It’s snowing outside my house. Spring was tantalizingly close last week, and here we are under a nice blanket of snow. I expected this from February, to be honest. I can live with snow – I have a nice warm house, plenty of food, no need to leave and drive… until tomorrow anyway. I’ve had a lazy morning, even.
I wrote a nice essay on Mary Higgins Clark and the evolution of Gothic romance over at the Mad Genius Club if you’re looking for a somewhat tongue-in-cheek read today. The rest of this post is going to be me musing on what kind of priorities I need to set for myself today.
Do I bake? Probably. I’ll get fat, but what a way to go. Do I clean and organize the desks (there are three, ghu help me)? Do I organize my library, again, with the new bookshelf in play? Do I reorganize the pantry since the Little Man got involved and now I can’t find anything. Do I tackle the garage… no. Cold concrete floors, brrrrrr! Laundry is on hold until tomorrow because the dryer is broken. Who would have thought the lint trap/filter cover could break and start destroying clothes? Well, it did, and thank goodness for Amazon and next day delivery. So I have the big projects of:
Desk Organization and cleaning
Pantry re-org, along with the rest of the kitchen if I really want to snowball the whole day.
Library – mostly the non-fiction shelves, there’s just some fiction that needs shelving. And the neverending debate of ‘Dewey decimal?’ or ‘Logical subject division’ because that’s not actually a strength of Dewey when applied strictly.
Or I could just curl up in a warm spot and read.
Writing? Sigh. Not unless the muse takes mercy on me, I’m afraid.

Library reorganization out west, following the funeral of the nicest guy in our shop. Hoping that I don’t REALLY need another bookshelf.
Maybe some snow theme baking. Anything that includes shredded coconut, or could be covered in shredded coconut becomes snow themed. Or iced with white icing, or marshmallow fluff.
Maybe a chocolate cake, topped with a dragon, and the dragon rider could have black hair and black clothing.
Yes, a Jon Snow cake!
And reading, there should reading.
Currently reading Seized: A Sea Captain’s Adventures by Max Hardberg and it is inspiring my muse.
