the BRUTAL, UGLY truth of my FABULOUS, BEAUTIFUL life.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16:45 + 01.12.2007 = if i had a meadow, i'd build me a snowman[woman][[cyborg]].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the radar showed nothing more than sickly cloud cover; no sign of snow. i sulkily dressed for work figuring that i might as well go in since the snowstorm looked to be an empty promise.
i reheated the coffee from yesterday and re-poured it into its to-go cup. scarf, coat, stocking cap, mittens, keys, ipod, mobile, cigarettes, lighter. out the door, down the stair, out the orange door, into the brisk. three and a half blocks up the alley: still no snow--not so much as a flurry of a flake.
punch in at 7.39am, tie on apron, affix nametag, start filling the appallingly empty pastry case. 10 o'clock rolls around and with it, comes the third-shift baker whose first words were, "man! lyndale [avenue] was a MESS this morning!"
why's that?
"THE SNOW!!!"
*gasp!* it's snowing!?
"yeah, guy!"
i grabbed a fresh cup of coffee, put on the necessary garb, and ran outside...
a good half-inch had fallen and the snow was coming down readily. five and a half hours pass and my shift is over. i trudge home through three inches of fluffy snow.
it hadn't stopped snowing...
it hasn't stopped snowing...
and it won't stop snowing.
it's time to make gl�gg.
...which'll require a few more trudgings through newly fallen/still-falling snow in order to acquire the ingredients.
and all seems well.
