I ventured out this morning only to discover that it was very cold, something that as my body has aged, has become uncomfortable. As I drove down to the end of my neighborhood, the roads were covered with a very thin layer of sleet or snow or a combination of both. I’m not sure why I felt the need to fill up my car today rather than doing it yesterday, but nevertheless, I did. I figure if we lose power, we can at least sit in the car to warm up if it becomes necessary.
As you know, while weather like we are experiencing today is not rare, it isn’t common either, especially in the Jackson area, but it certainly has an affect on all of us. In my case, I really need to get in my shop and finish some of the custom fountain pens I’m working on but just that short walk, across the grass that crackles as I take steps, seems almost impossible. As a result, I sit here in my chair, covered by a plaid blanket and browsing through Netflix. I would rather be napping but two cups of Death Wish coffee has made that impossible.
Lowry, who knew when we were writing these things that we would end up literally locked down in the ice?? I found thinking about those things Sunday helped me deal with the rest of the week. I hope you are still covered up with blankets and watching Netflix. It's a great way to make it through this week!
