Filthy windows

Does this big ball of warmth streaming in make it look like it's nice outside? Well, it's not. Arctic-cold enough for nostrils to stick together and skin to sting if left bare. It's only going to last a couple of days and then it'll be balmy, above-freezing days again.

Two thoughts ran through my head as I took this:
- the big ball is now setting to the right of the measuring notch between the two houses across the street.
- the visiting baby boy has made some abstract, smeary art on my windows while learning to stand against the cushions and looking out the window while practicing vowels and consonants.

I will no longer refer to the patient as the patient because he is a rock star and requires no more nursing besides dressing changes after showers. No more sponge baths either.
