Gratuitious Gratitude

I know I should be bitter.  Baltimore County closed schools today; our term ended on Friday.  Instead, though, I am so grateful:

1) Exams are over, and except for one batch of essays, I am completely caught up with grading.

2) The principal gave us each a generous gift and a box of Rhebs chocolate, along with her heartfelt thanks for all that we do.

3) I got all my baking, laundry and accounting done in two glorious days of being snowed in.

4) The cat has finally accepted that for once, she is not interested in being outside.
