We've been waiting for it and now it's here. The Arctic air mass that has plagued other areas of the country and even brought snow to some areas. I sure hope we don't see any. It's bad enough that it's as cold as it is.
The Beast went to his church meeting last night and it was just 32 degrees at 6:30pm. It was the same at 9 when he got home but...in less than an hour, it had dropped down to 30 degrees and was still going down, down, down! It's 3:30am now and the temperature outside is 23 degrees. My heater is blasting away at the moment. My room is nice and toasty warm, thankfully but the deck looks covered in frost. It's been very damp out the past couple of days as this cold weather approached and it started to affect both daytime and night time temperatures. My poor arthritis in my left hand was/is very painful!
I woke up at a decent time and managed to stay up all day. I got dressed up nice and warm (I layered) and made sure my feet were warm. The Beast decided to make us chili for lunch and it turned out great. Very tasty and just enough *fire* in it for us. I enjoyed mine so much that I had it for my dinner. There is nothing better than a hot bowl of chili with some buttered crackers on a cold day. Yum!
I went to bed early since I had been up all day and had no nap. I told Bratfink goodnight and headed for bed. I figured I would probably be up in 3-4 hours to use the bathroom and could do this blog then. LOL....I was right. But it was 5 hours that I slept before being driven to wake up and run to the bathroom. I will be heading back to bed as soon as I get this posted.
Dennis and Diane finally got their new dining room table. I don't know what it is with those two and all the glass they have. Their coffee table, Dennis' desk, Diane's desk, Diane's dressing table and now the dining table. And they have 7 dining chairs. Huh? I'm sorry but that is a weird number to me. LOL!
Baron has been chewing on one of his paws for some reason. I told the Beast that if it doesn't heal (we have it bandaged up with some ointment on it) over the weekend, he has to take Baron in to the vets on Monday. It looks just awful but there doesn't seem to be any reason that he would be chewing on it that we can tell. He spends most of his time in the house and is only outside for a daily run around the circle or just long enough to pee. He does his duty after his run and that's about it for him. The rest of the time, he's here, in the house and spends most of his time laying down next to the Beast or in his lap.
Well, time to head back to bed. Love you all and I hope you all keep warm. It's Friday and the end of the work week for many. Make some fun plans for the weekend before the weather gets too bad. ***Hugs***
