#snowsunday

Her light hues looked on at the television sitting in front of her. The weather man was saying that New York would be getting hit with a massive snow storm, one that would be breaking a few records. They were advising that people stayed home, and tried to stay in for most of the day until it cleared up. Little to no time actually spent outside because of the cool breeze and snow, making it below New York’s normal average for this time of year. Tilting her head, she continued to watch. They were calling for this snow to last a few days. Good thing she was already scheduled off of work. Xandra had been granted two weeks paid vacation at the end of this month due to all the hard work that she had put in. As for her part time job, she had already checked in with them and everything on their end was covered unless something major happened. Sighing, she continued to watch the news for a little while-- her mind working on what she should go and get herself into today. With no work, no need to run to the store for last minute items, she was good to go with whatever came to her mind for the day. Picking up her hot tea up off of her coffee table, she brought it to her lips and drank the contents of the cup slowly. The heat of the hot tea starting to warm up her body and sooth her slightly nauseated stomach.

After finishing her hot tea, she stood up from her comfortable place on the couch. The blanket she had wrapped around her falling to the ground as she walked towards the kitchen in order to start her breakfast. She couldn’t skip out on the most important meal of the day, now could she? As she moved towards the kitchen she had gained the attention of her dog, Rocko who had been asleep on the other side of the couch. He rushed into the kitchen his tail wagging as he ran circles around her feet. “Yes, Rocko I am getting your breakfast too.” she told him as she walked over to the cupboard and grabbed out one of his wet cans of dog food and opened it up quickly before placing it in his bowl. He excitedly went to the food bowl, tail wagging as he sat down and started to eat his breakfast. Xandra patted him on the head, a soft laugh coming from her lips as she turned to go to the fridge and gather the rest of the things that she needed to get her own breakfast ready. The blonde had decided on french toast, strawberries and a banana for her breakfast. Once she had all the items that she would need to get the breakfast ready she went and grabbed her bright red apron and started to cook.

Nearly forty-five minutes later and a major mess later Xandra had finished making her breakfast. She had gotten a little messy when she had attempted to put some powdered sugar on top of her french toast. The entire bag had exploded open and spilled all over her counter, the floor and herself. Poor little Rocko even got hit with the powder. The dog jumped and started to run around barking at the white sugar now everywhere in her kitchen. Xandra busted out into a fit of laughter at the actions of her dog who ran around like a crazy person. Brushing the powder from her face and apron she grabbed her plate and sat down. She could clean once she had ate her breakfast. While she ate her breakfast she figured that she would put her snowsuit to good use. She had gotten it one year when she had went to Alaska for a vacation. It had been a blast and she had missed all the snow. It excited her that New York was finally getting some snow, and even a few snow days. This was gonna be great. Finishing up the rest of her breakfast, the woman then got up and proceeded to clean her kitchen from the entire bag of powdered sugar that had practically exploded on her.

Cleaning up her kitchen, lucky hadn’t taken her too long. Xandra had managed to finish cleaning it up in under thirty minutes. Which she had thought would have been impossible. She had figured that it would have taken her most of the day to get her kitchen cleaned up from the white substance that had fallen all over the floor and counters. Taking off her apron, she tossed it into the hamper that she kept in the kitchen in one of her bottom cabinets for the dish towels and such before she would go and take a shower. Her game plan was to take a shower, blow dry her hair and then head outside once she was dressed for the cold weather. Xandra was hoping to get Cassie outside with Chris’s help. She knew that Cassie had been going stir crazy being on bed rest and she had been trying to do everything in her power to make it easier on the woman. If nothing else, Cassie could come outside and sit in a chair and play with some snow, right? That shouldn’t be too hard on her body and it wouldn’t be much effort for her body- that was surely wore out from the pregnancy. Watching Cassie throughout her pregnancy scared Xandra, because soon she would be right there too. Her once flat stomach was already starting to expand out a bit. Not a lot, but enough for her notice it.
