Sunday. 8:30 AM. Later than usual for a fire post. Everyone is still asleep. I'm on my second burning of wood. A day off after a challenging 6 days of mail delivery.
It's been either frigidly cold or snowing. Yesterday I had the Jeep in 4 wheel drive the whole day to make it down roads still unplowed or through snowbanks in front of mail boxes.
I haven't opened the curtains yet. I have petted 2 out of the 4 cats. The goal is to give them all atleast one pet today. Another goal is to hug my kids atleast once today and tell them I love them. As teenagers I don't think they think I'm crazy doing this. I know I would've at that age. But they're different.
Sophia was telling Annie the other day that when she falls asleep in a car it feels like she's waiting for her soul to catch up to her.
I feel that way on a day off. After 800 miles of mail delivery just being home and present is a fulfillment.
I am really thankful I have a place I can call home with all the memories and stories that come with it.
That's it for now. I am going to throw some more wood on the fire and sit back down in this recliner to watch it.
I hope you have a great day!
