Ahhh.

What a nice day.

I never even opened the front door, I never got dressed. I love a day like that, especially when it's a winter wonderland outside.

We never really got the volume of snow they were predicting, but we did have a good six inches (or so it appears from the window.) I got the robo-call around 10:30 last night, a good hour after I saw our district listed on the closed schools list on the New Jersey news. My poor new librarian, who cannot be absent for the first 30 days of her employment, went to Florida this weekend for a family function and is stuck there. She called me last night and said she doesn't expect to get on a flight before Tuesday night, which means she'll miss school tomorrow. I hope they'll be sympathetic, since it was all out of her control.

In the meantime, I did finally get all my tax stuff together, and I'll call tomorrow for an appointment. Every year I swear I'll do this better and be more organized, but I never seem to get to do it. I'm always drowning in a sea of papers that I have to sort through to get the numbers I need. I'm going to ask the accountant if it's just as good if you scan stuff and keep the copies that way; if so, I'll shred every bill the minute I pay it. And if I had a brain, I'd keep a spreadsheet of all the medical stuff, since that's always a challenge.

I was very sore and achy afterward from sitting on the floor for so long -- apparently I "file" my papers on top of a box in the kneehole under my desk -- so it was back to the heating pad for me this afternoon. But there was no Law and Order on! WTF? I mean, what's a snow day without a couple episodes of L & O? Sheesh.

School tomorrow, and I am prepared.
