House bound today...snow, snow, and more snow plus ice...portland just basically closes down...no chains=no driving...so I worked on AS 8 assessment for the accrediation; read; more work on search committee; cooked turkey/pototoes for lunch...very good. I am trying to get my confidence up to start cooking more often..went for a walk this afternoon but turned around after about 1 block, if that--too icy and windy. Stayed in bed this am and watched the birds fly around the tall buildings...snow falling...so peaceful...just rest, work, and some reading...pretty balanced today for a change...got the big project over so don't need to worry about this vacation time. PSU is closed tomorrow but I am going to get out of here for awhile...downtown at least...getting cabin fever...not really. So, glad I am not traveling anywhere cuz it would be pretty messy trying to leave portland. So nite nite....quiet dreams! Just like this arrangement of soaps from Paris...
