Yes I agree, the temps in the 30s has been a giant relief. I have walked everyday, sometimes as much as a hour because I know that the frigid temps will eventually slow me down. Everyone is cheerful and waves or a brief hello ... are all welcome. I have stayed close to home, still cleaning out and organizing. Yes, I am tired of it, however it feels so good when I can cross one more thing off my list.
Time spent giving on Tuesday when donations were doubled and one even tripled also lifted my spirits.
The sky has also excited me, as the stars will come closer and closer and on the 21st they will look like a Christmas star, shedding a bright light of hope and peace.

Temperatures in the 30s is a giant relief? Are you kidding? 70’s maybe.
I ran some errands and then went on a walk, longer than usual, and I didn’t think I was ever going to get home. I thought my head was going to fall off. My neck, back, sides and legs were killing me. Once I start hurting like that it’s only a matter of time that I have to sit down or I will collapse. Well I didn’t get home in time and I did collapse in the street and the nicest lady offered to drive me home but I crawled to someone's lawn and rested which I did several more times. I took a bunch of Percocet when I got home but it took several hours to be somewhat comfortable. I drug a bunch of my Christmas junk in and I wanted to start putting up my tree and decorating but that won't happen until tomorrow. No walk tomorrow!!!!!
I walked very close to 5 miles today.
Take care & bundle up. Maybe you kids that live in that horrible cold weather should get some of those clothing that heat up with batteries.
You gals take it easy and don’t freeze,
Jake
