Constant repetition carries conviction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Just about March. Then comes April, after that May. Basic calendar.<\/p>\n

I just have to survive the next three months. March seems to be the snowiest. April starts to warm, by Easter snow is melting. End of May, plant gardens. Usually.<\/p>\n

Cats fed, and the morning fire is crackling, water in the kettle on top waiting to boil.<\/p>\n

Already have a can of gas poured for the gen. Cats have water.<\/p>\n

All that is left is to put coffee in the filter. When the water is hot enough, pour.<\/p>\n

If I wanted to be more efficient, I could be filling up the gen while I wait for my water to boil, or even getting the filter filled with coffee.<\/p>\n

It is warm right here in front of the fire and I get to socialize with the boys.<\/p>\n

Time is up, the kettle is boiling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The cone and filter are ready to go. I go back to the fire room a minute after I left, and my chair by the fire is occupied.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Coffee poured and onto the next job. Knees are painful today, and something painful on my lower abdomen.<\/p>\n

Gen needs filling and starting. And that job is done. Time from starting to drinking coffee, 2 hours.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I will do it again.<\/p>\n
