Today I had a really good day. I felt fine and was awake most of the day. I confess that I still like my nap after lunch but it's turning out to be just an hour or so now. I'm not sure if this is a result of the increase in my hemoglobin levels or what but I'll take it!
I'm doing more now, too. I cleaned up my computer room but still need to clean up my desk. I just hate going through all the paperwork that I've accumulated. I still have phone numbers to program in my phone but I am getting there, slowly but surely. I haven't called Cee yet but that comes tomorrow. The Beast thinks he is coming down with a deep chest cold but I have a feeling it's actually something from his COPD that makes it feel worse than it will be.
It's been cold as hell here. Even having both my heaters (baseboard and little one on the desk) on at full blast is just keeping it a fairly decent sort of cool and not really warm. It's already 21 degrees outside with another 100% humidity but no real wind. We are under a winter advisory and they expect us to get some snow showers tomorrow when the arctic blast hits us. It will only be here until around noon (let us pray!).
Buttmunch called today with her new phone number and told me that Louisville got a foot of snow yesterday. She said she showed up at work without calling to see if she SHOULD come in and ended up scoring points with the general manager since only she and one other server showed up. But they didn't have much in the way of customers so it all worked out. When she had made enough in tips to get a cab home, she left whatever else came in for the other server and she rolled silverware until the corporate office told them to close up and go home.
She also told me her best friend had died a few days ago. She had dated him on and off for four years and was just devastated he was gone. She isn't sure if Mustachio even knows he's dead yet. She only found out by accident since he had said he was going into the hospital and would probably be out of touch for a bit. He had some serious health problems, partly due to heavy drinking but he was too young....only 56 years old. Buttmunch will greatly miss him. She used to stop by to make sure he had food in the house and was eating fairly well. She would often cook for him if he seemed unable to do that. She said one of the last things she told him was that she loved him and for that she was grateful. I've said it before....say it often to those you DO love. You just never know what life has in store.
I was hanging up clothes that I had set aside after they were washed and was surprised that I had the heavy clothes that I did that are now hanging in my closet. I have a feeling I will be glad I did get them out of my storage bin and washed. I may be needing them in the days upcoming.
I found all my doctors phone numbers (and the Beast's too) and can now call and set up some appointments with a couple of them. I also got a card for Chewlee from my friend, Carol, and I want to run it over there for her tomorrow, if possible. The schools here are delaying the start of their day until 10am tomorrow. It's expected to be THAT bad here.
I went to fill up my pill box for the week and realized that I need to order more pills. I hate when that happens. With the Beast not feeling well, it means I may have to drive out in snow. We shall see. I have enough pills for a couple days and our snow rarely stays on the ground longer than overnight or even two days at the most. So, if needs be, I can last until it's gone.
Well, it's late and I need to get some sleep. Love you all and I hope you are well, warm and dry. Be good. Be careful. Do NOT go outside if you have bad weather. Hypothermia sets in quickly and I do NOT want anyone to suffer. ***Hugs***
