Good morning to you! With a quick run through the g mail and the blogs in my sidebar I now come to my bit of blather!!! I don’t know how it is where you live but I’m really tired of this!
Burr!
Even if this shows about 8 degrees it was -zero degrees when I woke up this morning. In fact the needle has been stuck on that for the past few mornings making it really hard to imagine even sticking my nose out the door lot alone my whole self! I’m tired of my thumbs cracking because my gloves get wet. I hate pulling on heavy boots just to go fill the bird feeders or take Brandy out to do her thing. I dread sliding down the driveway and wondering if my truck will stop at the road or just continue on across into the woods.
Sunshine!
Yes the sun shines (like this morning) for a while so you open the blinds in hopes of catching a little heat. Then it goes goes behind the clouds and it cools off quickly in a large room with a 22 foot high ceiling. So you close the blinds and inch up the heat a degree or two. Then you spy sun again around the edge of the windows and run to raise the blinds again. It happens so many time in the day that you feel like a lighthouse blinking on and off.
It feels like your hands and feet are always cold and the comfort of snuggling under a comforter in bed seems the only answer. But you can’t keep house, feed the furries and the birds, make meals, and keep the laundry up from under a comforter. True moving around helps a little but you got to sit sometimes! I dread facing the next couple of months but health and finances don’t allow moving to Florida for a few of months a year. Besides I don’t look good in a swimsuit!
Well this is my words of wisdom for today (all bright and comforting–right?) At least the breathing is better and the headaches have subsided so I can smile a little!
I’ve got it! Your ANSWER IS: SNUGGLIES! (or whatever those weird things are called) – those zip-yourself-into-it thingies that cover your body but let your arms & feet stick out. You could wear one of those around the house and be warm, still able to ‘move about’ and do you things: laundry, pets, (assist Jay in his ‘things’), etc.
Stay warm – REALLY glad to hear you’re feeling a bit better. Was thinking of giving you a phone call but then thought: “If she’s having trouble breathing, she CERTAINLY won’t feel well enough to TALK! – DUH!” Anyway, know that you are in my thoughts and hoping you’ll be feeling a little better every day!!!
