Let it snow, bitches
It seems there's some sort of bigass snow event headed our way in the not-too-distant future.
BRING IT ON.
Despite all that has been happening here with our collective health, I still managed to collect and split a nice batch of firewood a couple days ago to load into the racks and wheelbarrows by the house and get the snowblowers ready. The big generator (Yes!) is ready in case of any power issues, and there's a nice warm fire in the woodstove along with plenty of food in the house. If we do have to get someplace for whatever reason, there's two capable 4WDs.
The Boy Scouts have nothing on me. Besides, all they do is prepare you for Mormonism these days.
Our little, unassuming holiday has been quite relaxing and nice. The other half of the turkey breast we had for T-Day, roasted white and sweet potatoes, carrots and green beans along with crescent rolls made up our dinner, and Jeff has his beloved Dallas Cowboys fired up on teevee for his evening entertainment. I'll head down to the basement workshop (of Mayhem, of course) and wire in the 5kW electric heater I had ordered a couple weeks ago. This is one problem I've been dealing with since my surgery that has upset me - I just can't warm up anymore. Used to be I could work outside in subfreezing weather all day as if it were nothing. Nowadays I complain about being cold, even when sitting in front of the woodstove or one of the space heaters. I hope this passes.
Hope y'all had a great day.

My surgery was not quite as much a biggie as yours was - but, I, too, have noticed a reduced ability to tolerate the cold. I wear a hoody over my black sweatshirt.. so, I am warmer... but I cannot turn the heat back to 50 when I go to bed anymore.... this would make the apartment 55 - 56 degrees at night, but I cannot tolerate that for now.
This is inspite of the fact that I have a nice warm comforter, and two extra bedspreads on my bed.
Thus, I can only turn the heat back to 59 or 60 now.. sigh.
I suspect that this new found inability to tolerate the cold as well is indeed temporary.
As for the snow.. it is still too soon for me to shovel, so I'll have to use the snowblower, too.
*ULTRA-HOLIDAY-HUGS* and Merry Christmas!
snow?
Really glad xmas was so nice for the two of you and doubly glad you're still blogging on here to keep us posted.
