HOW COLD WAS IT?

It was so cold this morning that I didn't want to get out of bed. The cat slept under the covers and although she climbed out earlier this morning she either layed on top of me or next to me--mostly wanting me to get up--and she kept me very warm along with the down covers. The good news is that the sun is shining brightly and my new garden room is surprisingly warm and pleasant. I had tea and toast there and a little read. I will probably return there when I finish this.

This was a good week. I felt surprisingly better and wanted to live again. I went to two movies in the same day and loved both--"Music and Lyrics" with that wonderful Hugh Grant and "Daddy's Little Girls" by one of my new favorite film makers, Tyler Perry. Both chick flicks but very entertaining none the less. "Music" had some great lines in it which is surprising for the genre and Grant and Barrymore actually do the singing in the movie and were very pleasant. The Perry film has one of his great messages (sermons) in it which I always love and think that the world needs. Valentine lunch and valentine dinner--it was a great week.

In case you wonder why my house is so cold, I do have a perfectly good 3 year old heating system along with my air conditioning. I learned that it costs twice as much to run the furnace as the air conditioner and since I love cold air I scrimp in the winter for cool in the summer. It works out perfectly fine and actually I require heat only occasionally from a well placed heater. I have never liked forced air heat--somehow it is never really warm to me--so I love sitting in front of the rays from a heater. I have an electric radiator heater in my bedroom which is perfectly safe if I need nightime heat. I guess my love of burrying myself in the warmth of "covers" as we always called them goes back to my childhood when if it were really really cold we would spread a heavy coat on top of all the covers for warmth. Now I don't even own a heavy coat.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I can't think of anyone who would read this who isn't experiencing cold this weekend so I hope you all find someone to snuggle with--even if it is the cat. Peace and blessings.
