It's cold, and it's raining...

aearwen...so I guess it must be winter, right?
The roofs of the houses around ours have been frosty, I'm told, early in the morning when my daughter Súl goes for her jog - when she doesn't cop out and drive to the gym to jog on a treadmill, that is.
Speaking of exercise, I've had to stop my morning walks for the next week or so. Seems that whatever I did to my knee six years ago, when I fell with all my (not inconsiderable) weight on my right knee onto the cement of my brother's driveway apron is now rearing its ugly head again. I can barely walk, and getting up out of a chair is agony. Gonna stay off of it as much as possible and pray that when the weather clears, I'll be able to do a very short walk.
Son Squeek, the one in Oregon, is getting his first taste of living in snow country. :-D Pardon me while I snicker. He tells me, "I love the snow, but they can keep the cold!!" I remind him, "Um... I think you can't have one without the other." His response: "I don't care. The cold sux, but the snow is neat, Mom." Suuuuuuuure it is, honey. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure it is. I'm waiting for him to turn into that old joke where someone moves to snow country and starts keeping a journal - first entry is "It snowed last night, and it's beautiful out this morning" and the last entry is "Oh damn. More of the white shit fell last night..."
It's pouring as I type this! A squall line must be passing through - my downspouts can't deal with the water and I've got a waterfall coming off the corner of the roof here! I think I'll hug my nice, hot cuppa herbal tea and be grateful for the little space heater under my desk.
Hope everybody here in LJ-land had a Happy Thanksgiving who celebrated it, and that those who didn't have a holiday are having a wonderful weekend.
