Unexpected

Today had a bit of unexpectedness.

• After working for a couple hours The Husband decided unexpectedly to take the rest of the day as sick time.   (Too much shoveling of ice and snow last night.)

• Decided to take a run to Costco (in spite of my vow to maintain a Costco-free perimeter until the first of the year) to get some food for the family that's coming in to visit.  Unexpectedly found a parking spot within view of the store.  Not even really hiking distance away, a mere stroll.
There's a robin up in the tippy top of the tree.

• Decided to check on a small treat The Husband loves but has been unavailable the last couple Costco trips.  Unexpectedly found it.  Yay!

• Took in a movie.  This makes two movies in a row (and we haven't seen very many lately) that have ended abruptly and unexpectedly.  Two thumbs down for that.

• Dropped a box of cookies off at a neighbor's figuring they could use it to snack on in the car on their road trip tomorrow.  Unexpectedly:  they were leaving in an hour.  Good timing.

Snowflakes would make more sense.
• Stepped out on the back patio to snap a picture of the lovely (previously MIA) sunshine.  Was barely missed by an unexpected shower of snow falling off the solar panels.

• And here we are - 9:50 pm and as truly expected  are in our jammies ready for a short winter's nap.

• Just had to take a picture of my boots.  They are fun boots.  I delight in the cute footprint they make although it still mystifies me that they are winter boots with fall leaves for footprints.  Snowflakes would have made more sense.  Still fun, though.

And tonight's gratitude:  for patience.  Not mine, because I lack in that area.  But for patience others have for me.  I need it.
