Tuesday 9 December

Lightly, steadily snowing. I was surprised to see the snow when I first got up, but if the forecast holds, it is supposed to gradually warm and eventually turn to rain and that will be a cold, sloppy mess. We had a nice walk. It's quite dark, because of the heavy cloud cover. The road is slippery and some idiots still drive fast and slipped and slid. Unfortunately J planted the idea in my head yesterday that even on the sidewalk I am not completely safe from cars and I didn't give the idea much credence until this morning when I experienced the slippery road. Oh great. Another thing to worry about -- from now on I will keep my eyes on those cars and trucks speeding up and down the hill, even with the eyes in the back of my head.

It was so cold yesterday. It never got out of the teens. It was around 8F when the dogs and I walked last night but with the encroaching damp, the cold didn't bite the skin of my face quite so sharply.

Work is still busy. I keep bumbling along. I wore so many layers of clothes to work yesterday, and will probably wear nearly as many today. The damp is even worse down there by the river.

I dreamt again about the comfortable, comforting man. Reassuring, gently protective, kind. I was in his house, in a room with M. She was having a small crisis and I was simply with her. And then I left the room she was in and he was there and he led me to another room and told me he would be there if I needed him, and we kissed and parted, our hands touching as we walked further away in opposite directions, our arms reaching, stretching as our hands slid across each other down our fingers to our finger tips as we both turned and headed in our own different directions. He was small and dark and had messy curly hair and I think he was Jesus, come to me yet again in a dream, to touch me with his love, as he does come to me in dreams, ever and always reassuring me, and comforting me, and sharing the joy of his love with me. M is being cared for by him too, as I pray for daily, even tho she has not turned her heart to seek him. He is with us, and he has shown me where I can find him. We live in his house. I carry that reassuring warmth inside me through the day.

I am certain I will need to fill the bird feeder this morning. I am very much looking forward to another cup of tea. KC sent M some $ for Christmas so I am mailing that off to her today. I plan to write her an email too. I got a tuition bill from the college and at this point, we have a fairly sizable credit going into next semester, which is a very welcome thing to see.

I simply would like to get through the day and not feel tremendously exhausted at the end of it.
