Day 6 of Ice Seige Corvallis 2024

It's the 6th day that I've been confined, housebound, due to icy road conditions. Schools canceled again. The outside traffic noises have yet to return though cars sounds have increased by 25%. That is my best indicator of current road conditions near me, counting cars and listening.

I continue to have enough supplies, food, drink and dog food. I must admit, though, it feels quite wretched and miserable being indoors for this consecutive amount of time. Screaming wouldn't help though it feels the appropriate response to the frustration. I'm a walker, a driver, a nature loving photographer, artist who welcomes and enjoys the out side.

Sad. Bummed. Disappointed. 

Each day I say, well, I'll probably be out and about tomorrow,  only that has not been true. Since Tuesday, it now being Thursday, I have thought the next day would bring sun, warmth, and clear roads. Each day I'm disappointed and party to gloom. Hopes dashed.

I sleep extra. Move furniture. Write. Paint. And think maybe tomorrow...
