A change in plans

I'm watching another DVD of "Grey's Anatomy" and waiting for the next snowstorm to hit Lititz. I was supposed to be on my way to Milwaukee so that I could fly to Sacramento with my mom tomorrow. Based on the winter storm warning in Milwaukee, I rescheduled our plans to fly next week. There was a bit of a drama because my mom initially wanted me to take a chance because she didn't want to take the chance of not seeing her sister if she died before we arrived. I understood how she felt but I couldn't take the risk of getting stuck in Chicago.

Premonition About Trip

What was strange about postponing the trip was that I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach all day on Sunday. I even wrote a Haiku poem about it. I thought I was experiencing a bad bout of depression (because I'm currently unemployed) until my brother texted me that Milwaukee was supposed to get 8-12 inches.

A smooth, large gray stone
Sits heavy in my stomach
Don't know the reason.

After tossing and turning for an hour or two, I logged onto the computer and actually looked into leaving yesterday. After a few frantic searches, I decided "I'm not going to go and will reschedule." At that point I could go to sleep.

More Haiku Poems

Here are some more upbeat Haiku poems when I was employed and had the possibility of future employment with the same company:

First snow fell today
Turning the world a bright white
Momentarily

We watched the snow fall
While huddled warm in our car
In awe of nature
