After three months of school living on my own, followed by five exciting days on the East Coast, being snowed in at home is rather unwelcome in its quality of drastic change. Every time "White Christmas" or "Let It Snow" comes up on Pandora, I mentally growl at it. Who says we've no place to go? I've got places to go!
(My personal favorite Christmas song is "Santa Claus Is A Black Man." I pretend it's got something to do with Obama.)
Yesterday I finally got to holiday shopping. It was amazing to get out. And as frustrating as the snow is, it seems to bring out the best of Portland in people who are out and about. I saw a guy offer a ride to some people waiting for a bus (undoubtedly a late one) and some pedestrians help push a car that got stuck in a driveway.
Today however I was struck with severe disappointment when stupid Kaiser told me I can't get my glasses prescription because the center where I had my last eye appointment is closed by the weather today. I just want to get a new pair of glasses before school starts again, and going out to check out frames was going to be my entertainment today.
And the last other person is leaving the house, so I really have to find something to do.
