Who’d A Thunk It??

Not me, that’s for sure. You are probably asking yourself, WTF is she talking about now? Relax, my Chaos Gremlins, I’m getting there. Sheesh, impatient much? LOL!!

So, this morning when I woke up, my room was cold, no, it was actually freezing! And the first thing I did was turn off the window unit AC. Yes, it WAS that cold. For those of you who know me and to those who don’t, I HAVE to have my bedroom cold at night or I can’t sleep. I cannot stand to be sticky or sweaty, and it’s got to be cool enough that I can still snuggle down in my blankets. It’s OK if you can’t. It’s a Vickie thing.

Then I let Lily outside to do her business, which she completed rather quickly this morning, and went on to brew my coffee (or as my lil sis Rachel calls it “the magic bean potion”). After I set the coffee maker with the right amount of Starbuck’s Verona blend to brew, I went about completing the various minor chores I do every morning. Once those were finished, I let Lily back inside, poured the magic bean potion into my insulated cup, added cinnamon creamer and took that first glorious sip of this magic elixir.

And then promptly put on my snuggly zip-up hoodie, added a pair of fingerless gloves, and PROMPTLY jumped right back into my bed UNDER the blankets!

Anyway, the fall temps here in SE Texas have finally arrived with a vengeance. What was supposed to be a slightly gradual drift into cooler weather has turned into something akin to a freight train barreling on down the line to the next destination. It’s only supposed to get up to 59* (yeah, I can’t remember how to create the degree symbol. Sue me) today, and the overnight low is supposed to be 33*. Tomorrow is only a little warmer with a high temperature of 70*.

Thankfully, the weekend is supposed to be sunny and warmer with the high on Saturday forecast to 81*. This makes me happy because my guy is flying in for the weekend from California and I really didn’t want his first trip to SE Texas to be rainy or too cold to do anything. I’m so excited for him to be here and meet my son and the two grands that live here with us!

I’ve already met both of his adult children and their families and I already love them all. So, I KNOW in my heart that this meeting is going to go just as well and my family is going to love him as much as I do. He is such a different person from my ex. And I will say it again and continue to say it. This man, my first love all those years ago, is STILL my only real love and true soulmate. And now we are going to be living our best lives, the lives we were cheated out of all those years ago. And honestly? I’m more excited about these new adventures than anything I have ever been before.

And because of the adventures we have planned and some are already booked, I am hoping like hell the government gets its shit together and ends this assinine shutdown they are putting all of us through. If one of our flights gets canceled, I’mma gonna be one pissed off Witch. Yeah, reality is there isn’t anything I can do about cancelled flights, but I can scream and shout and bitch and moan. Will that make things better? Fuck no! Will all that nonsense make ME feel better? For about 30 seconds or until I get through screaming. And then I’ll pull up my Witchy panties and figure out the next steps, just like I always do.

That’s all that’s coming outta the shit hole otherwise known as my brain for today my Darling Chaos Gremlins. So I’ll sign off with this, it’s kinda my new mantra: Don’t EVER give up on your hopes and dreams. Your brass ring is just around the next bend. And YES! You DO deserve happiness, peace and oh so much love!
