Repeat after me. I will not give in to the snow...

Went to work in the snow......and I watched it fall all day. After work we stopped by the fish market and I took a bunch of pictures. The clouds were stunning. The light was all over the place. You could look out on the bay and see where it was raining and about a mile away where it was really sunny.
This has been a really stressful week. I am so looking forward to singing tomorrow at an arts festival in Brunswick.
I am starting to feel the stress of the holidays coming. My room is a mess and I need to clean it. But my bed is comfy and tv is pretty good and.........it can wait.
We have been thinking about having a clothing swap at work. I have so many clothes to bring to it........ NO Supertramp! I am NOT giving up the green cardigan!!! . I have everything from size 6 to 12s. I have NO idea what those are in other countries but those are US sizes.
Today I brought in some photographs left over from my show. Our office adopts a family every year at Christmas time. We are having a silent auction for a fund raiser. I brought in two pictures today. I hope they do well.
I have my photos hanging in my office as they give patients something to look at when they sit at my desk. It stops them from staring at me as I enter the information into their history. That used to freak me out. I am always worried that my hair is a mess or there is spinach in my teeth or I have toothpaste on my shirt collar........ok let's be honest many times I do. The photos draw the attention away.
Lots of people comment and I tell them about blip. One woman said with pursed lips
" oh, so you are into photography?" I said yes. She said and I kid you not......." So is my grandson, but he's good"
I started laughing and said "how wonderful you must be so proud!"
Things people say crack me up.

As I sit here it occurs to me, why do I crave ice cream the night before I sing? I usually try to stop eating dairy a day or two before I sing. I really want to go finish off the cherry vanilla in he freezer. You see I love cherries. Chocolate covered cherries make me sing. Fresh cherries make me happy.....cherry jam......I will smile all day.
An apple will have to do. .......

It's getting late and I have tons of laundry to put away. So I am signing off......
Good morning down under and goodnight to the north.
