Snow!

I woke up this morning to snow falling and no Internet! These two events were not connected as I discovered when I unplugged all the connections and plugged them up again. I don’t know how connections becaome loose except, of course for entropy. Anyway, I replugged everything and rebooted my computer and Lo! here came the Internet.

For some reason this morning so far I am full of energy. Fred of course, attributes it to the fact that I am sleeping late these days and he may well be right. It was 10 am this morning when I got out of bed and got dressed. So far, I have washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, put together a gingerbread mix, taken it out of the oven and eaten the corner piece {called “cook’s perks”} and put together a bread recipe from scratch but done in the bread maker. I have decided that what *I* want to eat tonight is spagetti with meatballs and fresh bread and salad. This is very easy since we use the sauce in a jar and the last time I made meatballs from scratch, I froze half of them. There is already a salad made in the refrigerator since I did that last night.

Reading all your notes about Fred’s little fit of temper made me realize you are all probably correct and I am glad I said nothing. Of course, he is entitled to be a bit snappy while awaiting surgery and I think I only reacted the way I did because I, too, was feeling irritable! I should have gone home when he asked me if I wanted to. Anyway, I am glad that I said nothing. Mind you, if he makes a habit of snapping at me, I will comment. Stress or no stress, I don’t take that.

The 30 minute walk this morning was lovely. The temperature is 28 drgrees and by the time I got out, the snow had stopped falling and all I was getting was the occasional blob falling from the trees. I walked for 30 minutes and mostly on the roads because the sidewalks are not cleared as yet. I needed to dig out the orange safety-vest I bought last year. I saw another walker out on the road and he was wearing one which reminded me about mine. And, as I was telling Fred this morning, last year I had a horrible time trying to find a face-mask. I finally had to go online to a camping place and order one. Yesterday when I was in the mall, I saw a whole table full of them at J.C. Penney’s! Maybe I will make another trip over there and get one. Mine is dull boring black. The ones at Penney’s weren’t madly cheerful, but they did have some green ones.

Now, I have got to deal with some paperwork I should have dealt with a week ago. I HATE paperwork and I know it is going to be one of those things that get done in 15 minutes once I settle down to do it!

Until later…
