Mood:  irritated

I took today off as a personal day, as I needed to drive 100 miles to go to the cemetery where my parents and grandparents are buried.  I needed to put holiday arrangements on the graves.  I do this every year and it's very important to me.  I don't do it on weekends because the drive is just miserable.

But I didn't go.

The stupid weather is prediciting a major, very fast moving snow storm, and I knew that I'd never be able to be up and back before the snow hit.  Besides that, I do like to spend some times stopping in a few favorite stores to do some shopping for gifts, so I didn't want to just rush my way through everything in an attempt to beat the storm.

It has started snowing up there, my cousin sent me an email saying that it had started and was snowing sideways and fast.  Both of those are not good things, and it would have made it a really awful drive home.

I don't know how or when I'm going to get up there now.  I thought that maybe I'd bite the bullet and go on Saturday, but there's yet ANOTHER storm predicted.  I know it's wimpy but I just hate driving in snow storms.  I'm not even fond of driving in the rain.

So today has been a waste of time.  I'm sort of just wandering around here, not really managing to get anything done.  I did sit and knit for about 45 minutes, but I even stopped doing that.  Maybe I can at least get some laundry done.

I have school work to do, but I'm feeling too jumpy to settle and do it.  I think that my system tends to react to changes in the atmosphere and storms coming in.  In some ways I hope we have a snow day tomorrow.  But then, in others, I don't want one at all this year.

I just looked out the window, it's now snowing, not too hard yet, but snowing.

Crud.

I think I'll go watch reruns of Red Sox games........
