Tuesday

It was cold again when I woke up on Tuesday (24 degrees). The clouds had gone, leaving the last of the warmer air to rise and disappear. But, it did give me a spectacular view of the full moon out my bathroom window.

Speaking of being cold, I am trying to figure out why (and what the hell I am going to do when it really gets cold in Michigan – typically January and February). I don’t know if it was from losing all that weight last year, being ill or having my surgery, but for some reason I am always chilled.

The sun was out, so it did help in my morning walk, although this was supposed to be the coldest day for the next seven.

I went home at lunchtime and, for a change, didn’t stop at Home Depot! No, I went straight home, fixed myself a thick turkey sandwich, paired it with a pickle and ate lunch watching a taped DIY show.

Back at work, the afternoon was extremely frustrating. I don’t want to go into it and I’m sure it will pass (maybe). I did take the time to write out the paragraph of my mother’s influence that my grandson, Carl V, requested for a school project. It was hard! Just try and encompass all that your mother influenced you into one paragraph. I could write a book. But I did what I could.

Finally, it was 5:00 PM! When I got home, I treated the cats and changed clothes. I worked on the computer, paying some bills, transferring funds and updating my Christmas Card list. For the first time in a long time, I didn’t get the cards ready over the Thanksgiving holiday. But now that the car is okay and the new vanity working, I have to get this stuff caught up!

I realized that I was two voicemails behind talking with my daughter Melissa, so I called her up. I had waited for a while to let her get dinner out of the way. We chatted for a while and caught each other up.

Then I fixed my dinner by warming up a plate of meatballs and spaghetti. It was still excellent!

I watched taped DIY shows (all the new episodes of shows I like are played on Monday night for some odd reason) until bedtime.
