It is cold outside.
No, it is frozen outside, like Queen Elsa had a bad day, cold.
It will probably take 30 minutes to get into my car. Mainly because I will start it and come back inside and have more coffee. I let the defrost do its thing. No since in breaking a sweat in 20 degrees to scrape a window when the ice will melt all by itself.
Eventually
Besides, an extra cup of coffee is always nice.
We cleaned out the refrigerator yesterday, and put food out back for the barn cats and our visiting opossum. He was scarfing down mushrooms last night when I looked out. Some people find them ugly. I think they are cute as a bug. Especially when I think about them eating all the unwanted bugs in the yard. He has even taken food from Troy’s hand before. I think he knows we are friends. And friends lend a helping hand when they can.
My body does not want to go out in the cold. I dont like socks or coats. I know, weird.
But today I have to suck it up and wear both. Work calls and I have to adult whether I like it or not.
We all do things we don’t want to do. Of course they need to be done. My goal one day is to not have to do those things. Work on my own time. Have my own rules I can change at random and never use an alarm clock again.
I will have that extra cup of coffee, watch the sun come up from my porch, not my windshield, and wear pajamas all day if thats my wish.
Play secret Santa all year long, making people smile unexpectedly.
Read and write. Sip wine or screwdrivers in the middle of the day with a lunch of cake if I so desire.
Goals.
Its never too late in life to have them.
Always something to look forward to. I will achieve them. So if you want on my Santa list. You better behave!
Stay warm my friends. If you are fortunate to get to stay in, do so. Snuggle a loved one or fur baby. Enjoy the solitude or company.
Just enjoy.
Love big
Lorene
