Tuesdays Thoughts

• I'm glad we're into another week.  Last one was a bit of a challenge for me.  But...The Husband did arrive home around 5:15 or so.  Many hours earlier than previously scheduled.  Much to the delight of my heart.  I hope to never forget seeing his face peek around the doorframe.   My world was right again.

love the tulips

• The kids arrived from out of town just for 2 nights and a day.  It was so good to see them.  Sad as always to see them go.

• Was asked if my voice sounded better because I hadn't been talking to anyone.  Nope, I said - every once in awhile I talk out loud just to see what my voice is sounding like.  Yep, been talking to myself.  Saturday afternoon I did the "hey, Siri" thing for a quick answer from my phone.  My voice was so unlike me that I couldn't even get Siri to respond.  Pretty funny when even a computer won't respond.

The antibiotics are gone.  I've discontinued taking the cough prescription.  I've made some progress returning to normal - whatever that is.  I'll be glad to feel healthy again.

Mine's the chocolate.

• Those are some special kind of tulips that I can never remember the name - species, maybe?  I love they way they look, and they are pretty reliable year after year with no attention.  But that picture was taken the other day.  The trail picture was about 6:45 a.m.  The second picture was about ten a.m.  I came home from my walk looking like a mobile snowman and that was after I'd brushed myself off multiple times.  My glasses were totally opaque with snow. The weather was predicted to be only 50% chance of precip when I left for my walk. It's a lot of 50%.  :^) 

• Was treated today to a little luxury.  Beyond Glaze does pretty wonderful doughnuts. They are all hand decorated with in-store made frosting.  And pricey.  But a yummy breakfast this morning!

And now the sun is trying to overcome the clouds.  It won't take long for our couple inches of snow to melt.  I'd much rather have this than the blowing dirt that was in the air for most of the day yesterday due to the wind.  It was kind scary to drive in, am a bit uncomfortable when the car feels less than solid.

And today I'm so grateful for a snug warm home.  I'm grateful for improvement in this bronchitis/possible walking pneumonia/ whatever it is I've had.  I hope it continues to improve. I'm grateful there are people who don't think I'm unpleasant.  I'm grateful for kindness - wherever, whenever, however it comes.  And most of all?  I'm so grateful The Husband is home.  I may not let him leave again.
