Hola darlings! It is so cold and windy here today! Winds are gusting up to 35 mph and the temperature is rapidly dropping (it was 17 F when I got up at 7 a.m., now 14 F at 11 a.m.), but at least it's not snowing any longer (more is coming tonight...). The sky is blue scattered with clouds and if it weren't for the windchill and drifted snow mounds, one could almost imagine this could be a spring sky, it's that lovely. We're expecting another one of those 45 below zero F days on Monday, and 30 below zero F on Tuesday, before it gets up to a balmy zero degrees F on Wednesday. Thankfully, I've been getting rides to and from the office, for it has been too cold to walk back and forth the distance I have to go to get to the bus stop and it's difficult to breathe for a healthy person in this kind of weather, let alone someone like me with pulmonary issues. I HATE being this dependent on others, but I am grateful to them too for, realistically, I could not get into work otherwise, and all of my "paid time off" would be blown soon because there appears to be no end in sight to this horrid winter season. Not to mention my boss would blow a gasket and I would probably lose my job, a disaster at age 62 with an absolute need for health insurance coverage (not to mention a mortgage that still needs to be paid off).
But, I'm not here to bitch and moan about my miserable life, because it's not miserable at all, actually. I am acutely aware of how much I have for which to be grateful and except for some health issues and missing Mr. Don, I am very happy with my life.
Today I'm going to bitch and moan, instead, about my downstairs powder room:
