Snowed in...

So, yeah...I'm sitting on a "bed" in the admission/discharge unit here at UNC. I've been tossing and turning for hours and just wish I'd pass out asleep. It's hotter than a bad girl in church and I've got the sniffles. How does THAT make any sense? The "rooms" are separated by curtains so I can hear everything the people around me are doing, everytime they roll over. Overall, it's pretty darn nice. I mean, besides not sleeping. I'm sitting here, connected to the internet on my cute little netbook that Jay got for me and, I'm trying to make the best of this. I'm debating whether or not to get up now and go shower...or to lay my tailpipe back down and force myself to close my eyes. There's a constant hum that I hear...usually that would knock me out like a baby. But, for some reason I find it annoying. I turned the oxygen on over my head :0) to try and drown out the noise and maybe put some clean breathing air between my curtains :) I've got a slight headache and the housekeeping man is whistling down the hallway. I mean, for real? I've tried texting Jay but he must be napping. Dayshifters arrived today, luckily. However, the bad news is that it doesn't look like I'll be going home tomorrow morning either. The roads are bad despite the fact that it's no longer snowing. I'm sitting here dreaming of a cup of coffee- warm and toasty and nutty. I can almost feel the hardwoods on my feet at home. To be honest, it feels like I'm in bootcamp right now. I know that I appreciate everything in my life, so why do I have to be stuck here? You'd think that without Seth crying, and without Jay's phone ringing and dinging every 5 minutes that I would have laid down and been out for the count. No sir-eee. I'm wide-eyed and bushy-tailed. I'll have to get up at some point and go down to my unit to shower. I hope it isn't disgusting where other people are using our shower!!! I'll post more pics and be chit-chatting soon. You know I can't resist. I'm so thankful for my little laptop. I'm thankful for a lot. I'm going to tiptoe to the bathroom and see if I can climb back in here and sleep. Sweet dreams and happy snow day to North Carolina!

About Me

My photo
Welcome to my blog. It's a dedicated place for my book reviews, criticism, and love of all things bookish. I am a mom of 4 busy kids that uses reading as my, "thing." I find that reading books turns off all (okay, mostly all?) of the noise of my world and lets me get away for a bit. Reading helps me escape the reality of the piles of laundry that will never be done, the dust bunnies that I swear will one day grow legs, and the emails and outlook calendar that occupy my life Monday- Friday during working hours. Reading is therapy for me and always has been. I've always been a big dork, introverted, creative, and reflective. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd probably open up a used bookstore with my standard poodle somewhere on the side of the mountain and surround myself by others who enjoy passing their time reading. Until then, I'll keep on keeping on. And, I'll settle for reading when I can. Which, I try to fit in as much as possible. Cheers to your busy life and mine, doing the best we can, as often as we can.
