Chills
Slowly, tentatively, I’m adjusting to the warm(er) weather. Monday night, I peeled off the topmost quilt layer on my side of the bed. On the other half of the bed, My Darling B was sleeping with, I think, just a sheet, and laughing at me. She’s always been the warm one, and I’ve always been Read.

Heepah!
I think our dusty house may be trying to kill us. By the time we get to the end of the winter season, when the windows have been closed more or less continuously since October, our house has dust bunnies so numerous that the president takes them off the endangered species list. Granted, that’s mostly Read.

frigid
Was I right about last week’s warm weather being a tease? Yes, I was! I got it so right when I said we’d all be freezing our nipples off this week! BOOyah! Why can’t I be right about something useful, like lottery numbers? Read.

Sunny Day
This was the first time in almost two weeks that I was able to take a long, leisurely stroll around the neighborhood on my lunch break. I took two lunchtime walks during the recent deep-freeze, but they were much less leisurely and more like trotting than strolling or walking. I was torqued so tightly with Read.

Attack of THE SNOWNAMI!
Here’s the obligatory snapshot of me and T-Dawg shoveling about a foot and a half of snow off the driveway. I can’t tell how much snow actually fell – probably only six or eight inches – but the driving wind heaped up drifts at least a foot and a half high of snow like cake Read.

Prezzies!
We opened presents last night because I couldn’t wait any longer. The kids aren’t as jazzed about Christmas as they were when they were wee little bugs, but I was so excited about seeing My Darling B open the prezzie I got for her that I knew I’d pee my pants if I had to Read.

Two
The degrees are two. Those are the degrees. There are so few degrees that it wouldn’t make much difference if there were any fewer, except that I would have to change to the singular verb if there were one degree all by itself. I’m not sure what to use with zero. I think at that Read.

Bloodshot
After a scalding hot shower and a hot cuppa java, I think I may once again return to the class of warm-blooded creatures. Last night was about five million years long and it was all because the cat in the middle of the bed kept hogging the covers, keeping me awake most of the night. Read.

Snowfall
The snow came, just like they said it would, but it didn’t stop us from going to the farmer’s market just the same as we do almost every Saturday. It came close to stopping us, if only because My Darling B didn’t have any boots to wear, just her regular street shoes, but since the Read.

First Snow
Woke up this morning to see the first snow that fell overnight and stuck. It made My Darling B cry a little tear. So now it’s really winter. I know that the solstice is supposed to be really winter, but everybody knows it’s the first snow. Solstice is when the days start getting longer and Read.
