The kids had a snow day again today. I think we’re all enjoying these extra days at home together. It really was a mess of ice this morning and then rain and slush toward the afternoon. Tonight we’re supposed to have more freezing rain and everyone is waiting to hear if school is cancelled again.

I’m still feeling very relieved to not have to worry about another class. As the various teach-out options have come out from the school, I’m surprised by how many are going the fully online route. One of the things I’ve loved about LCU is the in-person classes. It’s really sad the school is closing. They have such a good program and excellent teachers.

One time in Hoyleton I remember looking out the window thinking, “Snowy days are great as long as/because there’s nowhere else to go”, and I felt so thankful that on that day and on many others I didn’t. I don’t know why that’s such a prominent memory, but it comes to my mind fairly often. I still think that.

I just read a Substack post by Samuel James titled Taylor Swift + Travis Kelce is Good, Actually. He gave ten reasons why. I think it was meant to be a serious but still light-hearted post. His reasons were fine and I generally agree with them, but it did not convince me to care more or have any particular feelings about whatever is going on.

My reason is because he is just a number in a long list of people she’s dated. I was happy for her and Joe, and those two I think lasted the longest, way longer than the others. I seriously don’t mean to sound judgmental, but I don’t see why Taylor Swift having a boyfriend is that big of a deal.
