Dog says it's common up nawth, too.

Carolina, everyone , take care. Is your new heat pump under warranty, Carolina? what a time to fail!

It's the old heat pump that has failed....one too many times imo. That's why I decided to get a new one....which will be installed this Friday afternoon or Saturday, depending on the weather.

I'm warm enough w/the gas logs, but I don't leave them on when I'm asleep, so early mornings are chilly...ok make that COLD. Firing up the logs and the coffee maker does the trick, however.

I've got enough food in the freezer and pantry that I could hole up for months. I did not go to the grocery store today....already have milk, bread, and TP....the 3 essentials. LOL

Well, after 8 long hours, I've got the new computer up and running enough that I can post. It would have been earlier but my toolbars just completely and mysteriously disappeared and it took a sweet technician in India over an hour to solve the problem.

We're scheduled for ice/sleet tomorrow so I'm glad we don't have to go anywhere.
