Life slows when the cold and snow set in. Looks like I don't have to go see the dentist this morning...not the dentist but the lady that cleans my teeth, Suzie...she's stuck at home...something about the garage door opener. Know that from experience as an opener I installed in December gets finicky when the single digit temps arrive, thinks something is obstructing the door, oh joy. And...was going to go and install a garage door today but at nine below I'm reconsidering that. Snow as usual, inch at most, the roads here in town are narrower what with the banks on either side. Be nice to see the sun again, more than the little we saw the day I bought a new snowblower. Had to put on the beaver-mittens this morning blowing snow and put the hood up on the down jacket as tis bitter cold. I guess I could mop the kitchen floor...that's another thing about weather like this...tracking in road salt/sand, boots piled up at the door, gloves mittens, hats, jackets piled up in the breakfast nook, one pair of boots on the boot dryer, those eye-opening puddles of snow-melt you find when you slip out of your slippers and reach for a dry pair of boots. Anyway, here I am all freshly bathed and scented with no place to go.
