The great thing about ageing is that your eyesight deteriorates at the same rate as your face. So I can’t see how bad things are getting.

Mild dizziness this morning, muscle pain everywhere, from fingers to toes. And to top it off ocular migraines classic white zaggy lined circles. That makes it a challenge to see the screen to type these words. Headaches bad headaches. I am sure I just need coffee. The water for that is on the wood stove and the fire was restarted, I did feed it at 2 am but that was a lot of hours ago.

I swept the snow off the solar panels fed all the critters that needed feeding, except the birds and put water out for the wayward kittens. I don’t think I could catch them, even with a net. I wish I could. I put some water out for them in a steel bowl, that will freeze in short while I will bring that in and put it on the fire.

Today I have enough wood to make it through another night, I will check the weather and make sure no more snowstorms are headed my way. If there is not. I can take a break from cutting and splitting for a day.
