Gratitude & DWDIDIA
I'm grateful for a warm home, warm blankets, mostly dry streets, wool socks, and of course a happy healthy family.
I didn't get around to writing yesterday's Didn'tWannaDoIt because it happened pretty late at night. I was all snuggled in bed, warm under the comforter, enjoying some before bedtime conversation w/ Hillel when I had the thought that Starbeak (our parakeet) might be especially cold this night, since we lowered the thermostat to 66, and her cage is right next to a window. The very last thing I wanted to do was leave my bed. I was warm. I was nodding off. It was late. But I got out of bed to search out a space heater, and when I didn't find one that worked, I layered blankets over the window side of her cage. I can't say I felt really good about it - mostly I was just tired, cranky, and wanted to get back to bed, but now, a day later, I'm glad I did the right thing.
