Cold is an understatement!

As my Poppie used to say: “It is colder than a well digger’s a** in January!”

It was definitely that cold today! The temp was low, but not really THAT low — it was the cold rain and dampness that made the cold drill right down to the bone!!!! I just couldn’t get warm today anywhere I went! I woke up cold – then I had a doctor appt this morning, so I was out running around and in and out of the car all morning with the doctor, filling prescriptions, having some breakfast at the dairy bar – all during the heaviest rainy time. I had the car heater turned way up and blaring hot air at me, but I was so cold that I couldn’t get warm! Then, my office was cold when I got in to work, so no chance of warming up there! Then, I had to go out in the cold rain and walk to another building across the campus for a meeting and got chilled to the bone AGAIN! I wasn’t there long enough to stop shivering and had to walk back in the rain to my cold office!

Bottom line — I stayed cold all day long!!! Until I went to Renalds for dinner and had a cup of wonderful corn chowder — that really hit the spot and “warmed my innards” (and the rest of the dinner was great, too) – ha-ha! I hated to go get back in the car to come home! But — the house was warm when I got here and now I’m nice and toasty! I plan to put a nice pair of flannel jammies in the dryer to warm them up and snuggle down in the covers! Should help me recover from the chills quite nicely!
I sure hope tomorrow is less bone chilling — if it just isn’t as damp and rainy, that would help!
