Jared made an interesting comment as he walked out the door today, leaving for work. He said I'm a little like the fairy tale Rapunzel, being all shut up and away from society while in our apartment (on the second level). We even have to walk up a flight of stairs after walking through the door before we get to the living space! My own little tower.
So maybe it is a little true. When he takes the car most days, I'm stuck here in the apartment. It's been too cold to do very much outside and I don't have many reasons to leave the apartment, except to walk down and up a hill to get the mail some days. The only other valid reason to leave is to do the laundry, but every time I go outside in the rain or cold, I come home freezing and sickly.
Today, I woke up with a terrible cold. It has been forming slowly over the past week, but yesterday my voice started getting low and raspy (it does not sound sexy when it happens to me) and this morning Jared just laughed at me when I tried to talk and only half the word would come out loud enough to hear.
So today, I am Rapunzel with a cold. Jared cracked some jokes and said I could go outside today on the patio. Woo hoo. And that I have permission to open our patio door :) So I guess he isn't a terrible person keeping me locked up in here. In fact, he doesn't even lock the door when he leaves!
This means I should grow my hair out super long. I won't bleach it though like the Rapunzel in Tangled. I like my hair darker colors too much.
But maybe I will throw caution to the wind and I'll open the door today! It's supposed to be mostly sunny and rather warm in the afternoon! Who knows, maybe some fresh air will help me get over this silly sickness. I'm supposed to be studying for a midterm next week, but my brain is not working fast enough right now. Slow and steady should win the race though (or pass the class).
The running tally of movies watched for the other person has changed to a tie! Jared 4 Stephanie 4.
