Ninja Monkey vs Snow Day

So I am stuck at home alone today due to some ice and snow. By some I mean about an inch of ice and many inches of snow. I have also been pretty sick for a couple weeks. What is a bored and sick girl to do? I was inspired by some of my friends to start a blog. So here it is... My first blog. I know you are excited.

I am not really sure how this all works, so for now I say hi! I am Ninja Monkey I fight many battles, and I will keep you posted on my various opponents and the outcomes good or bad.

Today's opponent: The dreaded Snow Day. I remember the good old days when Ninja Monkey loved spending time with Snow Day. Missing school, sled riding, playing all day, drinking hot cocoa, then playing some more. Sadly, both Ninja Monkey and Snow Day have grown up. Snow Day is now just another challenger for Ninja Monkey to face in life's battle.

Round One


Snow Day starts out a little slow by creating just enough sound to be annoying but not quite enough to prevent Ninja Monkey from sleeping. Ninja Monkey looks like she will be well rested and ready for the day. Oh no! Snow Day has made an impressive combo strike. Ninja Monkey's phone rings at 6am. Her CT scan has been canceled. This is a devastating blow for Ninja Monkey, she was depending on the CT scan to help with another fight. The fight against her sinuses. The cancellation of the first appointment led to the cancellation of her follow up visit and now the sinus fight will continue for at least another week. Ninja Monkey tries to get back to sleep but is unsuccessful. Ninja Monkey begins to get ready for work leaving her warm bed and cinnamon scented room and is definitely showing signs of fatigue. Snow Day strikes again! As soon and Ninja Monkey is ready for work, she receives a call saying the office is closed. Round One ends with Ninja Monkey looking pretty tired. She heads back to her corner and her crew tries to get her back into some warm PJs.

Round Two


Snow Day comes out strong in the second round. He is taking away Ninja Monkey's ability to get any work done while at home today. The usual means of working remotely have been blocked by a server error that can only be fixed on site. That was a nice move by Snow Day. Ninja Monkey makes a feeble attempt to try to work on a different system to try to get some other work done and BAM! Snow Day knocks that system offline too! Ninja Monkey uses all of her skill and creativity to make some progress, but Snow Day has knocked her down to the canvas. She is down for 1...2...and she is back on her feet as Round Two closes. Ninja Monkey's coaches set her up with a knit hat and a space heater, they are even pulling out some sugar free hot cocoa. Ninja Monkey looks like she is feeling a little better and is back on her feet and heading back out to fight.

Round Three


Ninja Monkey takes a critical hit! Snow Day throws a wild punch from which Ninja Monkey may not recover. Ninja Monkey is stuck alone in her house at least a day. Everyone Ninja Monkey knows is stuck in various places around the city and none of them can come help her in her battle. Ninja Monkey looks above her head and sees some creepy red letters floating there that read Finish Her... Uh oh, Ninja Monkey is about to be hit with Snow Day's signature Freeze Out finishing move. The Freeze Out is pretty cool to watch, Snow Day takes a bunch of snow flakes and turns them into an ice shuriken which is thrown at the opponent and freezes them from the inside out. Oh no Snow Day has turned Ninja Monkey into a solid block of ice. Fight over, Snow Day has won his victory.

Ninja Monkey stands there encased in ice watching the continue timer counting down and decides to save the rematch for another day.
