Staring At Another Day

I am staring at another day of doing what I want 
A whole day 
Twenty-four hours 
Not easy to embrace 

It is too cold to go outside
 I have called two friends and spent three hours 
Painting in my studio 

Great fun? 
Not exactly. 
Would be but... 

My brushes are too used 
Not as much fun now 
Perhaps today 
Happened for a reason 

To show me how horrible It will be 
To retire and have all day 
To figure out where and 
Who I will be 

Also a wake up call 
Showing me that I need 
To order new brushes
If I expect to enjoy 
Spring break In two weeks 

Good plan, God. 
Bravo! 
Well played 
Tenth snow Day of this Year...

Now that's something; having been off work so much that you need new brushes!

It is CRAZY. We were to get out on May 22nd. We are up to June 4th now, and it looks like school will be cancelled again next Monday. We have not had an entire week at school since Jan 4th.

Thank you Heidi. I realized after typing this I have five packages of new brushes; I just have never opened them. Saving them for whom? Good grief!
