Humping It.
Today is humpday; at least many people refer to it as humpday. Maybe it's because of the hump, but it seems like things just kind of stalled today. It's been busy for at least a week with little time to spare. Today kind of just crashed. Not in a bad way; everything just came to a standstill.

We are under a winter storm watch, or warning, or expectation; something wintery anyway. As of last night, we were to expect about six inches. As of this morning, there was barely enough of the white stuff to cover the sidewalk. As of this afternoon, it was snowing harder, and as of now, it's stopped again with maybe an inch of new snow. The National Weather Service people say we could get two to four inches by tomorrow afternoon, but then they have issues with their pants catching fire. Just in case they are right, however, we decided it's a good day to just stay home and take it easy.

As for more snow, it doesn't matter to me; both my wife and I are ready for spring, but we also have a new hobby, snowshoeing. We've only been out a few times, and so far we haven't had any deep snow; we've hiked packed trails and a snow-packed back road.

With the possibility of bad weather today, I didn't do much, but it's kind of nice to have a relaxing day. I guess you could say, I'm just humping it today.

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
