Keeping Warm

We’re not—keeping warm, that is. There was about a 1/2 inch of snow yesterday. Of course, everything is closed today. The interstate roads seem to be dry and ice-free, but the secondary roads are a mess. I called to reschedule Mr. Fixit’s appointment today. I was surprised that the office was open. Most medical facilities were closed.

The temperatures are still low for this area. I haven’t been really warm in days. The only time I get warm is in bed, cocooned in several quilts and a blanket or two. It’s so cold, the heat pump is not pumping any heat. It feels as if the cold has seeped into the bone and has decided to stay for a while.

There is warmth on the horizon. The temps are predicted to be in the high 50’s in a couple of days. I never thought I’d say this, but I can hardly wait. For the first time in my life, the little bit of cold weather has been difficult for me.
