Snow day

Thanks to my ballet training, I have good self-discipline. Which means sometimes I drive myself too obsessively, these days, mainly with my writing.

Today we have a weather warning, with freezing rain and wet snow making the road conditions treacherous. People are advised to stay off them. Although I don't have to go out, I decided to give myself a snow day and simply relax with one of those two good books I was given for Christmas.

Kind of a busman's holiday. Good for mental health and at least I can justify the skiving by telling myself reading fiction is always a learning experience as well as a pleasure for me.
