Wow. One day away and several pages to look through. Sounds like everyone is staying warm, or close enough to it. Thanks to my friend Kenneth, I have wood again. Elm does a pretty good job. Keeps the house at 71, even in these temps. The big unvented in the basement runs a bit, but I have it turned to about 72, and most of the stove's heat goes in the ductwork, as it's supposed to. Stepdaughter is sick right now, and we need a bit of humidity down there.
I learned a bit of a lesson yesterday about allowing for tire clearance on a trailer deck, and the importance of good friends, being prepared, and a cordless sawzall!
We took the Primate to the KU Natural History Museum today, adn he got to see dinosaur skeletons, live snakes, and all manner of cool things. He even went to sleep before midnight tonight, which is a blessing. Evenings I've been helping my elderly neighbor get her sister to the bathroom and to bed. She has been caring for her 24/7 for the past seven years, and she does it with good cheer. A truly spiritual lady, very humble and gracious. Used to I'd just go help when she called, but now I'm going every evening until her daughter returns from Texas
Stay warm into the new year!
