C-c-c-c-ooooold Outside


 Our internet was out today. That should help his ratings, shouldn't it?

One half the second bedroom flooring is in. 

I made a good pot of soup. Tim unplugged the soup. Soup quietly burned away in the kitchen because he unplugged the coffee pot instead of the crock pot. 

It is cold enough outside that the house is making strange noises. Odd pops, and creaks. Tim has the wood fire going and has fallen asleep on the couch in the library. I have an idea he'll be spending the night there. 

School is on a 2 hour delay tomorrow.

  1. Ue some masking tape and label your cords by their outlets. Might help him pull the right one at the right time. Linda in Kansas

    1. I think that is called enabling. He is a grown man - one just follows the cord from the pot to the outlet. Of course, I have been divorced for 37 years so I really can't say I am an expert when dealing with men.

  4. It is cold. Pain awoke me very early this morning. The cold house kept me awake. So I had a very early coffee, and here I am.

  5. My deck is a popping right now which means we are somewhere south of about -10 F. According to my app, it feels like -22 F. I'm not going outside to verify that last fact!

    Our school is cancelled for today.

  6. I laughed at the soup - sorry! It sounds like a good day to hunker down indoors and keep warm.

  7. I made soup and a New Years resolution yesterday. Whenever the orange piece of shits voice or self appears on TV I will immediately change the channel. He has nothing honest to say. I hope all the Americans that voted for him are happy with their vote. I guess no one took a shot at him yesterday or I would have heard. Our news is full of him too so I don’t hear much of our own news. He is just a bullshiting bully and he needs to just get out of my life for my mental health.
    My house is creaking and cracking to with this cold and my dog refuses to go out, unless she hears another dog out there barking. If I didn’t have a haircut appointment today I would be hunkered down under a blanket in my chair. Stay warm Debby, Gigi

  8. That's frustrating about the soup. I don't think the schools have ever shut down because of the cold here. There's no recess when it's colder than -13F, but otherwise, life continues on. I used to moan about being outside during the cold weather until I watched a series set in Nunavut, everyone was outside during the cold and life continued on. Made me rethink what I wear and how I can enjoy outdoors more in the cold. It's a cute show.

  9. Im sorry about your soup Debby, not funny at all--speaking of cold and it being -6 in Pittsburgh, I woke up at 4am freezing my you know what off! They're working on it as I write, thank goodness...

    Good morning Doug,
    Our HVAC tech is on site working on the heat issue. It should be warming up soon. As of now, he should not need to visit your unit, please let us know if you have any further issues.

  11. Ah, Jeez. He only had to do one little thing...
    Honestly, I might have done the same.
    Y'all stay warm!

    1. Oh, no, that good soup ruined! How sad. Can't say I haven't done something similar in my life though.
      Stay warm, Debby. It is supposed to be even colder tonight.

I'm glad you're here!

Keep Calm and Carry On
