COLD
I am cold again or is it still?
I think I have a cold too. But always seem to be cold most of the time for the past month. Maybe my body is rejecting the idea of winter. Perhaps it is saying no more living in the cold north, you need to move south. the only problem is I can't move much farther south and still be Canadian.
I can't be anything else so I will have to find ways of keeping warm until this coldness leaves for other victims.
so I sit here wrapped in a house coat and slippers. I keep checking the thermostat and putting my cold hands on other people's arms to watch them jump back and say, "You are cold!" as if I did not know it.
As I read this over so far a thought comes to mind. Why do we call it a house coat? It is a covering you usually only wear when in your home but I don't see it as the same thing as a coat nor do I see it particularly exclusive to houses. If you lived in an apartment would it them be called an apartment coat? What if you live in a castle... do we then have a castle coat? I think this would stand in the same frame of argument with the word house wife.
She is not married to the house and is not exclusive to even being in a house. Words like these only make things confusing for those learning the language and somehow we tend to accept these words as if they do make sense.
So I sit here, as John's wife not the houses, in my warm pajama covering and in my slippers.... Wait a minute. These things on my feet are not put on so I can slip or even to refrain from slipping. They exist to keep my feet warm.
Ok so Here I am, John's wife, in my pajama covering, and my foot warmers.
Have a warm and wonderful day where ever you are.
