I really did wear my snow boots today--but mostly so that I could title my post as I did. We did get snow last night, but by the time I got to the laundromat there was none on the sidewalk in the apartment complex. There is still snow on the grass though, whereever the day-time sun did not reach. And tonight will be quite cold, in the mid-20s.
I did not drive today, but I did go to the temple. When I started out, the nice coat I chose to wear--the one I got at the very first Swap Meet--was almost too much. At that point the sun was nicely shining. But nearly four hours later I was very glad I had chosen to wear it. I bundled up and put on my gloves, and was pretty comfortable walking home. I am already thinking that this coat is a keeper--even though I had thought I would just turn it back in to the Swap Meet when I leave in April. I think it looks really nice, and is definitely warm. The other coat I got a couple of months ago I do not think I will keep. It is a very long, heavy woolen coat, and is quite bulky. If the weather gets severely cold here I am sure I will be glad to have it.
I decided to make more cooked wheat today, and it was so very nice to have some freshly made to mix with oats this morning, and freshly cooked garbanzo beans this evening. I really do like wheat, although I am not a fan of bread [I probably have a sensitivity to yeast]. Not that I refuse to eat bread if it is available, but I can tell after I indulge that I just do not feel as well as I might like. Cooked whole wheat, on the other hand, just makes everything taste better for me, and I don't feel bogged down after having it.
I finished my letter to the mission president and his wife on my reading of The Book of Mormon in accordance with the mission challenge.
I got to talk with my Sweetheart this morning, and I will again this evening. That is such a blessing when our schedules allow for that.
