Mission accomplished!

That is to say, I managed to avoid just about all productive work today and treat it like the holiday it sort-of was. Oh, I did a little laundry and went for some groceries, but nothing that was like real work.

Otis slept in pretty late (but then most anytime seems pretty late when you've gotten up at six) and had her own little breakfast bar on the living room coffee table. When she finally got moving, we moved with purpose: we took a walk through the winter wonderland down The Ave and through the U-District.

Actually, you couldn't really tell there was a snow day going on as soon as we dropped a little off the Roosevelt plateau. The streets cleared, and people were going abut their business: the storm's effects were as spotty and localized as predicted.

Since we were strolling, we picked up some Chipotle's burritos and met Dingo at her work (the U-Dub never closes!) for lunch. The building she works in is indeed a sterile, soulless, seventies monstrosity, but I think the view from her office might just make up for it. What do you think?



After lunch, we made our way back to the RD via University Village (or Satan's Disneyland as Dingo calls it) so Otis could check out some music at B&N. In the afternoon, Otis had a massage client and I busied myself with house stuff; we just took a walk to the store and are about to call it a day.

I hope your snowless snow day was just as fine.
