As quick as it started the toothaches faded away. Last night I had a dozen episodes where the pain shot up to a 17. Felt like a dagger shoved through the top of, my skull right down to my jaw. Those were not fun. I had a long talk with God about that. I woke this morning and it was all gone. Will it come back I hope not. I got things to do.

The weather: the snow came, and of course already more than predicted and it is still snowing hard. I have to get out and do some chopping right away before it gets too deep. I don’t want to start the blower until the snow is done.

Looks like the cold will make one more stab Sunday night at -27, and they predict -7 in the daytime in a few days. For us right now that’s a heatwave. We have endured the polar vortex long enough. I shake my frozen fist at the cold.

Well, the chopping is done, got snow water to melt, got coffee made from filtered snow water. Now sitting back to enjoy another episode of Longmire. Good news is the sun is shining through that means the snowstorm isn’t really serious.

I just did that thing I do. I emptied the wheelbarrow and stacked the firewood inside. I don’t know why. I do know it needs filling again. I just did that. I don’t know what drives me to do that. Maybe it is the snow falling. Maybe it’s just because I can. Maybe that genius IQ I am supposed to have is broken. Maybe after I have a nap and rest my bod for a while, I will get back out there. I had planned to fire up the gennie and play on the xbox. But I guess I’m going to chop some more wood.

I feel tinges of earache and toothache, nothing major but maybe a hint.

Ya I couldn’t help it. I had to chop, so I did.
