Auntiedigr called from Indianapolis, she casually mentioned the -36 windchill...
|
that is too fucking cold. good luck to all of you. im, I hope your pipes are ok.
|
Sheesh. That's crazy cold.
|
-8F no wind, they say 33F Friday. I can't wait.
|
It's 11 degrees above zero! My house is at a normal temperature. The hot water came back to the bathroom. I'm hoping with the increasing warmup that other pipes thaw too, that nothing is busted, but we'll see.
SUCH a relief. After creative heatering yesterday, and with the wind down, I was much more comfortable yesterday but Monday was brutal. Really brutal. I forget to respect the dangers (and pains) of cold. |
That's good news. I hope as it continues to warm a little today, everything in the infinite monkey abode returns to normal.

Thanks. I feel so much better today. My friend is going to start replacing my bathroom floor today, though. Since it's winter his construction work is scarce and he's going buggy sitting at home, and also only having his wife's income...so I may be scooting out a day or two anyway. Not convenient but maybe this all has been the catalyst for me to finally get this crap done.
Now if I could only channel a neat-freak-home-decorator persona...maybe I could stand it here a while longer. |
If you could move, where would you move to?
|
Oh, just the town south of here, probably. Where I was born and grew up. It's about the same size as this town only it's SO much nicer. I would love a condo, or an apartment downtown, in an old building. IT would be so cool to walk to the nice stores and restaurants.But this is all wishful thinking for now.

Well, it can be good to have a goal to work to. Tell yourself that someday you will live there, and then make it happen.
It's amazing how important location can be. My MIL has a nicer house than us on a bigger piece of property, but she's in the middle of a tobacco field way on the outskirts of her little town with cars that zoom by in front of her house at 60 mph on that lonely country road. She can't walk anywhere. |

Thanks! This 17 degrees feels like a tropical heatwave!

It was -70 degree C on Mars. Anyone who so wants to be a first man on Mars should be quite happy (or complaining) that it is so warm here on earth.

This cold snap is really improving now. It was 28 when I walked to the Metro this morning. Positively balmy.
And I just read a nice little article that puts a positive spin on this frigid week we've had. Quote:
