sleep is wonderful, and if you get enough

you actually can function!

i took tylanol pm last night, and got almost a full night
i would still BE sleeping if bernie hadn't told me that 'the stove is stone cold' (duh it is a soapSTONE stove) and he couldn't get it lit.
i came down to a bright blaze and a stack temp of 400.
huh?
couldn't get it lit? it looked pretty damn lit to me!

so i am waiting on my coffee and watching the fire

today i am going to bethlehem with jen, who it turns out is a pretty good enabler for someone so very young
we will be shopping for (what else?) yarn!
felting yarns for me
for the boots and such

oh and my staub enameled cast iron 3 quart round casserole arrived, the box was damaged by ups, misdelivered......and i got intense attitude from the driver who i complained about the day before
i don't understand why, no matter what we do.....UPS can not find us, we've been here 22 years
they only seem to find us if the package is very light weight, if it's heavy........ they say we don't have a valid address!

now the weather, she is warming up..........well all things are relative no?
if you are running around outside and it's minus 7 with the windchill............ well then 28 feels warm ...right?
40 feels down right balmy and 58 will get you out in a teeshirt!

ok so it's warmish out, but i still need the energy to can ham and beans.......not enough sleep for that yet

today down at bernie's job, they are to get snow and ice......
i need to get in wood this afternoon so he doesn't have to incase he's home late
or
i HAVE wood incase he isn't home at all........

he hasn't had any relief in the road calls, as the guy who is supposed to relieve him, and who was HIRED to relieve him...isn't
they call that guy, but the guy doesn't answer the phone

so that is the state of my world as of today.......or at least this morning
i hope everyone has a happy new years
