My Comfort Zone

Archive for September, 2011

Fall has finally began. Lucky for us though because our temperature is still in the 70’s and 80’s unlike in some states who are starting to get to lows in the 50’s. So basically, we can still enjoy our summer clothes like shorts, tees and those easy spirit sandals.

We will make the most of it while we still can because for certain, we will not be able to enjoy it by next month. Enjoy the summer clothing while it lasts!

I’ve not been feeling good since Wednesday though I can say, I feel a lot better today than yesterday. I guess it has something to do with the weather. I am not sure if the flu season has started, but it has been raining here lately. It was my son who first got cold. He is okay now so, I think it is my turn, huh? My husband didn’t feel good yesterday too when he arrived from work, but after taking med last night, he woke up feeling a lot better.

That made me glad. I don’t mind getting sick at all since I can lay down anytime I want unlike him who needs to work his butt off. He can take a leave if he really doesn’t feel good at all, but knowing him, for as long as he can still handle it, he will work. That’s how hardworking he is.

I am on my way to recovery now though. So glad!!!

Compare, compare, compare! With regards to prices that is a given when it comes to shopping or anything that you could think of that involves money. Because we do know that with the competition revolving around the marketplace, there is always great deals out there if you take the time to look. So more often than not, it is the consumer that wins when they‘re patient, and if you are resourceful enough to look for the greatest deal available, like me.

We will be shopping for new kitchen appliances probably this weekend so, yeah, you got it right: I am in the middle of comparing prices of different brands from different stores. I’ve already seen some good affordable stuff, but I am not going to stop yet. I am still taking my chances I might find some more good stuff.

It has been really chilly today. I had the furnace on, but it felt like it didn’t warm the house at all. Maybe the best thing for me to do is use the fire place or perhaps, go outside and light the outdoor firepit. That sounds like a good idea, but with the husband by my side.

I don’t want to go out and sit there alone. Isn’t it more romantic to feel the warm of the firepit as well as feel the warmth of your husband too? That would be the best furnace ever. You reckon? LOL.

My 8-year-old son and I were watching this show on TV about health when he asked about his late father all of a sudden. He remembered the things that I’ve told him before about why his father died. He had kidney failure and went through hemo-dialysis for two years before he passed.

I still feel sad when I remember those things, especially when I picture things out once again like the night that he was brought to the ICU because he was having difficulty breathing. That was my first time to have entered the ICU and seeing those equipments like ecg machines surrounding him made the room fell kind of creepy to me.

I get sad when I think of those things, but I have moved on. That is part of life. It is inevitable and we can’t do anything but embrace it.

The temperature has been in the 50′s since last night and the news forecast says it will be like this until the weekend. This is something unusual as they say because it is not even fall yet. It’s too early to get chilly like this. Well, the heat was felt as early as spring so I think it is not something to wonder about.

I am wearing my thermal pants and thermal long-sleeved shirt now, but I am still freezing. I can even hardly type here because my fingers seem to be frozen. LOL. The husband told me to run the furnace, but I am still lazy to get up. Maybe I will do it once I already froze my butt in here. The question is, will I still be able to stand up and turn it on once I already froze like ice? Duh! LOL.

Seriously, I feel like I am inside the refrigerator now. Brrr!!! Time to move my butt and turn on the furnace!
