Some thunder boom booms meant I was awakened by a 65 pound dog who thought she could escape the noise by standing on my head. Stoopid beast. ---

Heh, I have enough trouble just playing it with my fingers. 😛 I wanted to go downtown with my sister today but I woke up feeling awful. It’ll pass soon, though. 🙂 If I stay home, I can get some work done anyway. ---

I opened windows on da back side of da cave. What a weird thing to be able to do in January in the northern hemisphere! Still, kinda nice to air the place out a bit. ---

> [@VunderBob](#): > > Ya weenie. I got arctic rated sleeping bags, and I’ve used them to the limits of their individual ratings. Most recently was 25F, and it was toasty. Stacked together, they’re good for -20F. Haven’t tried them that low, yet. No gloves were needed 😛 If I had a sleeping bag, or had _planned_ on going camping it wouldn’t have been so bad, just had my bed & blanket. Expecting up to 2" of rain today; mebbe I’ll stay in. ---

I’m doing all right. Feeling a bit better now. I should get back to working on my projects instead of procrastinating on the Dope and finding Moxy Fruvous covers on YouTube. haha 🙂 ---

Dreary dreary day… But I won good daughter-in-law points by hemming some pants for my FIL so he’ll have comfies to wear as he recuperates from surgery. yay me. 😃 Bean soup for supper, when I get around to it. Meanwhile, I’ll knit and chill. Not much else to do on a soggy day. ---

Dreary and soggy here as well. The power went out for about half an hour even. Weird. That’s pretty much the excitatement from swampland. ---

Dreary, windy and extremely soggy here. Today is the big 'Hawks v. Saints game. This weather works in our favor against Drew Bees. Hopefully, our power stays on. There are many people without power right now. Got some “fake” dry cleaning going on the dryer right now; another load of clothes washing, dishes washing, and have done some general picking up. Yesterday was taken up with errands for settling MiL’s estate and taking down Christmas. Yes, I was a little late with taking down the tree and decorations; we’ve been very busy. :o Hubby will be taking off soon to rent a trailer to haul the tree and some yard debris to the dump. Tomorrow, he’ll utilize the trailer again and haul actual trash stuff to the dump. Well, back to chores. ---

Holy crap - the sky just opened up here!!! No thunderboomers, but much rainage falling from above!! \*\*FCD \*\*has rescheduled his return to next Firday, arriving in DC on Sat morning. I get to pick him up at Union Station 7:20 in the AM. Then we’ll go out to breakfast and come home and resume what passes for normal in our lives. 😃 ---
