To say she is unprepared may be an understatement. The woman came here with a pair of slip-on boat shoes (and that's it, for her feet), no winter coat, one Christmas sweater, and one "Happy New Year" sweater, and I think 2 pairs of socks. Apparently, her winter coat is at one of my sisters, and boots are at another ones. She was not well prepared. And she was a girl scout for goodness sake. She drops hints to my friends when they are here about how cold we keep it in the house. I'm waiting for the day she slips a note in someones hand charging me with cruel and unusual punishment, or unjust treatment of the elderly.
She has been having trouble "getting started" in the morning more and more lately. She finally announced to me, "I think I know what my trouble is in the mornings. I think its the weather." "Oh....The humidity?", I said. "Oh!! You mean THE COLD...I warned you mom. I told you it was cold up here, this shouldn't be a surprise. It is January. In New Hampshire." I think I may have also said something later about the cold "getting her in the end", and the fact that "she will cry when this all sinks in - she does not live in Florida anymore."
Yes, I know I am cold hearted. Alas, I am a New Englander now.
I'll keep you posted.
