Cool, nearly going on to cold.

I was wondering why I wasn't getting to things.  Today, the high is reported to only be getting to the low 50's.  Okay, that will do it.  It is right around 69 in here, which would be fine if I were used to it.  Though that is just where the furnace thermometer is.  It is definitely just a bit chilly coming out of a hot summer.  I've turned the furnace on, hopefully just for today, or a few days, as a storm of some sort seems to be passing through.  I'll see if that won't help. 

Being stalled out by the cold, I am not sure what all I will get to yet today.  A load of dishes, at least, and some laundry will be done.  If I warm up, maybe a shower and a trip to town.  I've got plenty of my day left, and that will fit in just fine with stores being open.  An easy meal in town, then some stuff to put a good meal or three together here at home, meals that will last.  A big pot of chili would be very good too.  I'll check my stocks, may need tomatoes, I know I need crackers.  Definitely hungry and ready to work on that.  I just have to do some dishes and shopping.  What goes good with brisket?  Yeah, potatoes, sure, but what else?  Chili is pretty much a one pot meal, with crackers and milk, to my mind.  Corned beef, is also a one pot meal, with the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage all in there, and broth.  Well, and milk.  I tell you, milk has made my bones rather sturdy.  No spurs or other problems, that I can tell.  It does a body good.

The girls have been rather happy to have me back and on track.  I should have noticed it was cool just by their actions.  Cuddling, a lot.  I simply am not aware, even when doing better.  Then again, other than high heat or life threatening cold, I simply usually don't need to worry about cold at all.  Just... thinking this morning.  Hmm, at least a week didn't go by before I realized I was too chill.  There is that.  Later.
