I slept well last night, only waking up twice during the night. When I last woke up, it was almost 6. I had been dreaming of working in some department at the University. I was putting on olive green knee socks during a meeting...and there were cream-filled donuts. Hmm...those days are gone forever. Cream-filled donuts don't even really sound that good to me now. What woke me up was a huge wracking cough. However, I have taken another pill and a cough drop and am fine now. There is a hint of light on the horizon and maybe it's going to be sunny today. It has been cold and rainy so long here, it is not much fun. TG for our wonderful wood stove and the hard work of my husband and father. We have been keeping it comfortable and pleasant inside, with no electric heat!

I only worked for a few hours yesterday. One thing that kept me longer than I expected was a delivery from Thornton Brothers. They donated cases of stuff--I guess they are cleaning out their old inventory. It would be nice if they called me and talked about it with me first. Half the stuff we can't use--commercial tubs of waterless hand-cleaning products to go in a dispenser (heavy as anything). Paper towels are always nice, even if they are the folded kind meant to go in a dispenser. The man unloaded it all and stacked it by the Christmas tree and then took a picture. Needless to say, I was not looking my finest.

We were home before lunch and then Captain and Vanessa were off to play bridge. Ray and I had five or more hours alone at home. I knit a little, baked apple bread, made Molli's bed...Ray tidied some. It rained, but we had a pleasant afternoon...and they came in third, so they did too. During drink and snack, they discussed hands with Ray. I went upstairs and read for a while. Watched a Netflix movie and went to bed before 10.
