Afternoon.
We were able to make our "produce run" this morning without battling the weather and/or rescheduled appointments! YAY US!
Skywise is on his way to work and the weather looks to be reasonably seasonable for the next week. That could change though so I'm not gonna bet any money on it!

I'm sitting here wearing a sweatshirt with a tee-shirt under it and I have a double layer of an afghan on my lap and I'm going to get up and get my fleece jacket as soon as I finish posting this. I'm cold  Smiley and I just ordered a set of blackout/thermal curtains for the patio door in front of me which might as well be open for all the good it does to keep the cold out. Yeah, I know. Glass is NOT a great insulator. Anyway, if these new curtains do the trick, I'll be getting them for every window in the house. This place was designed when "cold" wasn't much of a problem. Smiley Judging from the news out of Europe, those days are long gone.....

And...... Moonie informed me that it is snowing. I looked and she's right.
Yesterday, it was 50 degrees and raining like hell.....

Afternoon.
The curtain I ordered is scheduled to arrive tomorrow according to "Track and Confirm" which is good since a Polar Vortex is heading this way.  Smiley Skywise is on his way to work. He'll be on one of the docks and I hope he doesn't get too cold.

It's currently 22 degrees and snow is moving in. It's supposed to be light in this area but that could change. I'm sitting here with a lap robe over my legs and my ankles are still cold. I'll be glad with that curtain gets here.....  Smiley

Skywise is on his way and he isn't especially happy. He has to work tomorrow. *sigh* So I'm going to head out now so I can go to bed as soon as he gets home or shortly thereafter. We'll be moving fast tomorrow.

Everyone sleep well and be safe.  Smiley  Smiley

Afternoon.
We managed to get everything done that needed doing this morning.
The new curtain for the back door came but since Skywise isn't here, it can't be put up until tomorrow. Rats. It's gonna be colder than a polar bear's toenails later in the week so that will be the first real test.
I'm going to get prone for a while then get busy. Lots to do.....  Smiley  Smiley Smiley  Smiley

Morning.
I've been working on some crochet while Skywise was online. Now I'm going to get caught up.

Greetings.
I've had a lot to do today and this is my first chance to sit down and post.
We're getting ready for the "Big Freeze" that's coming. Smiley I'm really not looking forward to it -- it could have waited until all the new thermal/blackout curtains were up but what are you going to do?

The leading edge of the Polar Vortex has arrived and it's getting colder by the hour. Smiley
Anyone who still believes in "Global Warming" needs to turn themselves in for a psych evaluation....

Skywise just called and I'm heading out.
It's 14 degrees. I don't know the wind chill but it has to be cold. He said he was warm enough. Fortunately, the Dinkmobile warms up really fast so if he needs to be thawed out, he will be in short order.

Greetings.
I'm waiting for an email invoice to come through so I can pay it.
My email has gremlins 'cause everything seems to be coming through except the invoice.  Smiley Smiley
It is also cold.
This house was not built for this kind of cold. It's not supposed to last long..... this time... Smiley

The email didn't show up until around 4:50 but I managed to get it paid.
It is unacceptably cold in the main bathroom. I'll bet money that I don't have that there is little to no insulation behind the tub "wall".
My hair is finally dyed. Hopefully, I won't catch a cold.

I just ordered thermal blackout curtains for the girls' rooms which are particularly cool right now. The current polar vortex is supposed to lift back up to the north by the end of the week but there WILL be a "next time" and I want to be ready.

It is currently 5 degrees F. and the windchill is -8 degrees F. No wonder I'm a bit cold. Smiley
Skywise just called and he's on his way home. He didn't sound too frozen.
I'm heading out. The bed will be warm.

Everyone sleep well, be safe and be warm.

Afternoon.
Greetings from Hoth 2.0
It was -8 degrees, -30 wind chill when we left for the produce run this morning. It was the same when we got back. It is currently either -3 or -5 -- depending on which source you consult -- with wind chill -20 degrees. The Postal Service has cancelled deliveries statewide so I'm justified in calling Indiana Hoth 2.0. Of course, Skywise still has to work since while nothing will be delivered, mail will still be coming in from outlying post offices which will be open and it will need to be processed.
"I" will probably be doing more laundry. *sigh*  Smiley  Smiley

I've come to a conclusion.
Given how hideous I look with long white hair, I have GOT to dye my hair more often! Like as soon as there's about a quarter to a half inch of new growth!

It's now 1 degree F., with wind chill of -12 and the farther north you go, the colder it is.  Smiley

Spirit learned to be very careful with fire today. She burned a hole in her glove while tending a fire. Smiley Fortunately, she isn't hurt and the fire is out. She needs new gloves though. I have a spare pair she can use until she can get some new ones and she probably should get some leather ones for fire tending.

Skywise has called. He's on his way home. He promised to be careful.
It's -2 or -5 depending on the source. Basically, it's cold. Smiley The wind has died fortunately so there's no wind chill around here anyway.

I'm heading out now.

Everyone sleep well, be safe and stay warm! Smiley  Smiley  Smiley

Afternoon.
Went into town for my doctor's appointment and lunch.
It's cold but the wind has FINALLY died down. It's supposed to snow tonight and be near 60 by Sunday.  Smiley
I've changed into sweats and I'm in for the day.
