I found out today that it was actually -20 c with the wind chill, yesterday. Not the -15 c I thought it was..So no wonder the poinsettia froze to death. All who saw the plant, in it's frozen form, where wondering if it bounced back. And on top of this I was frozen as well. It took me hours, once I got home to warm up.
And today was no better. Just cold!
Well I said to them today, when I arrived, that I will have to go and see. It turns out that the day staff, through it out. I complained about this,as I was going to take it back and see what I could do. Not now.
You know I am not a rich man and I scraped together the cash to buy this plant for mom. My thought was that if I can't give her nice presents for Christmas I would at least get mom a Christmas poinsettia. And that turned out well, don't you think.
The other thing is, that the story is starting to be spread around now. All who saw the plant have now been telling other's about the frozen plant. So the story is getting out their. About the day that caused a poinsettia to die within ten minutes.
So the weekend and mom was tired, so she barely ate anything for dinner. She just wanted dessert and off to bed for her nightly spa treatment. I did get her to eat. Not as much as I would of liked her to eat.
The lights are on in her room. Christmas lights I mean. The music was playing,, Mom was happy.
That is all that matters. I don't care how cold I am. OK I do, but I am not going to stop going to see her. No matter how cold it gets outside.
Well anyways, I have to figure out how I am going to get mom another poinsettia. I don't have anymore money. That was it. This why I have decorated her room so much, as I can't give mom what she deserves for Christmas.
I need to end this for the night, I have allot to do yet before I get to bed. Laundry, cooking mom something for tomorrow. Enter more contests. Maybe I might win something, that would be good for mom for Christmas.
As I wrote last night, Send mom a card, go to the store, buy a card, write something nice, and mail it. Mom would love it.
The address is on yesterday's blog.
Pray for mom and for me, that I would be able to give mom something for Christmas.
GOD bless and good night
