Little Buddy

Well it has been some time since my little friend visited me but he is here again. I work at a preschool in the office as a family advocate. When the teacher has a problem with this little guy he comes to my room to sit on the floor and be bored. It is nap time and he prefers waking up the others rather than going to sleep. At first they were sending him home but I said that was probably his goal so I suggested he come down to my office and sit. So that is what he is doing. He now tells me that he is sleepy but I don’t see any evidence of that and he has already used that trick up.
The snow has begun to melt and we get a little sun now and then. I am looking forward to the end of March when I leave for Houston. My sister lives there and I haven’t seen her for 6 years. My two oldest grandgirls are going with me, they have spring break that week. It should be a hoot.
This has been a sad week at work we have had two people die. One of them was only 20 something. She was on dialysis but was always cheerful and active. It seems a shame to end life so soon, but then she may be in a better place.
Well it may be time for by buddy to nap he is lying down.

Cabin Fever

The weather has finally made me want spring really bad. I kind of wanted it before the cold came but I felt guilty wanting it because I thought it was warm already. Now I want it to warm up and I don’t feel a bit guilty. Hilda and Bernie are happier. (Our dogs) We have straw in their houses now and they seem quite content to sit there snuggled up and snoozing. I am getting really lonely for my grandgirls. We will have to have an overnite as soon as it warms up a bit.

The good thing about all this is that there is sun. Before it was cold it was gray a lot and rainy. We have many more sunny days now and even if it is below 0 at least it is sunny and bright. The other nice thing is that we were sent home from work Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. and didn’t have to return until Thursday a.m. Also we were paid for the time off. Now that was very nice. It gave me a glimpse into how retirement will be in the winter, unless we go south for a while.

My brother went south and likes to call me and rub it in on a weekly basis. He mentions things like he is in shorts and a tee shirt or it is going to 70 today. He said he felt trapped when the snow came because he couldn’t go home now until it melted. Poor baby!!

The forecast looks better for next week. Something about highs in the 30’s.
