Greetings from the Coldest House on the Block

Long time, no talk, Internet.

I didn't mean to drop a Big Serious Entry on you and then disappear, but work has been keeping me hopping. Also, I'm kind of lazy.

The window guys are here today, replacing my old back door/window combo with floor-to-ceiling faux French doors. They cut the house open around 11, and I am debating whether putting on my parka would be an extreme reaction.

I've taken advantage of my desire to be away from all the noise and stuff by: 1) moving all the firewood left over from last year down to the basement in preparation for fresh firewood coming in; 2) taken a load of garbage/recycling to the dump/recycling depot; 3) cleaned the garage from top to bottom, and; 4) done several loads of laundry.

I'm very glad I made extra spaghetti last night so that I could just microwave the leftovers for lunch. Woooo! (Except I dropped the container on the floor, broke a corner off, and didn't notice until I had scarfed half the spaghetti. Here's hoping I don't die from punctured intestines!)

I have another load of garbage that should probably head over to the dump, but I'm very tired. I know that I will have more work to do in the garage when H&H bring over a load of firewood (I love you guys!), and I'm really looking forward to firing up the woodstove, letting the cats out of their dungeon, and having a really really long, hot shower when the window is finished.

Happy Thanksgiving, all!
