Good morning! It's a gorgeous morning. The sun is shining brightly, and reflecting off all the ice. It makes it look pretty, but it's extremely cold and treacherous out there ... and I am NOT going out until I have to! LOL! I know there has been traffic on my road, so I suspect this morning it is a solid sheet of slippery ice; and tomorrow morning will likely be the same. Hopefully with the sun out, at least some of it will melt off and dry away. I should be able to get to work tomorrow; on the other hand ... no water this morning! LOL! I was prepared for that though, so we'll be ok until it thaws out. With the sun out, even though the temps are cold, it will probably be running again in a few hours.
Yesterday we never lost power or water. I did some laundry, and made a pot of soup; but that was about it. I'd run back here every once in awhile to check email, then back to the den which was - by comparison - reasonably warm! LOL! I did read a book, so not a completely "wasted" day. I'm hoping, with the sun shining (this is a dark house, so a cloudy day can be very depressing), I can dredge up some energy and at least clear away some of the clutter.
I hope you are all keeping warm and safe!!
