I just went outside to clean the skimmer and it struck me that it is way too cold to be the 1st day of May.  I really haven't been outside much, but the few short times were too chilly for me.  I still carry this faith that warm weather will arrive eventually and I see me complaining about the heat then.  I can't figure which I would rather complain about the most.  Maybe it just the 'other' extreme which ever happens to be present.  But there is little else to complain about for today.  It has been quite pleasant in all other ways.  I have been very busy, very productive and very happy with the present state of things.  We even won a battle with R C Willey over a charge on our account that they messed up on.  It involved the two of us on the phone, mostly Sheila talking to them.  She even ended up callling the sales person that sold us the stuff before they finally got it right.  Of course I am still flying high after my experience with the IRS yesterday.  Today we wrote out the check and mailed it off, so it did cost us some thing and therefore wasn't a perfect outcome.  But my imaginary monsters were not realized.  Life won't be an easy game though, because there are still (Sheila's favorite word:) vicissitudes out there waiting their turn.  But we are experienced warriors and anticipate victory, or at least a reasonable imitation.  It is only 8:06, but I am content to leave my office and start my day ending routine.  I will be content to ponder out the rest of my time and then sit down in my 'chair/bed' under a warm quilt and enjoy the satisfaction of a good day, and contemplate on the good things that have come our way.  I will fret over the 'comeuppance' from Nicholas.  We have been slackers when it comes to our letter writing.  We resolve to do better.  I had thought that he read this blog and therefore I didn't need to write.  Guess that isn't the case.  Again, we resolve to do better.  Still have lots on my mind.  So much to think about, so much to do.  And the same 24 hour days as always.  I need to figure out a way to make it all work.  Any ideas?  Wee, I'm cold and I'm tired, and I'm content to call it a day.  That warm quilt really appeals to me.
