Cold and A Heated Bed.

 What speaks of Winter?  A cold, rainy day, and this is exactly what we had yesterday.  Guess what? I loved every minute of it....even when I had to go to the grocery store for a few items.  I hopped out of my car and took off running (like a jack rabbit in a race) and I was only a teeny tiny wet as I entered the store.  



  This mornings temp!


I knew the cold weather would eventually get here.  How long will it stay?  I'm sure the Texas meteorologist do not even have a clue. By the end of the week the forecast calls for us being in the mid 60's.  

Anyways, I've been looking for an electric blanket.  I had to send our old one to the trash sometime back in the Spring.  Can we talk about electric blankets for a minute? Somewhere along the way, they've become harder to find. I don't know if they are being phased out but I do know they are difficult to find. 


I caved and bought one of the new heated mattress covers yesterday. And...Boy does this thing work. We climbed into a warm bed and by 11:15 last night, I had to turn it off.  We were a little too warm.   Winter is coming... I need to stay warm... and it seems that I have found the answer.  

Of course, we do sleep with a ceiling fan as well as a box fan.  It's the noise!!  I love the noise coming from the box fan.  Nothing like crawling into a warm comfy bed, with a buzzing fan running right beside you.

When I woke up this morning, I had an email from UT Southwestern Medical. (sent to me overnight)  The message was letting us know that Sam has a 7:15 appointment this morning for his first IV transfusion.  WELL. . . . This was the first message we had received of any kind about the appointment.  WE live 2 hours away from the cancer center, so obviously we are not going to make it.   Worrisome? Yes, but this too will work out.  



Our first Frost!! 

...as these chilly mornings roll in, I plan on hanging out here...around the house, listening to some Beautiful Christmas music and maybe doing a load of laundry...or 2. 
Winter may be nipping at our noses, but this is okay..it's God's plan and with a cup of kindness, a cup of laughter, and a nice warm cup of coffee or hot Cocoa...we can all make it a GREAT day!!

Love to you all..
