heavy books into the office that day, too. My first class of the term is at 8:15 AM on Monday, so if I can't get out of the driveway due to the street plough blocking the exit, I'll need to walk. Carrying as little as possible is the best way to manage that successfully. So -- while I didn't actually do work today, it did creep into my thoughts regularly <smile>.

This song has been running through my head today after it was shared by a friend. It really is the perfect song for the day. I love the independent work of this artist and the visuals that accompany this are entertaining. Happy New Year! Enjoy!
