This time last month I was resisting the urge to turn on the a/c (a urge which I eventually lost by the 16th or so). This month I have been fighting the coolness of the house in a steadfast refusal to turn back on the heat. I lost that battle today when I kicked on the fireplace. Crazy weather. It's not that it's cold outside. It might be seventy out right now, but the nights have been downright chilly. From what I hear from others across the country, this up-and-down weather pattern is the same everywhere. Oh well. It won't be long till we're roasting in one-hundred degree temps that won't let up. At least that's the normal way of summer. Who knows with this year. I use to say midwestern weather was unpredictable. Now I say it's that way in the south. I'm thinking maybe this craziness is the new normal for everywhere.
Today our community is hosting the funeral of a fifteen-year old who attended our kids' high school... he drowned on Easter Sunday. This morning I read in our local news of a nineteen-year old who was killed by a manufacturing accident as he began his work day. The middle told us a story of a six-year old that was killed in a freak accident while with his dad. The youngest recalled a news story she just read of a newborn being found alive in a hospital morgue. Evidently it's not just the weather that is crazy.
Oh, and today is my first day of cutting back on the coffee.
Craziness everywhere.

What's this? Cutting back on coffee? Are you CRAZY?
My stomach must be. I think it's been rebelling against my nightly cup... at least that's the only thing I can figure out.
