Another Nice Day
| It's currently 36°F outside, not as warm as yesterday, which was in the mid forties, but still pretty nice out. I started my pickup and drove it a bit, since it's been parked in the garage for a couple of weeks, and I started and took my wife's car for a drive as well. We parked it since it needs some work done, but I still like to run it and drive it when it's nice out. With the warmth comes thawing, and with the thawing comes water, which quickly turns to ice on the cold ground. Thankfully, the roads are good, but parking lots and driveways are all icy and slick. I drove into town earlier today to pick up some salt to use on the sidewalks and steps, and the parking lot looked fit for ice skating. Luckily, it was flat, or I don't think we would have been able to exit onto the road. I'm feeling better today, but still not completely over what-ever-the-hell got me yesterday. I had a pumpkin bar (my wife has started her Christmas baking) for breakfast, and that settled all right. For lunch, I had a bowl of chili, and that may have been a bit much on my stomach; it didn't settle well. I should be thinking about something for dinner, but I really don't feel like eating anything yet. I did get caught up in here tonight. I have the torpedo heater from storage back in the garage and ready for the next arctic blast of air; the weather app states negative fourteen degrees Farenhiet for tomorrow night. We don't need it for the vehicles; they have block heaters. If I want to do anything or I'm up to doing anything out there, however, I need some heat. Anyway, it's getting to be time to do something about dinner. If not for me, then for the Max and Bellah. Just because I don't feel like eating anything yet doesn't mean a Husky and an Australian Shepard aren't hungry. ACtually, I don't think there's a time when they aren't. |

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?"
"Writing is my passion."
