What's my state again?

There was some pretty significant weather in Texas today. By pretty significant, I'm referring to freezing rain and sleet, enough to result in horrid driving conditions and a large increase in the use of our heater. I fell asleep last night under a sheet and three blankets with two cats nearby for extra warmth and woke up to a phone call from my director at work. She let me know the roads weren't drivable and that the office would - at best - be closed until early afternoon.

What did I do when I heard this news? Promptly returned to the mentioned nest of blankets and cats for a few more hours of sleep.

I'm not sure what it is, but going back to bed when you would regularly be going to/getting ready to go to work feels exceptionally good. As in, the kind of good that makes you want to roll around and get comfortable because you don't have to be at work - yet, you're still getting paid. In short? I got paid to sleep in. Gotta love it.

The weather didn't relent for the rest of the day. The rain did stop, but freezing temperatures kept up and eventually the decision was made to keep the office closed for the rest of the day.

Verdict?

I did a major happy dance. Then went back to bed.
