It was so icy in New Jersey today that my husband's company let everyone go home at noon. Of course since we now live in Arizona, he had to keep working. On the bright side, he didn't have to deal with driving home in the nasty weather, so he's not complaining. The company I worked for before I moved to AZ wouldn't have let us go home early if the world was ending, so I'm happy to be job free and in a place where 50 degrees is cold. I suppose I get a little homesick from time to time, but it never lasts long. The weather in Jersey has been lousy and it's not even officially winter yet. I miss my family and friends, but I don't miss NJ. Out here, the worst we've had to deal with is a couple days of rain and a cricket that won't shut up I haven't even heard the cricket for a couple days, so maybe the cold got to him. I can't even say it'll be odd to celebrate Yule without snow. I can see snow on the mountains every time I go outside. So I'll just enjoy my time of massive unpacking and cleaning before I return to the evil world of work, and hopefully, back to college for a degree in library science. So I'm off to put more books on my book shelves.....I'm rapidly running out of space, but there's always the hope of another book shelf.......
