Cold Morning

There was no way I wanted to get out of bed this morning.  The north wind had the chimes on my northwest corner of the house a clanging away.  It sounded cold.  Sure nough, I got up at seven and it was cold out.

Today was the long awaited pedicure and hair cut day.  I knew I had to motor through the several hours to get my day started.  I do have my routines.  Dennis was out of bed, but napping in his recliner.  I rousted him at 8:20.  With coffee cup filled and his breakfast box under is arm, he got his routine going.

There had been enough of either a rain or snow to leave the ground covered.  By the tracks that Dennis made going to the garage, it looked like slish.

Maria was finishing up one client when we got to her shop.  She looked up and came to her counter where here date book was.  Maria rolled her eyes.  When that client left, she got the tanks ready for our pedicure soaking to begin.  She shared that she has two sets of books for appointments as she in Windom Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the remaining of the six days in St. James.  She had double booked today, Saturday.  She had made an error with her two sets of books.

Maria didn’t let her error show.  A real trooper.  As we finished up with our haircuts, those waiting didn’t seem to mind.  When she wrote out our next appointment, it was for an April date.  A clear window that this year was indeed on a roll.

This afternoon I am taking it slow.  As yesterday rolled along, I damp mopped the dining-living room area, taking my time with the moving of the furniture to let one area dry before the next area.  No carpet and gliders under the furniture helped.  I was weary when all furniture was back where it needed to be, but with a great feeling as well.  Could this be the beginning of spring cleaning?  I think I will put a damper on that thought. 

The sun has cleared what had fallen during the night time hours.  A bright afternoon compared to this morning.  This up and down winter continues.  And sure nough the day has continued and a plan needs to be put in place for supper.

With that I will take my leave.  ♥
