brrrrrrrrrrr

It is cold.  Too cold to sleep without antihistamines or a refreshing adult beverage, neither of which are available here.  The furnace is doing its best, although Mother Nature is doing her best to defeat the poor little cold-defeater.  Only one of the heating vents sends up warm air.  It is right here, next to the desk, which is one of the reasons I am still up.  Even night owls like to be all toasty.

There has been one of those ticker tape things running along the bottom of the television screen whenever I have had it on yesterday and today.    It is sharing that just about everything that children and the elderly might conceivably attend this week.

Schools in five counties. After school programs.  Community programs and events.  All that stuff.

The expected high for tomorrow is minus-11F.  Woo.  Heat wave.

I went to work yesterday and cancelled my weekend with family because I still feel too ill to travel such a long way in the snowing and bitter cold.  I disappointed her again, but I get to say no and stay home if I need to.  None of us is going anywhere...big picture wise...so we can get together in a few weeks.

I have to get some sleep.  I will be darned if I am going to cycle into insomnia again.  Good is that I have lost some weight, slightly lower in the old tonnage during these past couple of weeks.  My intention is to hang on the this lovely and decreased appetite when I begin to feel better.  Oh, gosh, just tossed a yawn, so off to bed before it wears off.
