Vortex

The vortex is upon NYC once again. The snow has been falling since early today, and the temperatures are in the teens. Winds are blowing the powder everywhere and creating massive drifts. I stayed indoors all day and watched tv. I'm now on season 2 of Breaking Bad. I love it. I decided to make myself some breakfast and attempted an omelet. I succeeded, and it tasted amazing. I was very proud of myself for that small accomplishment. Soon after, my mom left to pick my brother up from school. It took her an hour and a half for a trip that was usually 20mins (at most). I made hot cocoa for the first time when my mom and brother returned. They enjoyed it, and Erik even said it was the best hot chocolate he had ever had. Not bad for my first time. My mom and I waited for my father to get home from work. It was taking a while, and he was late arriving home. I decided to go outside and shovel the snow. So far, I'd say we have about 6-8 inches of snow on the ground, with more to come. I suited up in layers upon layers of clothes. I don't own any snow pants anymore, so I borrowed my brothers (which were actually big on me). I never realized how much work shoveling was. It takes strength. Or maybe I'm just weak. I did my house and my older neighbor's house. I did his steps, turned around, and most of the work I had done was already snowed over. I got back to work and cleaned it up a bit. My dad poked his head out of our front door and told me to come inside. I guess while I was leaving out of the back of our house, he had come in through the front. Weird timing. I came inside and had an eggplant parmesan hero. It was delicious. Now I'm going to go shower. I feel kinda sweaty. I really hope classes are canceled for tomorrow. Pray for me.
