Improvements in the Internet Situation

A few of the websites are starting to work. Still not Ravelry or Accuweather. Who needs Accuweather . . we have a blizzard blowing in tonight and I’ll be watching the temp all night so it’s a good thing that website is non-accessible for me.

Internet and trash pickup . . that’s what I miss living out here. What I don’t miss . . neighbors, car horns, red tag man, sirens, people knocking on my door . . I can live without internet (just joking!) and trash pickup. I have to remind myself sometimes of the advantages of living out here when the internet is acting up . . which is pretty much always these days. It’s ok . . for now, this is where we need to be.

So, tonight Vince’s package finally arrived at Walmart. I didn’t even ask what was in it. It was small. Could be diamonds for his lovely wife, but I doubt it. I thought he said sweatpants but I think it was too small for that. Oh, speaking of sweatpants, those gosh awful blue ones turned up over the weekend. I never did see them go through the laundry and you can bet when I do see them, they’re going to get lost.

The wind is blowing like crazy and the temp has dropped a lot. I would tell you how much but I can’t get to either weather site. Heck . . it’s just money . . I’ll get on the hot spot box. 21° in a bit over two hours. That’s how much the temp has dropped since we left home. If you count the “real feel”, it’s dropped a bit over 30°. I am glad to be inside. Vince has to be at work early in the morning, which means . . you know who has chicken duty and depending on how much precip we get tonight, the chicken doors will all be frozen shut. They’ll be better off inside anyway . . especially since their water inside won’t be frozen and I dumped all their outside water and I’ll be having to haul water from the house out here . . in 20° weather. Tell me again why I have chickens!  🙂

I told Vince I’d go to Walmart with him if he’d go to Cotton Patch for dinner and he agreed but then he wanted to go to Aldi after we went to Walmart. All this time it’s getting colder and colder and the wind is blowing like crazy and I’m thinking . . I have to put the chickens up and someone has to put all these groceries away and most of it had to go in the shop fridge. Brrr . . it’s cold and I don’t like cold.

De-Icer

It was very nice to see that all over town, except the highway in front of our house, that the city/county/state . . someone . . has put down de-icer. Thankfully Vince only has 4 miles to go before he gets to a road that has the de-icing solution on it.

Oh, great . . just remembered I didn’t turn the heat on in the sewing room. Back out into cold . .
