Yes folks there's been a break in this inferno weather (inferno being the key word). It is a balmy -27 degrees and how pleasant it is not to have to worry that my butt will drop off at any given moment. (I do have it attached rather securely with extra chocolate and knitting needles these days!) I no longer feel like grimacing when I open the door for the animals to go out to do their business. I no longer yell and kick when the cat wants to go out and I open the door only to discover that between reaching for the door knob and actually getting it open the cat has disappeared into the depths of the house. It is amazing how they can change their bloody minds when they feel that bivering draft and hold it for another two to four hours. The water even came on of it's own accord today. No hair dryer antics in the depths of frozen hell (the crawl space for you new timers). No more opening the door to let the wolf/husky dog in with white whiskers and a nasty look her face as if I'm cruel. I even felt like taking out my swimsuit and trying it on at one point..... ok so maybe that's an exaggeration.... no woman of my age and stature would ever want to don one of those things....
So with the severe cold over (for now).... Hubby and I are heading off into FSJ for an appointment and a bit of shopping tomorrow. I am actually hoping to get the bulk of my shopping done for the upcoming holiday.... Even Christmas doesn't look so bad after the last few days! With Christmas in the near future, music is in the air all over the house. The church will be having their annual pageant which used to be for the Sunday School but has become an opportunity for all the families of the church to come together and perform something for fun and amusement of all who come. With that in mind my family is presenting "The Mummer's Song" and I will be singing in a duet with another fellow from the church several Christmas Carols. I have been warbling away all over the place as I practice for the event. I will be Granny in "The Mummer's Song" so that should be fun for sure. Then Christmas Eve service will be officiated by yours truly this year. I'm actually looking forward to it.... I think.
It is supposed to get warmer over the next few days and I for one am happy about that. The upcoming events that Hubby and I face are faced more cheerfully if we don't have to go out with enough clothes to make us look like the stay puff marsh mellow man! You may have noticed that anything in the line of spinning, weaving, knitting, or crafting has come to a complete halt. See, that's what I mean.... I've just got to get the house decorated and the parcels wrapped, and in the mail so that I can actually do the things that I like.
But you know what? In all the hub bub of my life I hope you are enjoying these days and finding every reason to smile.
