Chilly This Morn’…
Yeah, it was downright freezing when I went downstairs this morning. The weatherbug told me it was 53 outside, and the thermo-meter in the living room said it was 60 !! One thing I really like about this house is how the downstairs stays so cool in the summer. One thing I hate about this house is how the downstairs is FREEZING in the winter. I mean in a real cold snap you can peg the thermostat and it’s in the middle fifties. And the frigid air coming up through the spaces in the hardwood floor is a big bonus.
In any case it’s been good sleeping weather lately. Just so much damn rain. Getting a little old now. The pool is full to overflowing out the skimmer. In fact the weather has been so crappy I’ve neglected it and it’s just a tad green. I’ll shock it today and get it back to crystal clear in a day or so.
The really major thing in my life these days (funny I didn’t open with it, just making sure you’re paying attention), is that Grace is in the hospital. Yup, my honey wasn’t feeling too good so she had to go in for a little bit. I miss her so much. I have a hard time falling asleep at night without her and it gets worse when I awake in the morning and she’s not next to me. Hopefully she gets out sometime this week, they’re adjusting her meds and just keeping an eye on her. I go see her every night and bring her a snack and a diet soda and we sit in the little kitchen or TV room and visit. I just feel kind of empty without her here at home.
Maybe I’m in shock still, but it hasn’t been hard for me to accept the situation. The person I love and want to spend my life with might get sick every couple years and have to go away. It’s hard but it doesn’t change the love we’ve nurtured, and I guess in some ways it makes it stronger.
OK, Sam came back home and Sarah came with im to visit so I’m gonna run out to the store and get a couple things. I’ll keep y’all posted.
Thanks,
Steve
