HOW GOOD IT IS…

…to be loved by YOU! Yes it is. Especially this last week.

Yes, methinks I’ve got the winter blues. And it is always this time of the year when retirement is the most appealing. Foul weather, short days, hyperactive students, etc., how I long to go and find sunshine and adult conversation somewhere. The wind is howling outside and the rain is hitting our home horizontally. During the night I wondered if we might need to board up the window. We had several power outages this weekend, one lasting almost eight hours. This kind of weather is not even for the birds, speaking of which, I feel for the little critters as I doubt that they can hang on to any branches with gust of over a hundred MPH.

I did love cuddling up by the fire and reading a book by candle light. I also loved cleaning out closets and our office with John that haven’t been attended to in months. And I loved cooking for my love. I am thinking that maybe when I retire I will enjoy spending more time in the kitchen again. When will that be? Today I vote for June of this year but I know that this will change as the weather improves. Realistically… another year or two!

The results of the colonoscopy I had last week: all clear on the western front. I’ll probably never, EVER have another one! Although the prep was not anywhere as bad as I’d heard and although the actual procedure I can’t even remember, the psychological trauma was enough for me to never be admitted to the hospital again. Yikes.

Sigh! the three-day weekend was so nice. now it’s Tuesday again. Another work day.
