Sleep is a wonderful thing

When we shopped Friday, I bought a bottle of Nyquil all-night cough relief and some Mucinex, which I had been taking but had run out of; these cough-and-cold remedies are expensive!  I'm glad I have an envelope with money set aside for stuff like that, because our grocery budget couldn't have handled it.  I have slept well for two nights, and that alone makes me feel like a new woman.  Hopefully by tomorrow I'll be recovered enough to go with Cliff and the dog on a walk.  We shall see.   
I have a craving for Mexican food, and am trying to choose between taco soup and healthified chicken tortilla casserole.  Tough choice, but since I have the ground beef thawed, I'll probably do the soup.  
Cliff recently spent some of his tractor fund on a wood stove for his shop.  He and his nephew have been gathering wood for several days, and he has quite a pile now.  There's always been a heater in the shop, but it uses propane; that's so costly, he hesitated to use it as much as he would have liked to.  Now he's set, and believe me, I only see him at mealtime or in the evenings.  He'll no doubt spend some time inside today watching football.  When I went to bed last night he was watching yesterday's games, which I had saved on the DVR for him.  I'd be willing to bet he went to sleep before they were over; he'd been awake since 5:30 yesterday morning.  He'd been up for over an hour when he asked me, "When does it get daylight, anyhow?"  Poor guy.  
I really have nothing momentous to share, but since I didn't do an entry yesterday I figured I'd better check in.  Bitter cold is headed our way, and possibly three to five inches of snow.  I doubt we'll get that much, but we surely could use the moisture.   
I keep dreaming about the garden I'll have, come spring.  I'll plant peas and lettuce in February if there's a thaw.  
Come on, springtime!   


By the way, be on guard against cabin fever this time of year; I got this little gem from Wil, of The Daily Snooze.  Click HERE.
