Cold!!
There is definitely one thing in this world that I loathe at my age. I was just wondering if I am the only one who can't stand the cold??? Not only are my hands, feet, nose, and every other body part exposed to the elements, freezing, but my old bones are shaking, as well!! Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night and could not, for the love of chocolate, go back to sleep, because I was shivering so bad. No matter how much I tried to scoot up close to hubby, and even with the covers wrapped tight up around my head so that only a tiny air pocket kept me from suffocating, I still could not get warm. So of course, there I lay, thinking, you idiot, get up and turn up the heat, (hubby likes to keep it at a cool 66 degrees at night!!!), but I was dreading getting out of bed to walk across the house to turn up the thermostat!!! Needless to say, I spent several hours in my bed shivering and wrapping up further and further in the covers, when all I had to do was to get up and walk a few feet to fix the problem!! Of course, as I was awake, those nighttime thoughts, begin to take over and, boom, I 'm going down a slippery slide of worries and anxious thoughts that I can do nothing about!!! I guess that makes two things I can't stand in my old age!!! One is the cold, and the other is waking up being so cold that you can't go back to sleep because those worrisome thoughts are waging war in your mind!!!
