Winter Wonderland Again!

Last night was not the most relaxing. Around midnight, the fire alarm in the hallway started going off. As it kept happening repeatedly, I went and knocked on a neighbor’s door and he shrugged, saying “I was just boiling water. The fire alarm here is very sensitive!” I thought, “alrightie, then!” I went back to bed and around two (a.m., mind you) I was awakened by some guy on the phone right outside my apartment. It seemed like it, anyway. Some of the things that I heard him say (it was a telephone conversation) were quite appalling! I crawled back to bed. I did fall asleep instantly, and of course, my alarm went off at six thirty. It was time for another day. I took a shower and applied putty to my hair as it has grown beyond control! I BADLY need a haircut! Alas, my hair grows while I watch!

So after getting all dandy, I headed out of the apartment. Oh wow, during the sleepless night, my neighborhood had transformed itself into a winter wonderland again. Everything was covered in white cotton candy. Some call it “snow,” I think. It was simply beautiful to look at. Unfortunately, though, I had to do more than simply look at it. I had to navigate through nature’s “slow down, buddy” mechanism. I crossed over to the other side of the road and waited for the bus. It was cold… well, freezing, really. The buses were late due to the weather conditions, and I stood there waiting, listening to my fingertips freezing. I just used hyperbole J

Oh, and here’s the good news! I managed to write 2000 words today as well. Well, 2020 to be exact. I’m following your advice to a T, Mr. King! I sincerely hope I can keep up with this. I will be such a prolific author, I swear! I went to see a therapist today at the Counseling Center. He was an extremely pleasant man, and I think, the hour was well spent. He recommended group therapy. I think it would be good to let out some of my fears, frustrations, etc. After the session with the therapist, I headed over to Stevenson where I drank coffee and chatted with my wonderful friends, Jan and Irene. I got to see a number of people who peeped in to say hello. Jan asked me if there’s anyone I don’t know!! Ha ha ha! That was a sweet comment; It makes me smile even as I type. Thank you, Jan!! And OH MY GOODNESS, it was only last night that Jan and I were chatting on Facebook and she mentioned that if Michael W. Smith ever comes to Peoria, we should go and see the concert! BINGO!!!! Today Jan tells me that HE’S COMING TO PEORIA NEXT MONTH!!! We are soooooooooooooooooooo going. Oh yeah! Yes yes yes! I’m almost peeing my pants out of excitement! Well, not quite J

It was a good day. Health keeps plummeting, but the day was still good. Oh, I just ate an apple. I thought it was a good way to end my blog tonight. I hope you have a blessed night, dear reader.
