let us be calm and wise

I always seem to be working long shifts that bracket the worst of the weather, so I bring extra tea and hope fervently that we'll have a quiet night of it (it doesn't usually work out that way). The result is that I tend to sleep away the remainder of the bad weather. But if I have the great pleasure of a day to myself at home, I make more tea, bake cookies, and find a book to read.
