Another Day Off

I'm watching my cat try to go after a wood pecker that is on the outside of the house (the cat is on the inside). There are also turkeys voraciously pecking at the bird feeder that came down in the wind last night. It's my 3rd snow day today. 3 in December is very unusual and I'm a bit upset because it means I'm out $225. But there is some hope that I will get something accomplished today. Christmas shopping and grad school applications are high on the priority list. After all our snow last week is was up to 45 degrees, rainy and windy yesterday. Then early in the morning it dropped about 20 degrees and everything froze. Lovely. On the plus side I have four more days with these kids and this job and then it's officially the holidays.
