An enjoyable day off...

I decided yesterday that I would take off from work today.  Good decision on my part.  I woke up at 3AM and couldn't fall back asleep.  Sleeping late made me feel better even though Scottie was relentless in trying to get me up for breakfast.  J finally went down and gave them food.  It did the trick.  We were all back sleeping before I knew it.  It felt so good to get that extra sleep.  The weather here has been awful this week.  Warm weather and thunderstorms earlier in the week, then frigid temperatures and wind the rest of the week.  I almost couldn't get into my car yesterday because it was frozen shut.  In fact J got into the car but the lock froze in the open position and he couldn't make his appointment.  Oh well.  That's Chicago for you. 

Positive attitudes...

I've started to notice a trend.  I write when I'm down and depressed.  I'm not down and depressed ALL the time.  Sometimes I am but not all the time.  Today was a good day.  The weather here in the midwest has been unusual.  Last night we had a freezing rain and thunderstorms.  J even salted the walkway but it didn't really matter.  By the morning it was in the 40's so no more ice.  Tomorrow we are going into the high 50's to 60's.  Crazy right?  Then we are back to reality.  Temps go down, down and down.  Single digits by end of day Thursday into Friday.  The joys of living in the northern midwest.  Anyway, I think the nice temps put me in a good mood today.  Let's hope my mood stays good unlike tempermental mother nature.
