Got the Slows this Morning

Weather here has been much colder than usual for this part of Texas.  And it has lasted much longer too.  We usually get about 3 days of cold weather then it returns to normal.  Not this time.  We are entering our second week of below normal temps.  Below normal by as much as 25*.  Plus we have some strong winds along with it at times.  Today it's wet on top of that.  I really don't mind it after the Summer we had.  

The dogs hate it.  I have not walked them for a full week.  And if it doesn't dry up some they won't get their walk today either.  They are going a little stir crazy.  Every time I stand up they swarm me thinking it's time to walk.  I don't mind walking them in cold weather unless the wind is pretty sharp or it's wet.  It has been that way for a while now.  It never got above 39* yesterday which is unheard of without it being a deep into winter storm.

'K' is still down with her respiratory crud.  It kept us home from church.  Yesterday her throat started hurting again.  She's into 3 weeks of this.  Last night my throat started getting scratchy and other parts were acting like I was coming down with something.  This morning I seem to be OK except for some exception tiredness. It's amazing that I haven't caught it from her.  A lot of close friends have got this same bug too.  We are hoping this won't affect our Tgiving plans.  Son #1 and his family will be here.  Son #2 and his family have traveled to visit the in-laws in Arizona and my Mom refuses to get out even if I come get her.  So it will be a shorter than usual time too since Son #1 will have to head to the in-laws after us for an evening meal.

I slept much longer this morning by 2 hours.  Wish that was a regular thing.  I know I don't get enough sleep.  6-7 hours of fitful sleep is the usual with 5 being more common.  That's not good.  I have some serious lethargy today.

I hope all y'all have a great Thanksgiving this year.  

Happy Trails Too.
