Check heart rate 100 done<\/p>\n

Check kettle and cats water done but not ready<\/p>\n

I can’t believe that all got done. The best part I am still alive. The cat that ran outside yesterday at full gallop while I was bringing in the gen. It is not all the way inside but in the garage. At least it is out of the wind.<\/p>\n

The wind makes the cold feel 10 times worse. Windchill they call it. I just call it really fucking cold.<\/p>\n

I have ten minutes before the kettle is ready. I am going to try to stick it out here with the boy cats till the water bowls are done. By then the kettle should be at full boil.<\/p>\n

I may try a few cuts on the board I brought in while I wait. Ya you knew. I would cut the rest of the board up. I would have chopped it into smaller pieces but the cats were huddled around the water bowl, too close to the chopping.<\/p>\n

Kitchen cats fed and watered. Their job is to keep mice out of the kitchen. They are loners and don’t like other cats. The prefer living there.<\/p>\n

I am horizontal, well mostly, my legs are. Trying to bring down my pulse rate. Down to seventy five.<\/p>\n

I need to make coffee, have vitamins and breakfast. Then find a quote and music for today.<\/p>\n

I just looked at the weather, the gusts were 30 km and temp was around -23. Windchill must have been -30.<\/p>\n

The last thing I needed to do was gas up and start the gen. That would be at 11 AM when the temp is a little warmer.<\/p>\n
