Holiday Snow

Dec 28, 2009 by Naomi.

Snow falling at 0530, a light dusting already covering everything. Cars of the Safeway employees across the street have not yet returned from work. The two cars of their kids have been there since last Thursday. I took an allerClear2D4 for sinus congestion (from Cosco). Lots of water. Next door Wade left, walking resolutely with his cane, getting into an extended cab pickup, as I witnessed the day after returning home from Bellingham on the seventeenth. Only a few colored lights are on along Abbot Street. Not seeing any traffic. Fixed two slices rye toast, butter, cup hot Ovaltine. Wolves are beginning to take shape in the jigsaw puzzle on the table. Ashton was working on it at 1230 am when I got up to the toilet. She and Bracken had been sifting through the pieces, more moony eyed over each other than concentrating on the puzzle. Ashton would have taken him home sometime after I went to bed around nine pm. My privacy was invaded on Dec 17 and even when I am here alone there is no feeling of privacy. Odd that sensation! I feel much like going back to bed right now. I do intend to do my time at McNary Education Center from 9am to 1pm but uncertain about napping until time to go. Should be good photos waiting to be taken along the trail if snow continues. A good update for the website. I read “Beyond Namche”, “The Open Door”, and “Wildly in the Rockies” to renew my ability to write novels. A plot set in Alice Springs, Australia, keeps haunting me but hasn’t yet gotten into Toshiba. Climbing the sacred monolith was an experience I haven’t written about so perhaps now is the time. I mentioned going back to bed. I am.
