This will be my third winter in North Carolina, and yes I can assure you that I do miss the beautiful warm Miami winters. I am not a fan of being cold, or of wearing so many layers. But this is where I live now, and I'm just going to suck it up and deal with it.
We're currently under a "Winter Storm Warning" which in a way reminds me of the tropical storm warnings back in Miami. Sometimes nothing would happen, other times the tropical storms were as bad as fully formed hurricanes. Here's hoping we just have a little snow that melts away fast. Why? I don't want to miss work, and I don't want to shovel the snow.
Then again, I did get new snow boots, so I do kind of want to test them. The question is, should I have bought ice cleats?
Remind come summer, when I start to complain lightly about the heat that I was freezing in January.
Nothing much else happened today. Went to work, did some inventory prep, and then went home and read a bit. 
I make a pledge every year to read at least 25 books. Some reason I exceed that goal, and some years I don't even make it to 15. Last year was a year where I didn't meet my aim, that's mostly due to the changes (school, work, life), but I hope this year I can fix that. I'm already on my third and fourth books for the year. Yep, reading two at a time! Luckily one is a fantasy novel while the other is a detective story, so it's very hard to get them confused.  
I have a thing for detective novels and police procedurals. I'm sure in another life I must have been a detective or a mystery writer. I love the thrill of a good mystery, though I'm sure if put up to the challenge now, I would end up with a killer on the loose. 
Or maybe I just want to be Kate Beckett. Yeah, we'll go with that.
I'm about 150 words from my goal, but I'm not sure what else to write about other than the usual "I'm cold and tired, snowmageddon" so I guess I'll just leave it on this note.
It's going to snow, and per the usual, the city is gettinSnowmageddon. We usually get a few inches of snow, nothing too crazy except for when it freezes into ice. I live in walking distance of work, but my boss made mention that I could stay home since I am not comfortable driving in the snow/ice. So the question is, if it does snow as much as everyone is overreacting about, do I go into work? Or do I play it safe and stay home? Only time will tell, and I'll keep this blog updated.

STARTING...AGAIN?

Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. It seems to be a constant trend no? And it’s not like I don’t have the time to update this and actually keep track of… well everything. A routine is what I need, but how do I hold on to a routine when work doesn’t allow me to? Meaning that my schedule varies week to week, and I’ve just started school again (yay?), and I need to start getting my butt into the gym again. Ok. So that’s what I’ll do. I will set a routine, or attempt to. I will sit down either at this laptop or my phone and just write. Doesn’t matter what I write, as long as I put letters together to make words, to then makes sentences, to then make paragraphs, etc etc. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Let’s leave this on a Start

Be a Super.

I'm gonna be honest. I really don't feel like doing this today. I physically do not feel good, and there's a bunch of stuff currently going on behind the scenes that I just don't want to discuss in a public space. It might be like this for a while, so these posts are probably going to be short for a bit. Sorry. Day 2: A person you admire. I think I covered something similar last month, and I think I said something along the lines that people can always let you down so try not to put much hope in other people. And considering how the mighty have fallen all over, its hard to have heroes. So I'm going to go with the fictional kind. I've been reading a lot of old Wonder Woman Comics, and the more I read, and the more I move away from the movie representation (which I love btw), the more I look to a fictional character for strength. And this isn't the first time I do this. It's very easy for me to look to fictional characters for inspiration and str...

Which definition?

Day 27: Conversely, write about something that's kicking ass right now.  This feels like an AP English assignment, that is if I'm understanding the use of the word "Conversely". Most white allies would rather not use their privilege for anything other than making a small statement, although conversely some white allies will be kick ass like Jessica Chastain and use her position of power to make sure her costar Octavia Spencer be paid the same as she, using her white privilege for good. That is the standard definition and use of "Conversely" that I am aware of. Or do they mean "conversationally"? In that case: Did you guy hear how Jessica Chastain is totally kicking ass right now? From what I read online, she saw that her friend and co-star Octavia Spencer was getting the same amount of pay that she was getting for the same project. So instead of just stating her objection like most white allies, she actually did something about it. She to...
