A lost day and a foot of snow....
I went to bed yesterday at 10:30 am with a major migraine headache. We had about an inch of snow on the ground and it was flurrying. Silly me, I figured we're into April, we can't get more than an inch or two of snow... right? Well... I managed to sleep most of the day and the night away (thanks to some wonderful meds that helped to kill the pain)Losing a full day... and wake up to a foot of this nasty, wet, white, cold stuff on the ground. I REFUSE to shovel !!! I will trudge thru it, my guests will trudge thru it. It WILL melt !!!
Yes, I know it's Spring in NH, we can expect anything. But, I'm expecting WARM !!!
I'm ready for my trip to TX ... sadly I don't see it happening this year, at least not this spring, maybe in the fall, we shall see.
On another note, I got a phone call from my Cousin Barry, Aunt Anne died Tuesday night. She had had a massive stroke and was paralized on one side and was being fed with a feeding tube and IV for fluids and meds .. I'm unsure if she was breathing on her own or not. My understanding is she died peacefully in her sleep. I'm waiting to hear from Barry as to when arrangements are being made for the funeral.
The last time I saw Aunt Anne was at Mom's burial service. Almost a year ago. I guess I'm feeling a bit negligent that I didn't get over to see her between then and now, but I'm feeling good that my last memories of her were of her smiling face and chipper attitude the last time I saw her and not of her failing health as I have heard it reported over the last several months.
It's one more from that generation gone. Aunt Ruth and Uncle Sid are the only ones left in that generation.
It's rough growing up and getting older. I want to put on my mis-matched socks and be a kid again... I don't wanna grow up.
