After practically sleepwalking through yesterday (sleepless from 2 am on), I woke feeling refreshed and upbeat this morning. Woot! It’s Friday!!!

It’s been a doozy of a week! Several times I’ve almost used the 6 word memoir format for my posts–something along the lines of :

Conference week. Moving slower every day.

(Or some other grim alternatives that came to mind, but I hesitated to share here due to concerns with who might be reading my blog and what might skirt into the personally identifiable information zone. It’s such a balancing act of creation and curation, isn’t it?)

But it’s Friday now, and no matter that next week is already looking equally challenging (rescheduled conferences from our snowstorm last Monday, several after school meetings, etc.), I’m excited for the weekend. I’m yearning to get down to the marsh or the beach for some sunrise wandering, photography and general rejuvenation. The past few weekends it’s either been dicey driving (ice, snow), free-falling feels-like temps with howling winds, or just an overwhelming volume of work. I am so ready to get out there!

I pick up my phone and see the headline, “Accumulating snow in Maine Saturday with more wintry mix behind it…”

What!? Oh, no! My spirits fall. I try to rally. Well, maybe the snow will arrive later in the day and I can still get out in the morning?

I click on the link and scan the forecast rapidly. My spirits sink. Ugh…

Clearly I need to recalibrate my weekend plans. Sigh…

Well, at least it’s still Friday!
