I’m-a just mad about-a fourteen a-she’s just mad about me

I learned a small, but valuable lesson early this morning: turn my bed on either later, or reset it before I go to bed.

I woke up briefly at 5:37. You know, just to see what the time was. Then I felt it – a cold bed. The bed had shut off probably a half hour earlier.

I curled up in a small ball in hopes of preserving some warmth. It almost worked. Then I woke up at 6:47. I tied to go back to sleep, but it was a light sleep. I ended up getting up about 5 minutes before the alarm went off.

Happy hump day y’all. Stay warm. It’s -42 with the wind. Ugh.

Baby, the best part of me is you

Shady Acres is asleep for right now. I’m sure when my dad wakes up, we’ll be doing his honey do list. There’s only a few more things to do on it, so that’s a good thing.

It’s grey, windy and cold. It’s supposed to get wicked cold tonight. I’ll be closing my window almost all the way tonight, I put an extra blanket on last night. I’m not used to this cold. I’m sitting here, with numb toes, cold hands, and a frozen nose. If I was a smart man, I should’ve bought fall/winter clothes when I first got down here, but I didn’t. So I’m starting to pay for it. As a last resort, I have a sweater that I can put on if needed.

What am I going to do when it gets even colder? We’ll find out!

And I really miss Crystal. On days like this we’d be curled up on the couch watching movies and drinking tea. It’s harder on the grey days. We both feel terribly alone. I try really hard not to think about stuff like this, because then I’d have to explain to my mom why I’m crying on her couch. I put on my smile and say I’m ok. I just keep looking out the window like I’m expecting Crystal to pull up and honk the horn. Each night I fall asleep with the dream of pulling up to her campground spot and her running toward me. I miss her so so much 😢

And I know she misses me just as much. I just love her more than anything in the whole world.
