I don't really like the word "slump", but that's a good thing I suppose since being "in a slump" isn't supposed to be appealing. I've been feeling depressiony-icky for the past few days, and I really can't say why. Possibly because things with a few of my friends haven't been going well, possibly because things with Byron haven't been all that awesome this week, or maybe even because, if there's even a God or higher power or anything out there, they have decided to hate me.

I just noticed that whenever I use my hands for things like playing the piano or typing on a keyboard, they always get cold, but my pinkies are the first fingers to feel the effect. Odd.

Wisconsin has recently had snow dumped on it, and I mean that literally. Wednesday we only had a couple inches of snow, but last night and into this morning there was a really bad snow storm, and now we have a good five or six inches of snow, if not more. Wednesday there was a long list of schools closed throughout the area, and I definitely wasn't expecting a snow day since my school district has only closed one or two times my entire life, but this morning I really thought we would finally get one. My city even issued a snow emergency, but even with that threat we were the only district in the entire county that wasn't closed! A school just a few blocks away from us was closed, so why not us?

After first block was over, I found out that people finally got some sense and decided to "close" school after all, but only for those who hadn't shown up yet, which is almost as bad. Half the school struggled to get there relatively on time, and the other half just got to wallow away because they were lazy. I'm sure some of them really couldn't leave home because of car problems and such, but I know of many who just decided to have their parents call them in "sick."

And I still haven't been able to play in the snow yet. I need to do that tomorrow... I was invited to go with someone today after school, but I had promised I'd help edit for a while, so that was a no-go, but perhaps I'll be able to do something tomorrow with them. Perhaps.
