It's been a blah few days here. The weather has been up and down, really cold, then mild with rain and now back to snow. The melting snow and rain caused thick ice on surfaces and then the snow covered everything up again. I only went over to Asylum Lake for a walk today and even that didn't last long as the wind was blowing, and it was bitterly cold. When I was home time went pretty quickly, and I didn't seem to get much done. I was planning on dragging all the gifts out that I've got so far and wrapping tomorrow as husband and son were going out but they cancelled as husband has come down with (hopefully just a) cold. Now I'm not sure when I'm going to get things done! We still aren't sure what we're doing yet. Nobody really seems in the mood so it will be a bit low key I think. As I said before, new traditions will have to be made next year.
We haven't even put up a tree yet. I want to get the small one up and decorate it with MIL ornaments. A mini tribute to her. It still seems so strange without her. I sometimes think that we expect parents will be around forever and they are invincible, whatever their age, so it's such a shock when they are gone. I suppose I'm feeling a little lost with both her and Mum gone. I know it will just take time.
Wow, this post is a little sadder than I was planning!
Things that make me smile
* Sister reminded me today that it is just two weeks until we see Baby A again. It will be her second birthday! How time flies!
* Having a nice warm house to shelter in when the weather is so cold outside.
* Having lots of cup-a-soup that I brought back from England with me, perfect on a cold day
* Being out in nature even if it is really cold!
