...sailor, take warning!
And the morning horizon was a blazing pinky-red. Oh, yeah....we're in for that storm they've been forecasting. Our forecasted snow totals have gone from an impressive 6-8" to an alright 4-6", and back to a rather solid 'uh-oh' 8-10"!
We won't be shoveling, not much.
I may go out one last time early in the afternoon to fortify our larder since, once the snowfall begins, we are going to be socked-in for a few days. Nothing big in the way of groceries, just things like cat litter, hamburger buns (I feel like sloppy joes for some reason), carrots, facial tissue. You know, odds-and-ends-sort-of-stuff.
I don't think Karl realizes how far he has come with class this semester, and how close to the finish line he is. The end of April marks the end of the current semester, so essentially eight weeks is all that remains for the winter term. He is doing well, keeping up with homework and passing exams with ease. Quite a departure from most school experiences to date!
Thank you, God.
I know Karl doesn't see the progress, doesn't feel a swell of pride in himself (although I wish he could) at this achievement, but perhaps some day it will make itself known. He really lives "in the now" for the most part, and only recently began to project his thoughts to the future...but those are fleeting moments. However it happens, we'll take what we can get.
He is planning on taking a summer class, so now is a good time to begin thinking and arranging. Perhaps I will take one as well!
More later, right now I feel a surge of doing welling up inside, so I am going to run with it!
Later, 'gator.
