I woke in great amounts of pain. Every muscle screaming, every joint aching. I couldn’t imagine what i did to deserve this karmic debt.
I must have been a very bad person in previous lifetimes. Some think that of me now, but they are wrong. Lots of evil here.

Anyways cats needed water. Girl cats won’t be fed till after coffee. They broke into my kitchen and tore a catfood bag open.

I gathered all the bowls, loaded them into the wheelbarrow I just emptied. Moved all that to the outdoors. Just in time to catch the sun coming out of the trees.

I came out to gather snow but decided to gather and chop a couple of big logs that I had laying around. Chopping went easier, at least easier than getting the fire lit.

I am back inside, snow is on the cold woodstove along with my kettle for coffee. I just threw a plastic oil jug in there to help the fire along.

You may criticize me for burning plastic, but I know it doesn’t end up in the ocean or in containers in the Phillipines.

I think I can see flames now but not the crackle of wood burning yet.


I wish I understood the dynamics behind the vibrating bowl. It looked like motion that could be captured and converted to energy.
The bowl kept moving for an hour and probably would have kept going except for the thirsty cats that needed the water.

It wasn’t only the cold and the heat causing this because when the snow had melted and the water warm the movement continued.

 



Then came the fog of ice that hid the sun from my solar panels. I really needed that generator. It would be hard to charge any of my devices.
