It was just miserable today but quite a bit warmer than expected. We actually got up to 62 degrees but it was overcast and rainy. They say we may have some bad thunderstorms later tonight but it sure doesn't look like it.....yet.
Chewlee was cute today although a bit bummed out because the Beast either forgot to set his alarm or else he slept through it. That meant they didn't go to church. One of his church buddies came by the house afterward because he was concerned. He was glad it was something as simple as it was.
She let me take my nap as she sat in my desk chair and watched TV. She ate there (of course) but she was actually pretty neat. She didn't get much on the floor this time....LOL! It was just two pieces of the tortilla chips she was eating along with some salsa. No, no salsa got on the floor. Just the two pieces of chips. I think when they fell, she had intentions of picking them up afterward but forgot.
I made my homemade chicken pot pie and it turned out sooooo good. Chewlee was going to try it until she saw it was full of vegetables. There was plenty of sauce but I should have used more corn starch in the sauce, I think. The Beast (who tried all day long to talk to me) said I almost had the crust down perfect. I did say something...I said, *I think it was just perfect!* and left him with his mouth halfway open to say something but he stopped.
He kept coming into my computer room and trying to talk to me but I didn't even turn to look at him. I think he knew for sure how I felt but it didn't stop him. He's totally clueless about what he MIGHT do to make me at least talk to him. It's just not in his personality makeup. Unfortunately, later in the evening...after Chewlee had gone home...I was forced to talk to him to find out if he had a spare keyboard stashed anywhere since mine seemed to have stopped working. I wasn't sure if it was my keyboard or something in my computer.
It was something in my computer because we actually tried four different keyboards and none of them would work. So I did a complete scan and then ran my Intel Toolbox (I have a special hard drive...solid state). When I plugged in the keyboard that the Beast had gone outside to the cottage to get, it worked. When he saw I was using it, I wish you could have seen his face. It was like...*I didn't mean for you to KEEP it!* But he stopped himself from saying anything. Twit that *I* am, I got my original keyboard, plugged IT in and then returned his keyboard to him with a *Here's your keyboard. I saw the look on your face so I knew it meant something very special to you so I couldn't keep it!* I turned away, walked into my room and closed the door.
A bit later, he came in and said, *I really just couldn't believe you would WANT to keep using it since it doesn't look like it's really any good.* So I just said to him, *Beast...it's a very nice Microsoft keyboard. Keep it.* He left. Took him a while to decide what he was going to say to try to make me think it WASN'T important to him. I know what it was. It was HIS. Period.
Anyway, I am not as hurt as I was yesterday since, like I said, it was something I already knew. It was just awful when and HOW he decided to say it out loud. I'm sure Chewlee is very confused. I just hope that she eventually stops thinking about it or asking questions. She once asked me, *Do you love him, Grandma?* I told her that we had been married many, many years and had lots of kids together so what did she think? She just thought about it for a minute and nodded her head and kept dressing her doll. That was the end of that.
It's actually 70 degrees right now. *Shock!* It's warmer now than it was at 2pm. I guess that must mean we have some kind of warm front moving in. I'll have to watch the Weather Channel for an update on what THAT means!
Love you all. Hope you have a good week ahead of you. Drive safely and keep warm and dry. **Wink**
