Tis the season?

Now I know why everyone oohs and aahs at the beautiful turning of the leaves starting in August in New England. It's snowing here! In mid-October!

At first I tried to tell myself that I was being lazy today, and that after sleeping in the Sunday after my long business trip, my eyes were still sleepy and the rain drops flooding the scene outside all my windows just looked "fuzzy." I looked up the weather online, and it said there was only rain. But after being awake for an hour, unpacking, and cleaning, I am for sure now - there are tons of big fat snow flakes mixed in with all this rain.

To make matters more dire, I was a very good planner and made sure to eat absolutely everything in my apartment, save O's cat food, so it wouldn't go bad when I was away for 6 days. Now to eat, I must shop. And from the looks of outside and the 7 day forecast, I must shop for comfort foods, because it is going to gross,cold, and wet all week!

Just when I've gotten the hang of living here, paying my bills here, and not freaking out about how to get places and enjoy myself here, God throws in this new challenge. You see, I can't really even take a nice misty rain during a hot summer. I can't take it when the end of my pant hems get wet running to and from the car in the rain. Rainy days make me grumpy and sad. So this is challenge 2.0 for the new New Englander.Wish me luck as I stock up on soup and a serious scraper for the car!!
