Today was a much better day than yesterday. Today, I was on the other side of my insomnia. I slept for several hours – in a row, even – and my work day was much better for it. It’s a lucky thing too, since I had another one of those long-ish days where I forget to eat lunch until almost 3:00 PM. But it was a good day.
When I woke up this morning, our streets were covered in fresh snow.The first shot captures the fresh snow outside of my window at work. I couldn’t get a very good snow picture on my camera phone, which is too bad, since it’s quite lovely. Even though snow (and ice and moisture) is the bane of my existence as a crutch-user, I love the way it looks when it’s fresh and falling.
The second shot is the stack of books I distributed to new students tonight. I work with adult undergraduate students and tonight was the first night of a brand new program. While they are mature working adults, they still had the new student look – nervous, jittery, and excited. I love the first day of school.
After I distributed books and welcomed new students, my husband drove me home. Due to the snowy roads, we took surface streets through downtown Minneapolis and bypassed our typical highway exit. I remembered in the car that I hadn’t taken too many good pictures and quickly snapped the shot as the car weaved through traffic. Of course, it turned into my favorite shot of the day.
