Survival Mode: How a Storm Turned Us Into Professional Nappers (and Productivity Ninjas)
There is something deeply humbling about a storm. One minute you’re a high-functioning adult with a 12-step morning routine, and the next, Mother Nature flips a switch and you’re suddenly a shut-in negotiating with your sourdough starter for emotional support.
This past week, the "Great Indoor-ing" officially began. While the wind was out there doing its best impression of a freight train, we were inside discovering exactly how many layers of fleece it takes to become a human burrito.
The To-Do List vs. The Reality
We started with such high ambitions. "Since we're stuck inside," we said, "we’ll finally organize the junk drawer! We'll color-code the pantry! We'll write the Great American Novel!"
Here is what actually happened:
• Hour 2: Organized the spice rack. Felt like a god.
• Hour 4: Stared at a single dust bunny for twenty minutes, pondering its origin story.
• Hour 6: Realized the "junk drawer" is actually a historical archive of 2012 tech support and decided it should remain undisturbed for future archeologists.
The Olympic Sport of Rest
Let’s talk about the naps. These weren’t just "close your eyes for a second" naps. These were deep, existential, "what year is it?" naps. We leaned into the rest because, honestly, the sound of rain turning into ice is basically nature’s white noise machine. Between the snacks and the slumber, we managed to actually recharge.
And that’s the thing—sometimes you need a storm to force you to sit still. It turns out that when you stop running, you actually find the energy to create something cool.
From Stormy Days to Galentine’s Rays
While we were hunkered down, the team at Onic Brands wasn't just catching Z’s. We were plotting, planning, and getting everything ready for our favorite time of year. We’ve used this "forced downtime" to make sure our upcoming event is absolutely legendary.
If the storm gave you cabin fever, we have the perfect cure. It’s time to trade the sweatpants for something that doesn't have a soup stain on it and come hang out with us!
Save the Date: 2nd Annual Galentine’s Event
When: February 12th
