Oh, What a Night!
Last evening, I was so tired, I went to bed far earlier than usual. I must have been asleep by nine! I can’t even remember when I went to bed, but by one o’clock, I was wide awake! I tried to convince myself that I needed to get back to sleep, but myself refused to listen!
I picked up my cell phone and began looking at blogs that I was unable to read while my laptop was down. I didn’t make comments, as I cannot comment on Blogger from my phone. That is one of those many little chores I need to check out. I went to Google and typed in William Wilberforce, and began reading all about his life in Wikipedia. I cannot think when a movie has impacted me so much as Amazing Grace has. Wilberforce lived such an amazing life….one that seems like it was, for the most part, well spent.
Time seemed, as it usually does in the middle of the night!, to pass so slowly. By four, I decided I *really* needed at least a couple more hours of sleep. There was no way I was going to function, staying awake most of the entire night! Finally, I drifted off to sleep…
I awakened shortly after seven to the sound of pellets splashing over the rooftop. Ah yes, the weather forecast was for rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow…..This is not the type of weather one looks forward to and I was certainly reluctant to climb out of my cozy warm bed. But, alas, two sets of Scottie eyes beckoned me to get up and go out into the cold, windy outdoors! Of course, as the tiny pellets pelted my face and piled atop my head, the Scottie boys decided to romp about, sniffing and wandering back and forth, much longer than usual!
Hopefully, and the weatherman said it *might not* happen, the temperatures will rise up a bit to above freezing so some of this ice will melt. Then, we are looking forward to some snow….only a couple of inches. This has been another ridiculous winter as far as weather is concerned! So, off I go to scrape some icy junk off the hot tub cover before it is ruined!

Jeepers, you could have called me at work, LOL! I had a fun night too; someone put the bread dough in the freezer instead of the cooler…ever try rolling frozen dough? NOT a pretty sight. I was equally frustrated when I left work and had to scrape my encrusted car…actually Jeff’s car, mine is in the shop…again! Anyway, the roads weren’t nearly as bad as everyone coming into work as I was leaving was saying they were. It took a little longer to get home than usual, but no scary moments or anything. I did stay off the expressways though.
With the weather so yucky, perhaps you can stay in today, cuddle up with one of your Scottie boys, and take a little snooze later. I am going to go take a little snooze now because I was up all night working! G’night!
Join the nightowl club! Some nights I get back to sleep and some nights I get up and work! I wouldn’t be able to read the screen on my cellphone let alone go looking things up. Stay warm!
Gads, Carly, looks like you had a rather miserable time at work! Why do they put up with this fellow, anyway? I decided to drive down our driveway to see what it was like. From there, I decided to try the road…..YIKES! Can you say icy sliding board? The plow went by numerous times, and by now, there must be LOTS of sandy salt on the road!!!
Dayna, if I would have gotten up, I never would have gone back to bed! hehehe I am one of those “once up, I am up for good” types. I had fun playing around and reading so I did make some good use of the time, I think!
