God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say ‘thank you?’<\/p>\n

No I was not worshipping Satan. I was on my knees cutting wood and preparing the woodstove for this mornings fire.<\/p>\n

I watched an episode of SG1 about the Ori, who represented evil using fire as a prop. It made me think of cults. On the tv series the Ori were a dangerous cult.<\/p>\n

I was outside already gathering snow. Early this morning I heard a familiar crash the giant bowl full of water was dumped onto the ground.<\/p>\n

Another pallet was scrificed to the God of the woodstove. I am yet again babysitting the fire waiting for it to get to hot for cats to attack the bowl of snow.<\/p>\n

I cut more wood while I waited and brought a full box of litter and traded for the empty one. Like I said before I have been shoveling that in the firebox. It is wood pelletts, cat poop, and cat urine. It helps heat the house.<\/p>\n

Again I did too much emanual, e man uel labour. I just tried shoveling the poop bombs off the floor. I told myself that it would be less work to do when frozen. Now they were frozen to the floor.<\/p>\n

They do this near a french door that leads to my unheated wood work shop. Several of the panes have been broken over the years. I have covered the holes in plastic. It is not enough to keep out all of the cold.<\/p>\n

While was furiously attacking poop bombs with a shovel my back gave in. My upper back. I decided it was time for breakfast and coffee.<\/p>\n

Sitting way back in my office chair gave me much needed relief from the pain.<\/p>\n

The bad part, my boiled water was ready, my coffee and fixins not so much. I had to relive this morning’s pain in order to make a cup and some food.<\/p>\n

Inside my coffee cup some of last nights coffee. I drank that, it was sold it gave e a brain freeze.<\/p>\n

The fixins were readied and the anticipated firt pour was done.<\/p>\n

While I watched that happen I checked Amazon to see when Novembers orders would arrive. I was horrified. Dates started next year, from Jan 9 to 28th. That wasn’t Decembers orders. It was as I said in a previous post The postal union is angry and wrkers are working slow.<\/p>\n
