Blessings: heat, coffee, and a weather delay

This morning, I'm counting my blessings, and the first thing on my list is the two-hour weather delay we have for school. I have a head cold and I'm rather tired from this long Thanksgiving break, so sitting quietly, listening to the fixed pellet stove tick and hum while drinking coffee is a true gift. 

I had a guest speaker cued up for school today, and now I'll have to try to reschedule her. It's not critical, though-- and I hope she gets my message that we are on delay time. One small complexity, but I can roll with it. The other small juggling of schedule I need to figure out is the impending delivery of the new dishwasher-- finally-- which is supposed to happen between 12-4 today. Well, with the delay, I won't be home, but Meg will keep an eye on things. I just hope the cruddy weather doesn't push the delivery further into the future. 

November has been a weird month, yet again. So many extremes, so many issues with technology and appliances and so on. And family crises. And and and. It's fitting that it is going out with a icy/slushy/snowy event. Well, we do have a few more days of the month, so maybe it'll ease into December. I sure hope so. 

I've had two nasty head colds in a row, too. Not fun. I rescheduled my dentist appointment the last time, and here we are again. I'm supposed to go to the dentist on Thursday, but if this cold continues to be gross, I will likely have to push that appointment again. I hope not, but that is a minor detail. 

So, back to my blessings. Family, faith, hot coffee, fuzzy bathrobe, and a couple of extra hours to get motivated. Fair enough. 

Be safe, folks. Take your time.
