Not A Total Loss

Weather-wise we had a repeat of yesterday—yucky.  Nevertheless, we bravely/stupidly (see that fine line between the two?) took ourselves out shopping.  We drove in the rain and Houston metro traffic, walked in, around, and out of several stores, and spent lots of money.  To reward ourselves we ate lunch at one of our favorite places—Firehouse Subs.  We mailed two boxes and had near fatal heart attacks at the price of shipping via US Mail.  We finally made it back home, but turned around and loaded up the laundry.  While I tended the machines, Duane went to the Adult Activity Center and played pool.  Back home we shut the blinds, cranked up the heat, and pretended that we were warm.  At least we were dry! 

Meanwhile outside the rain continued and the temperature dropped.  We are expecting a low in the low 30’s!  To cheer himself Duane watched tv and put off ordering Christmas gifts on Amazon.  I myself cuddled up with real hot cocoa with whipped cream and watched White Christmas.

Looking forward warmer drier weather come tomorrow!
