Actually, the first day of spring was a week or so ago - and our temperatures are heating up. I think we are getting to about 88 today - or something like that. Which is a big contrast to what I'm hearing my family is getting - by waking up to 6 inches of snow this morning. I'm so grateful I live out here. I may grumble and complain about having to get up and go to work when it's in the 30's or if it's raining, but at least I don't have to deal with REALLY cold weather and snow! Not any more. I drove in the Blizzard of '76 so I know about driving in it!
Yeah, I've talked to four family members today already. Well, verbally talked to 3 of them and text'd with one of them. Couldn't get ahold of my big sister to check on her (someone needs to check on her!) so called my little sister who did manage to get ahold of her and then text'd me that she talked with her. So I called the older sister later and finally got a chance to chat for about two minutes - after a few "I'm fine", "nothing", etc - there isn't much to talk about. I had to call my little brother because today is his 66th birthday. When did he get so old? I need to get on facebook later and send a note to my niece as it is also her birthday. And, my big brother sent me a video of all the snow he woke up to this morning. I think that is the first time I've chatted in some form to each of my siblings all before noon!
I'm freezing in my corner this morning and am thinking about walking out the my van to get my sweater out of it. I've already had a cup of hot tea and coffee. I may have to get some more. Part of it may be that I am having to fast today cause I need to leave early and go get some labs drawn - and they prefer that you fast 8-12 hours before having that done. I scheduled my appointment for 4:30PM, but I'm leaving the office at 2PM. It's at least an hour's drive to get there - and I figure I can get done early and get home earlier. Both of my bosses are in meetings in another city today and tomorrow so won't see either of them until Wednesday.
Got a call last night my adopted aunt is in the hospital so want to go over there to see her. After chatting with my friend earlier - what they thought was a stroke may only be a UTI infection. In older people these can make them incoherent and delirious - which is what my friend had described her as being. Hopefully I will get a call soon from someone to find out - she may be home before I get off work!
Had a nice Easter. Church service was totally amazing. Then we rushed home and changed clothes, grabbed what I was to take to my daughter's and got there as she finished cutting the ham up. Lunch was yummy and then we just sat around the table and my daughter, granddaughter and I knitted while we chatted. Youngest son and family came by later to visit on their way home. It was a good day.
Hope your Easter was a good one too!
Blessings!
