Here's a pic from my window this evening.Today was just strange. One of those days that started out lousy and did a 180 by the time the sun went down....or in this case when the snow fell! My patience was low because I had not slept well for the past few days....but I managed to hold it together for work (its not really optional), then coming home there were 'lovely' unexpected surprises that really tested my ability to hold myself together. I was so unbelievably tired, yet I was not going to be able to take that long awaited nap after all!!! I became so focused on my readings that when I grabbed a quick bowl of cereal for dinner before rushing off to class, I almost dropped it in the sink because I hadn't realized it had started snowing! Everything was white......so it hadn't JUST started, it had been doing its thing for quite awhile. Of course I had left just enough time to get to Chilliwack under 'normal' weather conditons......but now?? IIIEEE, I couldn't find anything online and no one was answering the phones at the UCFV campuses as to closure. Buddy Mike helped me out and gave his bro a ring in Chilliwack, and it had just started snowing there.......so I hopped in the car with the intentions of getting to class (a bit late) and leaving early if the conditions deteriorated. This was not the ideal way to start the evening.... I wanted to stay home and play in the snow and take my nap OR go to class in the rain....I can handle rain! BUT crossing over the overpass I saw that traffic was crawling on the #1, so I turned around and came home! Getting ahold of my prof, she said that I should stay put. Yay! Whoo hoo. I didn't even realize how much I needed it, but roomie Jenn and I went for a lovely walk around Mill Lake and then I watched a much needed chic flick.
At 5:30 this evening I was like a half charred marshmallow, just starting to fall apart but still holding together, (that was the first thing that came to mind) now after being able to relax and have some fun, it feels like I've been able to be put back together and tomorrow will be manageable now. I think God sent the snow just for me, and I'm thankful and loving every flake.....and not because it got me out of class! (I love my education course) I'm so glad He knows what we need, its pretty amazing. Bedtime!
