Day 4 - The word is "where I sat"

I wasn't quite sure what to do with this prompt.

"Where I sat"

First inclination was to simply stand up, turn around and take a picture.  Obvious.

Then I thought of doing a collage picture of all the places I sit in one day.  Tedious.

I had a fleeting thought of wishing I still had my big green comfy Lazy-Boy.  Now THERE'S a story!  But it died in my fire, I have it no more and this is not the time for that story.

I thought about an outside shot but ... well ... there is ice and snow falling from the sky and I'm not going out.

So I pondered.  

And I realized in my typical fashion that I was trying too hard to do something simple, creating the proverbial mountain from the mole hill.  

Sometimes it simply is what it is.  No huge story.  No long memory or idea.

Just something basic.

So this is it.

Today we had a "snow day".  I had gotten up and ready for work but in the 20 minutes that passed between the time I had originally taken angelpup out for his morning bush inspection and going out to take his morning walk, the sidewalk had coated with the slippery clear stuff and more was spitting from the sky.  A call from the manager and we made the executive decision to have a "bad weather" day.  So, back to the bedroom and out of the work clothes - into the comfy clothes, thus profoundly confusing the angelpup.  Yet with a clean house and, since I have company coming tomorrow night, no desire to make a mess, I had nothing really exciting to do.  So I gathered my Kindle, pulled up a new book, made a pot of tea and, with fresh cuppa and cuddles from angelpup, I opted to spend the day sitting and reading.  It was comfortable and soothing, quiet and refreshing.  

Some days you have long stories.  Some days you have excitement.  And some days it's about being still and gathering the peace into your soul. 

Today was that day ... "where I sat"
