129A

I always have mixed feelings about being snowed in.

On one hand, I do enjoy the slowness of a snow day. The pace of which the day unfolds does not matter because there is quite literally nowhere to go.

On the other hand, driving is how I pay my bills as well as fund my life. So when I can’t drive the paycheck is taking a hit.

I live in this catch-22 feeling on days like these; maintaining productivity while trying not to stress over my finances because I can’t control the weather Jackie. Although, so far the day has been relatively pleasant. Rem enjoyed not having to get up early for a student council meeting as well as having a snow day and I was able to start organizing my social media platforms to designate a purpose for each one (easier said than done). I was also able to make the time for a keratin hair mask treatment, long shower, breakfast in bed, submitting my past due EOD forms, emailing in my recap from the southeast trip, and now writing. For as much as I loathe that I am not making money right now, I do enjoy how much I have been able to accomplish just for me.

The whole getting socials organized, prioritizing my goals, making a plan thing has been difficult for me but certainly doesn’t stop me from trying. Sometimes I feel like Mother Nature is forcing me to take care of myself when she incites such weather. It is quite literally the only time I actually take time for myself to focus on what makes me feel good and fulfilled; it’s never about tasks on a to-do list on days like today, I just exist for myself. I also put on a comfy and chic outfit even though the only people really witnessing it’s perfection are Rem and myself. It just felt good to do it, to feel pulled together even though I am probably not leaving home for the next 48 hours. The button down is made of silk and cotton with an already worn in feel without it being worn down. I also picked it up for $3 when I went to my local thrift a few days ago and after today I have decided that this is a top that needs to be passed down in my family line because the quality is just that good! An added bonus is that silk vibrates at 5,000Hz and cotton vibrates at about 3,500Hz, meaning that the vibrations emitted naturally from the fibers will elevate my human vibration as I wear them. A higher vibration means a higher frequency and a higher frequency means less stress and more good feelings.

I suppose we will see how the rest of the day pans out. I hear the road isn’t terrible yet even though a second wave of snow is coming, maybe I can make one pop up today. Or maybe Mother does something that the forecast isn’t calling for to make me continue my creative process. We’ll see!
