2:20 am, do you hear the wind?

i am down here stoking the stove.
i was not going to come down, in fact i had gone to the bathroom and went back to bed.
thaddeaus had gotten settled back in against my back under the covers...

then

i heard the WIND...........high up in the trees but not stopping.
it was sounding like airplanes revving up to take off
it didn't stop after a while
so here i am
stoking the stove and worried about buying a back up emergency tank of oil
(well duh, OBVIOUSLY i need something to worry about or it just wouldn't be ME....oye)

the good news is the stove is burning brightly, so i really should go up right now.
but am i going to...... ha, what do you think?

now on to the daily kevetch (but at least for the most part they are funny, or they are mostly*** but not always*** intended to be)
oh wait....before that
two night so far in a row with no mice
i repeat
NO MICE
how about that!
i was getting concerned after the third day of double dead mice........

but the one trap is still baited and set......right in the middle of the stove
eww

you know........i forgot what i was going to kevetch about ( and i am pretty sure it was pretty funny)
oh the joys of age and sleep depravation........
