Hello, Amanda.
The Nor-easter did arrive, as expected, and my call came this morning at 4:45 that we had no school. Several schools were already cancelling last night, as I saw during the 11 o'clock news, but my district was not one of them. Still, I was absolutely 100 percent sure we'd have no school--which is part of the reason I was up until 11 to begin with. (I watched the 2-hour episode of Brothers and Sisters and--you guessed it--wept. Do you happen to watch that show? OMG.)
I've had a good day so far. I was out and about pretty early so I could clear off my car and move it so that my parking space can be plowed, then went on a cleaning frenzy in my kitchen before lunch. Now I'm taking some time for espresso (I've been into making espresso again lately in the afternoon) with a little amaretto on the rocks on the side. I was tempted to make an espresso martini, but thought that might be a bit much. That is, I knew I'd probably have a second, and then my plans to make pizza (chicken, spinach, mushrooms) and put together a nice salad for lunch tomorrow and finish a piece I'm writing would be out the window. Espresso and amaretto is not a bad consolation prize, I must say. It's like having coffee and a cookie--only in liquid form.
Despite, or in light of things with M, it sounds like you are doing well, staying grounded, reminding yourself of things it's important to keep in mind and seeking out the appropriate support. I commend you on keeping it together. And I'm so happy to hear about the GWAGA. Still, I hope to hear from you later. If I'm rolling dough or otherwise engaged in Barb's Bistro, I won't answer, but will call you back when I'm done.
Love,
Barb
