Living like a kid

[resonant]

If the new interim pastor (who doesn't have a nom de dreamwidth yet) was looking for a way to endear himself to me, he's found it: yesterday he looked at the weather forecast and declared today to be a paid snow day!

As it turns out, we could all easily have gone to work; we've got maybe four inches, which stopped falling at about midnight to give the snowplows time to work, and it's already 36 degrees. But I am certainly not complaining, especially since the kidlet had to go to school!

Apparently, when given an unexpected windfall of a day off, the first thing I do is sleep very late, and the second thing I do is go around the house treating all the drains with baking soda and boiling water, and the third thing I do is start some laundry, and the fourth thing I do is post to Dreamwidth. Hi, Dreamwidth.

Hi! Snow days are the best.

I haven't had one in years! I have a high opinion of the new interim in general, but the fact that he went around to everyone on Thursday and said, "We might need to call a snow day -- can you get your most urgent Friday work done today?" definitely gave him a boost.

Hi Res! I'm glad you had a snow day!

I wish I could send one to everybody, because they are the best.

Ooo, is a baking soda-boiling water combo good for drains? I'm assuming sink and shower drains?

Hi!

Yes! A tablespoon of baking soda, washed down slowly with a kettleful of boiling water. You're supposed to do this once a month, but I don't, unfortunately.

I'm sure the boiling water breaks up grease. I don't really know what the baking soda does.

Thanks, I may give that a try!

sleeping late is the best. I LOVE not having to get out of bed at a specific time - doesn't happen often so when it does I embrace it with great glee.

I couldn't even tell you the last time that guilt didn't get me out of bed sooner than I wanted.
