Into each life some rain must fall<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<\/strong><\/p>\n

All my parcels are in at the village. I went out to inspect the driveway. It was much worse than expected.<\/p>\n

6 inches of wet snow, ice and rain coming down. I wasn’t going anywhere.<\/p>\n

The snowplow hadn’t been here for days, again.<\/p>\n

Oh well, I have enough catfood to last the weekend, and enough ramen to keep me going. Most important I had coffee, filters and whitner.

I was good. Even had enough fuel to keep the gen running.<\/p>\n

Today the cats been fed and watered, snow and firewood gathered.<\/p>\n

Some boards cut up and made into kindling then lit on fire. Inside the woodstove of course.<\/p>\n

The kettle was full of store bought water, along with the big bowl full of snow were sitting on the woodstove getting warm.<\/p>\n

Me, well I am resting by the fire, gathering energy for my next task.<\/p>\n

The gen needs a filling and starting.<\/p>\n

During the night an amorous cat had loved a bunch of stuff off the shelves and on to the floor. I needed to pick all that up and resort it all back into the bins that used to contain them.<\/p>\n

I needed to cut up a few more boards for later. Or even better cut them later. Ya you already know how that went. I cut another ten feet of board, ready for the fire.<\/p>\n

I also filled a 5 gallon bucket with used cat litter pellets to put on the hot coals. That would keep the fire burning all day on low.<\/p>\n

I learned watching a series online that St. Sebastion was the patron saint of pain. I will need to contact him. Now that I cut more wood, I really need to ask for some relief from the pain.<\/p>\n

Coffee and breakfast needed making. I needed to lay down to lessen the pain in my back. Then I could go back to killing evil warlords and monsters. MGSV<\/p>\n

The kettle was showing a little steam escaping, almost hot enough to fill the thermos. Then onto the next thing.<\/p>\n

Catbowls now filled with snow were put on the stove to melt. Cats would have more water soon.<\/p>\n
