Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself: sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
Matthew 6:34 From Original Greek
Another snow storm has started. Saturday night starts a week long extreme cold spell.
You can’t see the snow falling in the pictures. This morning cats got fed and watered. The fire restarted. The gen filled put outside and started.
The kettle filled, my office cistern filled.
Yesterday was an xtremly paifulday day. My back like my right knee seems to be able to predict big weather changes. Only the back pain was severe. Then my toothach returned.
After 18 hours of suffering I finally reached for a tylenol.
This morning is better, but I will have oatmeal instead of the crunchy cereal.
I managed to get my catfood orders picked up, got a few groceries to get me through the cold spell. Even managed to get three big jugs of water filled loaded and brought inside.
Ya I know what your thinking, it was moving the big jugs of water that re-injured my back. Nope it started hurting before I woke.
I had to move the water, groceries, catfood, and hand saw some boards into firewood with the back pain.
I am sure those things made it worse. Today I plan to just relax, play a little Witcher 3. I will have to deal with firewood tomorrow.
It might be too cold to run the gen during the next few days. That worries me a little December the days are too short and the angle to low to generate any power.
January it starts to get a little better. That is usually the coldest month as well. Oh well deall with that then. Got enough to worry about today.
And today got interesting. I went down to retrieve my kettle. I found a filter for my plastic cone, added measured ground coffee. I filled my thermos as much as possible with hot water. I still had some left in the kettle. I thought I was being smart bringing that upstairs to use for morning coffee.
I started to pour and something went horribly wrong. I don’t how or why but I knocked over the coffee cup.
Scalding hotwater and coffee grounds spilled all over one leg and worse my bed and the floor.
Cleaning that up cost me an hour of time.
The next challenge was to find my bag of hormone free powdered whole milk to whiten my coffee.
I searched everywhere for another twenty minutes. It was when I quit searching I saw it. My coffee was ready to drink. Finally.
I started my XBOX and remembered I had downloads to do. It would have been smarter to start two hours ago when I started the gen.
It doesn’t matter, I have hot coffee and oatmeal. While I drink and eat the downloads can continue.
No matter what happens in your day, keep going.
U9DATE:
6 PM or there abouts. I finished the evening feeding of fire and cats, the gen got brought in. Four inches of snow got moved. I remembered after i brought the gen in I needed to handcut more wood. Yup nothing like cutting boards in total darkness. That got done.
The fire got loaded and I am ready to check mail, parcels and the weather. I am hoping I can run the gen tomorrow if it is not too cold. I just got interested in Witcher 3 again after the big update. It is prettier but mostly the old women looked more wrinkly.
Yup just what I thought cold , windy and snowy for the next three days and nights, then just realllllllllly cold after that. Real temp -46 with windchill we could see -60 again.
