Hooray, yesterday night brought the first snowfall of the year and it was gorgeous! It felt like a real snowstorm, with howling wind and swirling snowflakes galore :-) Waking up to fresh, untouched snow on the ground is quite lovely and makes up for the less enjoyable consequences. There's more snow on the way apparently, so I'll make sure to take some photos later. Today I was mostly inside and only ventured out to return a library book and buy some food, including a roasted barley drink that I'm trying out in place of coffee. I've always been more of a tea person, but lately I've been wanting coffee for some reason. Maybe it's the aroma and comforting richness :-)
Yikes, it's only 9.30 and I'm falling asleep already! Ever since the sun started setting so much earlier, I've been unable to resist sleep at ridiculously early hours. Oh well, sleep is good. But I also want to eat more in the evenings, so I feel a little like a hibernating bear.
I have a couple more weeks of work left and then I'm taking a long vacation before (hopefully!!!) flying off to Korea. It will feel amazing to have oodles of free time - cooking, exercising, meeting friends, making Christmas cards (or at least writing messages in them) - there will be time for everything! I'll miss the students a lot though :-(
Alrighty, my comfy bed is calling me :-) Sleep is utterly irresistible :-)
Have a fantabulous winter-y weekend!
The snow looks beautiful in your picture, Lucy! We've yet to get any snow here - just a lot of really cold rain. I agree with you on the short days: I've been heading to bed earlier and earlier as the days get shorter. Oh well, more sleep is good, right? :)
ReplyDeleteAre you on vacation now, then? Did you hear back about Korea?? My fingers are crossed!!
Hey Lucy! Just wanted to say hi and hope you're doing well! Hope things have worked out for you and I can't wait to hear about your latest adventures :) Happy New Year!
