YESTERDAY

Yesterday was harsh! It has been raining and cold for the past 3 days and humidity hovered around the 100% mark for the duration, causing every bone in my body to remind me about the many knocks they took with the contact sports I played in my youth. Ouch!

My poor Mommy, the oldest beast here, has some dementia, and she woke me at 3:30 AM, whining; I imagine she got down to get some water and couldn’t find her way back to her cozy spot. It didn’t help that Elie growls at her for the disturbance. By the time I had things settled, I was awake, and there is no use staying to toss and turn under the blankets. I got up, but paid for it the rest of the day by being tired and sore while attempting to smile nicely at the customers.

Before leaving in the morning I had loaded my slow cooker with beef and veggies. Sunday nights are a regular supper with my Little Flea and her daddy, and the meal would be ready when I got to the house just before they were scheduled to arrive. My son offered to call their visit off but no; I won’t let work interfere with my home life more than absolutely necessary! That happened too many times in the past, and I’ve vowed to myself that it wouldn’t do so in the future.

A hot Jacuzzi, a couple of cups of coffee, and the chatter over a good meal had desired results. After their departure. I managed to stay awake to watch a great hockey game, but begged off for the finals of the curling tournament, swallowed some Tylenol and crashed into bed with the beasts. We slept soundly until 4 AM. I’m up now, have started a fire, noted that the humidity is only 68% (I didn’t really have to read it – my bones had already told me), and will attempt another hour or two of snooze time before starting my shift at 10 AM.

Life is good, and that makes me SMILE.

Sharing that SMILE with you, as always.
