Winter is giving us a hint of its cold weather. Today is day three of the cold, windy, partly cloudy taste of winter. Our low this morning was 40 degrees and the high, right now, is 55 degrees at 3:00 p.m. I do believe that is going to be as high as it gets, and that is more then the weatherman said it would be. I am not complaining. But, BURR in the morning. It will be close to, if not, freezing again.
The weekend was nice but very busy. Saturday we did the things around the house that needed to be done…the things that it takes two to do, or bigger projects that are still in progress. We did some grocery shopping in the afternoon, got the car washed and filled with gas. That is MY car. I hadn’t drove it in two weeks so it needed an outing.
Sunday we went to church and then to the play in the afternoon…”DIAL M FOR MURDER”. It was very good. WE enjoyed it a lot and are now eager for the next one in December, “CINDERELLA”. It is a small playhouse with local talent, and so far all the plays that we have seen have been good. After the play we came home and relaxed for the rest of the day.
Monday morning Tina had a procedure scheduled for 7:00 a.m., in Knoxville. That meant I had to go with her as she needed a chauffeur. I didn’t mind as I would have to drive the Tesla, and I was looking forward to that. So off we went in the chilly (freezing) morning air, still dark and there was traffic. She drove there, so that wasn’t bad. We were able to valet park and that was perfect. We were a bit early, but she had to check in and that took a bit of time. Once we were in the correct area and waiting room, she signed in there and then came and sat down with me. I chose a comfy chair by a end table with a lamp on it, as I planned on reading while I waited. It didn’t take long for them to call her back, so I started in on my book. I was very comfortable with my coffee from home and my book, ,”ROOTS OF WOOD AND STONE” by Amanda Wen. It is so good. I managed to read 6 chapters while she was captured by the doctors and nurses in the other part of the building. Time passed quickly and I was surprised when the lady said that she was awake and I could go back now. When she got dressed and was wheeled out to the car, we went to Cracker Barrell for breakfast as we were both hungry. She was also ready for a cup of coffee. After breakfast we looked around the store there and admired all the pretty things they had, then paid the bill and came home. We didn’t buy! So strange for us. I hope some of that stuff goes on sale after Christmas as there were a couple items that we both liked and would like to add to out Christmas stuff. Some that we have had for many years is wearing out and needs to go so we could replace and it would be O.K. By the time we got home it was doing all the stuff we didn’t get done in the morning and that needed to be done, then just sit and relax for a bit.
Yesterday, Tuesday, I did laundry and that was about it. Dinner was leftovers and clean up the kitchen. I went upstairs early as I was tired and hadn’t felt top notch all day.I think it had to do with one of the new meds the doctor gave me. I didn’t take it today and feel just fine, so will see how it goes tomorrow .
Today has been good. I have caught up with all the e-mails on the computer, know I haver stories to finish writing, answered a couple of notes, made stew for dinner tonight, got stuff ready for Crafts tonight, and that is it.
