Brrrrrrrr!

I don’t recall hearing the bus go by but it’s so late that it almost has to have. Already two of the Star Wars mittens my mother made for the boys are missing; one of Cedric’s and one of Joseph’s. Joseph is wearing Seth’s today and I’m not sure what Seth is wearing. It is cold out. According to weather.com, it’s 9° and feels like 1°. Which explains why it is so cool in the house. Not freezing, but definitely cold enough to want long sleeves on.

My mother and Paul were both still abed but one or another of them just got up. It must have been my mother because she’s now down the stairs. Laura is still in bed. Joanna just got done taking hay out to the goats. I need to take a shower because I never got one yesterday. I got a phone call when I should have before we left to take Joanna to work and the missionaries to Chinese and Paul was in the shower then anyway so there might not have been time in the first place. That kind of set me off in a bad mood which wasn’t helped when Paul suggested that he take the missionaries. It isn’t that I particularly wanted to go, it’s just that I would have liked a shower and it isn’t entirely my fault that I didn’t have time for one (I had been waiting for clothes to finish washing and drying and ended up wearing slightly damp jeans which was less than pleasant).

The other day when I was out shoveling in the goat’s pen, my left little finger came in contact with Snowflakes teeth (because they’re too darn curious about everything [I think they have cats beat hooves down] and have to have their noses RIGHT there). That must have been Saturday because it wasn’t Sunday and it wasn’t Monday. Today, it hurts and is red and I squeezed some pussy-looking ooze out of it. I think it needs some peroxide.

On the agenda for today is. . . . I don’t know. Most likely a little laundry. There is a load that needs to be folded in a basket and one that needs to be folded in the dryer and one in the washer that needs to be dried. That would add some warmth to the air in here which would be nice. Pretty exciting. Joanna has work at 10:45. Paul stayed home which is nice because he can relax and hopefully heal. I’m not sure if he plans on getting anything done but he is still asleep.

I think that I will go for now and maybe take a shower.

AD—HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you have a wonderful day.

Grandma—all of your children are now in their 60’s. That’s amazing.

Everyone—have a splendiferous day!
