January 31

The steady falling snow muffles the noises of the outside world.
There is something about a world of hushed quiet white that speaks to my heart.
This morning it is cozy and overly warm in this house...
I wear a T-shirt, jeans and am barefoot even though it is the end of January.
My husband and I continue with our thermostat war.
He tells me that our heating bill is 30% higher then our neighbors.
Don't look at me, I tell him
Many a morning it is that I have found that thermostat cranked up to 74.
Seventy four!!!
I've asked him was he trying to cook me to death?
As soon as he leaves I crank that sucker back down to 66.
It takes me most of the day to quit perspiring.
Seems like the moment I cool off I can hear his truck rumbling back into the driveway.
dang

I've been watching this impeachment trial on TV.
It alternates between mind numbingly boring to nerve wracking.
I don't have high hopes for the outcome anymore.
The senate appears to be overrun with old poopy white people (mostly men)
Who, IMOP,  have lost touch with the regular people of this country.

I've a full day ahead of house cleaning, laundry and babysitting.
The grandkids are staying over for dinner and being picked up at 9:00 pm
We babysit the other two grandkids tomorrow night.
The weather is supposed to be sunny and 50 degrees on Sunday...woot!
We haven't seen the sun in over a week.
This old gal could use some extra Vitamin D!!

Musings on a New Year

I am here
I am well
I am happy

I've loosened my grasp on things I couldn't control anyway
I've removed human toxicity from around my personal space
I've not yet given up on Jesus but I did stop clawing at Him

I'm plump and sassy and a bit smart ass-y
I'm forever working on being graceful and grateful
I'm typing on a brand new laptop and I feel very old

I want to start blogging again but Instagram is way funner
I want to go camping with our grandkids in our new RV
I want Peace on Earth and rain for Australia

I pray for a deescalation of hate and anger in the world
I pray for a change this November
I pray for us all.

I miss you guys.

Love, Lolly
