Woke up to a cold house this morning. The thermostat only showed 56 in the living room. I immediately called the furnace repair man. They weren’t sure they could get here today due to the icy roads. However around 10:00 he showed up and got the furnace fixed. Somehow water gets in the line and there is a safety shut off valve that closes. No parts needed and my furnace was working again. Jones Heating and Air is the best! They always take good care of me.
I stayed home for a bit to make sure the house was really going to warm up. Then I went into Cottonwood Falls to work on the Symphony Newsletter. I worked from 12:30 until 4:45. Came home and did chicken, dog and cat chores. Man! It was cold out there today. Luckily I didn’t slip and fall on all the ice. Felt good to get chores done for the day.
I am tired tonight. I slept really good last night. Only remember waking up once during the night and I was able to go back to sleep rather quickly. That is rare for me but I kinda liked it. My cough is still hanging around. It is looser today and almost feels like I have asthma. Maybe by tomorrow it will lessen and I will be over this crud. This is day eight and that is enough for me!
Tomorrow I will go back in to the Symphony office and help get the last of the Newsletters sealed. Hoping to be done by noon. I don’t have anything I have to do in the afternoon but am thinking I may need a nap.
Saturday I have a tax shift to do from 9:00 – noon. Ellexia is competing in a gymnastics meet Saturday and if she has an event in the afternoon I may go watch her. Sunday morning I start my week-long babysitting with the grandkids gig. Have a feeling next weeks will go by quickly.
I heard thunder and saw lightning for a bit last night. It was all followed by an old-fashioned ice storm. It was a winter wonderland outside again today. Most school districts around cancelled school and the sheriff’s office recommended no travel until noon. The roads weren’t bad when I went to town at 12:30.
Bone chilling cold out there today. My hot bath will feel especially good tonight. My bones still feel a touch cold from this morning.
Grateful my furnace repair man was able to come so promptly and get heat back in my house grateful for space heaters and ovens that provide heat, and grateful for a hot bath to look forward to.
