Gettin too cold for open windows
10/08/2008 07:09 a.m.

Even for me, a person who's normal temperature runs somewhere between 96.7 and 97.8. I've always prefered the cold more than any bed-parnter I've ever had. I adore the fresh air. If I could I'd keep the windows open until the chill of the night air gets to be around freezing, and 4 quilts won't keep me warm. Not even with a sleeping bag in the middle. And I'd just hunker in, covering my head and all.

We have volunteer pumpkins growing on our back porch, from last year, when the kids apparently carved their pumpkins and didn't totally pick up all the leftovers. I don't know if they'll be ready in time for halloween, though. They're so tiny just now.

Finally went to the community clinic today for this sinus infection, paid my $30 for the visit and $12.39 for the antibiotic. The doc who saw me said it was a good thing; the stuff in my nose wasn't just mucuous anymore - there was pus there too. Ew. No wonder it stunk. Two doses and I'm starting to feel better already.

I hate that I need it. I'd rather that my salt rinses and echinacea would make me better. I'd rather die than line the pockets of someone who really doesn't care if I live or how.

My daughter-in-law is 2cm dialated, and Atreyou will probably make his grand debut sometime today. I can't wait to go welcome him! Dear God, I'm gonna be a nanna today.

Somebody ought to tell these young folks the truth, that the older you get, the more you realize you know nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero.

Where's the groove, fellas? I know I left it here somewhere...


I am currently Feisty
I am listening to the chill in the air
