It's a Tuesday night, and I'm at home. I've been home since about 5:15 when I parked my car in the parking lot and entered my apartment.
Why is this important? Because it rarely happens. Most Tuesday nights I'm at a game of some sort, taking hundreds of pictures for the paper and then getting home after 9. It takes awhile to unwind, of course, especially if the game was anywhere close to exciting, so I don't even think about bed until much later than I probably should.
But tonight? I might just go to bed today instead of tomorrow.
And why am I home on a Tuesday night? That is the question, after all. With apologies to Ken, I must discourse briefly on the weather. Sunday we had rain most of the day, although temps were in the 40s. Monday was a different animal. It started to snow overnight and the wind was howling. Individually, those aren't unconquerable. Together they're a monster, a.k.a. a blizzard. Or at least blizzard conditions. We were in a blizzard warning most of Monday, school was cancelled, businesses closed early or didn't open at all - except us, of course.
This week is the Central Conference basketball tournament. That's Seward's conference. So with the weather Monday, Monday's games were moved to Tuesday and Tuesday's to Wednesday. Then today was still cold (it is winter, after all) and I don't think as much snow got moved as people expected. Now Monday's games, which were moved to Tuesday, will be played on Wednesday. Tuesday's/Wednesday's games are now Thursday.
Long story short - there were no games tonight so I didn't have to go anywhere. It was great. I had Pizza Hut bring me dinner and I've spent most of the evening working on my stamp collection. I got the 2017 pages and was putting stamps on them. While most will think that's a rather nerdy pursuit, I'll agree. But it's been very relaxing.
Tomorrow everything will crank back up to speed, I'll make sure the camera card is cleared off and photos are uploaded, but the few moments of down time have been enjoyable.
