The Amish Flu

As I napped yesterday, I woke to a fresh layer of snow on the trees.  SNOW covering everything.  SO PRETTY.  Freshens the scenery.  Made me think it was CHRISTMAS.  I didn't sleep at all the night before.  

I was so tired getting back from a quick trip to TOPEKA for my 6 month follow-up for Thyroid health.  All checked out fine.  My numbers are once again where they are supposed to be.

The Thyroid Nurse told me a joke after asking if I had my Flu Shot.  See if you get the punch line.  He asked me if I had my Flu Shot and then proceeded to ask if I had heard about the AMISH FLU?  I asked if this was a JOKE?  He said at first you go HORSE and then begin to go BUGGY.  I told him that was CUTE.  haha.  Now I can say, I have heard about the AMISH FLU.  

   

As I drove HOME, 

I didn't see any AMISH while I was out amongst 

the ENGLISH.

I deliberately didn't go shopping, but came back to my HAVEN away from slick roads and ice.  Little pellets of round snow spit were just starting to fly.  SPIT BALLS.  Micro snow balls to throw. 

I knew I could take an afternoon nap on our sofa and catch up on sleep.  Took the phone off the hook.  It has been a very long time since I took an afternoon nap on the sofa, I about cried.  Napping all cozy with a throw over me, I woke just before Hubby was to get home from work.  Evening was nice.  I had no trouble sleeping last night and woke early for me for coffee and blog.  Back on schedule. 

It's the middle of the week ALREADY.  Now we have our CHRISTMAS snow.  LOVE IT.  WINTER WHITE.
Last week, we had a few days like early SPRING.  Today, grey skies and cold.  Bundle up.

After the Christmas decorations are gone....kind of have withdrawal by looking at the bland blahs.  WINTER WHITE is so beautiful that IT does help lift my spirits.  Cold weather 'n all.  

I need to go pick up the mail and a weekly local newspaper.  My Wednesday Ritual for an old woman.  My weekly SOCIAL was going to the doctor's office all dressed so purdee.  Perfumed with lipstick.  grins.

S o m e h o w, I will make a day where I go to the Library AND the Museum on a regular basis.  LIKE clockwork.  Maybe go watch the Quilters make their yearly quilt that they auction off to raise funds for the museum.

Getting into the rhythm of things...There's a huge box upstairs filled to the brim with old papers that I need to sort through.  If I put some good music on, I will attempt to get started on this exciting task that isn't going AWAY anytime soon.  The glamour of it all.

Two of the main rooms I need to deep clean DUST/Vacuum are the Master Bedroom and the Family room.  Doing chores.  Dear God, please help me get excited about this and get this done.  In Jesus Name I pray, AMEN.

With ALL of the unrest in the world, I need to be THANKFUL that I am HOME.  Thankful that I have these chores to do.  I have a home that collects DUST and needs the  human touch.  A time to pray out loud while I am HOME alone.

I had a SENIOR MOMENT last week.  Will share.  I opened the clothes dryer and proceeded to load it with DRY DIRTY clothes.  Was thinking it was the washing machine.  It hit me as I was loading.  Duh....these clothes are DIRTY and this is the dryer.  I seem to be on auto pilot at times.  Unloaded the clothes and corrected the mistake by placing the DRY DIRTY clothing into the washing machine to get washed    
t h e n place them in the dryer. 

OKAY....now I know I have way too much stuff on my mind.  PERHAPS I do have the AMISH FLU.  Am buggy.  PLEASE Pass the oats.  Going horse/hoarse.  

Horses like oats, right?
